Wortley Hall has been chosen as, like previous venues, it has past links to
the NUM’s education. I attended many Derbyshire NUM weekend and week long
schools there as I am sure did many of us. It is also a valuable Trade Union
resource that is celebrating 60 years of ownership by the Trade Union and Labour
Movement (who says workers can’t run a business!). It will also feature a number
of public meetings.
