A Bendigo Trades Hall Council meeting threatens a black ban on the Bendigo Thousand carnival if the City Council does not explain why it did not reply to a THCBS request for the showgrounds for Labour Day week end events. A joint THC and BS application had sought use of the grounds, but the council deferred it in December. Ted Waterford has since secured the grounds for the Bendigo Thousand event. The unionists warn they will tell members to stay away from the March two day meeting if no answer is received within two weeks.
