@MuBuMiner Agreed! In fact, I think it's time for a re-read, it's been a while since I've read it.

Don't mind having a working weekend when you get to spend it at the @NCMME being part of the "History and Legacy of the 1984/5 Miners’ Strike Symposium". Thanks @ProfGildart for organising the day, lots to think about for future research 🤔 ✊ https://t.co/KVooxl6EeG

@silverfox504 I didn't get many pictures (I'm sure Chelsea has more and I know there is a video).

[Dr Kat Simpson @kat_simmo]

So proud of the Young Leaders who smashed the research event at the @NCMME. Shout out to @mikkmurray our Graffiti Artist who captured the lads' stories & @silverfox504 our former miner who led the coal workshops & supported each stage of the project ✊
