A leaflet promoting  Newbridge Credit Union Action Group rally on Saturday 31st of August 2013 with a free concert after the rally. I’ve also included a scan of  a car sticker . It seems that whilst the Banks got a lot of help from the State , its not quite the case with the Credit Unions and there are similar stories re Credit Unions countrywide.  Many thanks to the sender who notes….

Massive turnout for Wednesday night’s meeting at the Ryston Sports Centre, with over 900 angry people, heard a spokesperson from the newly-formed Credit Union Action Group state, ”we are prepared to fight for the future of the struggling institution, and the other serious question of the staff jobs”.
