This will be a weekend to remember in one of the most beautiful parts of Britain, so why not make a week of it? As well as a spectacular three days of talks, presentations, displays, music, memories, laughter, fun, friendship and family, you could explore from the ocean city of Plymouth into Devon and Cornwall.
It seems hard to believe that from an A4 newsletter in 2006, the UK Column has become the longest running alternative online news organisation in Britain. We set out to expose corruption and challenge the abuse of power at the highest level, and that mission has not changed. None of this would have been possible without the support of our members; support which helped us become a beacon of sanity in a sea of madness.
This 20th anniversary weekend will be an opportunity to showcase everything UK Column has accomplished and to thank all those who have contributed and supported us. We want you to be there as a part of it.
Grab your ticket, join the UKC team and be part of our wonderful weekend 20th Anniversary.
