Stardust Circus
November 2002

Circus is located next to basketball hall. We park at the basketball hall parking lot and demonstrate on the lawn area opposite the circus entrance. Dixon reserve is actually road reserve for the future Roe Hwy and as such there is no council verge for us to protest on.

Show times are as below (demo times in brackets - not set yet):

Wed 13th 7.30pm
Thur 14th - 7.30pm
Fri 15th - 7.30pm
Sat 16th - 2pm & 7.30pm (6.30pm - 7.30pm)

Saturday evening 23rd November - the "big" top (left).

Below our vigil at entrance to parking lot opposite circus.

The council meeting held on the Tuesday 19th November 2002 did not support the move to ban circuses that used animals. As such, we must continue our efforts to inform the City of Cockburn constituents of the truth behind these so called "family" circus shows.

Our final demo for the Hamilton Hill shows will be 6.30pm this Saturday evening 23rd November - Please attend this demo. Late January/early February Stardust will be in Rockingham and that will be another campaign where we need support in numbers.

Please continue to write the City of Cockburn and request that they no longer allow circuses using animals to perform.
