We have a discussion meeting scheduled for this Sunday evening, 12th January at 8pm in Dronfield Contact Club. See details below.
Dronfield Labour Party Discussion Meeting
Topic: Life Long Learning for Social Change
Speaker: Bob Heath
Time: 8pm to 9.15pm
Date: Sunday 12th January
Venue: Contact Club, Snape Hill Lane, Dronfield, S18 2GJ.
Bob Heath will address us on the subject of Life Long Learning for Social Change.
A
member of the Labour Party for 58 years and life-long learner himself,
Bob was a miner for 10 years between 1950 and 1960. He benefitted during
this time from the opportunity to do Day Release study and attend the
Sheffield University Extramural Department. In 1959 he received a N.U.M.
scholarship to Ruskin College.
Several
of our Discussion group members attended Ruskin College in Oxford and
Coleg Harlech in Wales. For some, like Bob Heath and Harry Barnes, it
provided a springboard to further educational opportunities.
Following his time at Ruskin, Bob spent a year in Montreal, Canada as a Travelling
Research Fellow at McGill University. He then studied for an Economics
and Sociology degree at Hull University. After a short stint at Keele
University, Bob was a Lecturer in Economics and Industrial Studies at
University of Sheffield Extramural Department for over 30 years.
He retired in 1998, but he's still learning.
All welcome for an interesting discussion.
Happy New Year to All!
Rosie Smith
Dronfield Labour Party Political Education Officer
