Socialism, Cycling and Sunny Spain
Check out this site which reports on a Glasgow to Barcelona Cycle ride by the National Clarion Cycling Club (1895). This is to remember a similar cycle ride made by two members of the Clarion Cycling Club in May 1938 to raise money to support the victims of the Spanish Civil War.
They are out there now and hope to finish next week.
The blog is entitled “Socialism, Cycling and Sunny Spain”. On route they visit important historical sites in the UK and Spain linked to the war.

The unions/left should organise sports clubs again.
It is a brilliant way to bring people together.
A branch ten pin bowling night - anything!

Sorry, I missed responding. Yes, Miles we should organise clubs again. Union Facebooks are not enough.

it's a bit iffy but the Clinton saying "it takes a village to grow a child" - does makes sense.
