    Hi Dotun & Carol
    It was rather inspiring & brought back so many Happy & sad memories. Sad because many of those that were involved in your voiced experience have passed on or not mobile at present. I knew your mother (Nanna) that was involved in the Luton NTCOG. Mum is now 93yrs old & still a member.I pray you are thinking of collaborating a book about this experience.The C/E must apologise. Soo much hurt & negative impact on our generation. So PROUD of Bishop Rose Hudson- Wilkins.
