Summary Timeline: 2019 – Jan/Feb Conference – ‘GFTU the forgotten centre’ at the ‘Friends Meeting Centre’. *Papers and speakers for the conference would need to be submitted towards the latter part of 2018 MS- suggests early approaches to Football Museum for a major exhibition in April/May (2019?) SSLH MS- has already e-mailed the Society for the Study of Labour History to seek support and participation and is awaiting a response. WCML Mini exhibition around worker’s sport federations. Also, we would ask if they would consider supporting a series of talks (including PFA). (MS has already made contact with WCML who have expressed interest some of the proposed events) Home HOME is a centre for international contemporary art, theatre and film in Manchester which has access to a number of football dramas. They may also have access to footage which relates to sporting working conditions. Certainly worth approaching regarding project 120.
