Moor Community Sports College - Saturday 7th November 2015. This was an excellent and well attended Conference.

I was 14 in 1966, living in New Mills. For those who don't know it, it is at the top left corner of High Peak. Quite a bright spark for a girl from such a working-class family, daughter of a builder's labourer and part-time factory worker, who always voted Labour. I'd got a scholarship to a "posh" girls' school, but never quite learned how to be "posh". I went to the local Youth Club, that so-called "den of iniquity" that reputedly attracted yobbos and louts (mostly male, by definition). I never believed those labels. I never met any yobbos or louts there, just ordinary teenagers. Yeah, lots from the council estate. So what? I'd spent 10 years with mates from the council estate. Most of my relatives lived on council estates. Great places to be back then.
