SOCIALIST NETWORK is an ambitious project bringing together socialist social clubs into a co-operative group for joint political activity and mutual help.
The idea of linking independent socialist clubs was born at a Morning Star fundraiser in Manchester two-and-a-half years ago.
Two political activists from Glossop Labour Club in Derbyshire, Gwyneth Francis and John Hallsworth (John sadly died last year aged 67), and myself, from the Hebden Bridge Trades Club in West Yorkshire, came up with the plan.
The Trades Club had already formed a link with the “Red Shed,” as Wakefield Labour Club is affectionately known.
