Abergavenny Town of Sanctuary will hold their Annual General Meeting on Friday 20th June at the Melville Theatre, Penypound, Abergavenny.   The evening will begin with the business meeting at 6.30pm to be followed by refreshments including Syrian pastries and  then the showing of a film, “Hostile”, at 7.30pm 

From the Hostile website’s Synopsis: 

“Hostile examines the UK’s Hostile Environment — A term coined by Theresa May in 2012 to refer to a collection of immigration policies she introduced as Home Secretary. It captures the atmosphere the government wanted to create for migrants in the country, with the intention of provoking them to leave the UK of their own accord. Immigration continues to dominate headlines and has taken centre stage during the 2024 election, in which policies such as the controversial Rwanda Asylum Plan were hotly debated. This film maintains its relevance as the lives of vulnerable members of our society are increasingly being used as a political football.” 

Tea and coffee will be available in the coffee bar for a charge of £1 which goes to the support of the Melville Theatre.   Parking is available and  there is a disabled parking space, with rear door access for wheelchair  (please  advise us in advance if required), and a disabled toilet.
