MORNING STAR supporters gathered for an inspirational social evening at Liverpool’s Casa club on Saturday in memory of veteran communist and campaigner Sam Watts, who died last year aged 89.
Mr Watts featured in the Ken Loach film The Spirit of ’45, and his interview from the film was shown on Saturday.
Speakers at the social evening included Gordon Nash, 90, a veteran comrade of Mr Watts, Carolyn Jones, director of the Liverpool-based Institute for Employment Rights, and Kevan Nelson of Merseyside Morning Star Readers and Supporters Group. Band the Peacemakers gave a lively and well-received performance.
The social raised £400 for the Morning Star fighting fund.
The social was preceded on Saturday afternoon by the northern annual meeting of the People’s Press Printing Society, the co-operative which owns the Star, at the north-west regional headquarters of Unite in Liverpool. A collection raised £170 for the Fighting Fund.
