"The Council Chamber is a unique, purpose-built trade union meeting place at the heart of Durham Miners’ Hall. For almost a century, this impressive debating chamber was the scene of the deliberations and heated discussions which shaped the lives of our mining communities in the Durham coalfield.
"Each Miners’ Lodge sent an elected delegate to speak on behalf of the colliery workers, representing the interests of their area. Key issues would be debated and decisions voted on. Delegates would sit in a given seat with that seat number associated with their lodge. At present 150 of the seat numbers are known thanks to recently discovered list of colliery numbers from December 1950.
"Now over a century on from its opening, these seats are in need of renovation. As Grade II listed assets the Durham Miners’ Association is seeking to raise funds for their renewal.
"We’re launching a one-off sponsorship scheme where individuals, groups, families and lodges can sponsor a seat."

They cost a hundred quid. A lot cheaper than Westminster ones, but even so.
DeleteSeriously, anyone who can do this, should.
