Please read our latest report about the urgent need for an #OrgreaveInquiry otjc.org.uk/orgreave-truth… Email the Home Secretary: [email protected] [email protected] & your MP. Find your MP here: members.parliament.uk/members/Commons Draft email here: otjc.org.uk/write-to-the-h…



There's countless interviews with Arthur Scargill centered around the miners strike but probably not as many leading up to 1984. The latest episode of the Barnsley Museums podcast was recorded by John Kelly (founder of Lamproom Musical Theatre Company) in 1983.

After very productive & positive meetings at the Home Office & with MPs this week, we are moving nearer to an #Orgreaveinquiry Please contact your MP & the #HomeSecretary to emphasise that an inquiry needs to start soon otjc.org.uk/write-to-the-h… - members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP




Anyone that knows me knows how much I love Barnsley so it's been a pleasure to be at Barnsley College today with Dr... (just) Elli Brickwood delivering an Outreach session on the suite of Education degrees at University of Huddersfield (plus VIP parking...big thanks to BC for having us).


There is still plenty of time to book onto this event at the National Coal Mining Museum If you're interested in former coal mining communities, youth experiences, education, employment and/or community (or just fancy a day out at the NCM) get booked on now! Dr... (just) Elli Brickwood

Don't mind having a working weekend when you get to spend it at the National Coal Mining Museum being part of the "History and Legacy of the 1984/5 Miners’ Strike Symposium". Thanks Professor Keith Gildart for organising the day, lots to think about for future research 🤔 ✊ ncm.org.uk/whats-on/histo…
