About this Event
¨ Eluned Hughes is stuck. It's 1984 in a valley in south Wales: the miners' strike is ravaging her community; her sister's swanned off with a Thatcherite policeman; and her boyfriend Lloyd keeps bringing up marriage. And if they play '99 Red Balloons' on the radio one more time, she might just lose her mind.
¨ Then the fundraising group Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners comes down from London, and she meets June, a snaggle-toothed blonde in a too-big leather jacket. Suddenly, Eluned isn't stuck any more - she's in freefall.
¨ June's an artist and an activist. With June, Eluned can imagine a completely different life for herself. But as her family struggles with the strike, and her relationship with her sister deteriorates, should she really leave it all behind?

This group is an excellent opportunity to discover contemporary and historically significant queer literature. Do you have that list of must-read titles that everyone has been raving about, that you just haven’t gotten around to yet? We’re going to read them all! At each meeting you can discuss your thoughts with likeminded individuals in a safe, welcoming environment. Loved the book? Great! Hated it? Let’s get into why! Come to chat, meet new friends and connect with the community!
We meet on the last Thursday of every month
