Events and community

We are at the heart of a vibrant community in Glossop. Regular activities at the club include a Folk Club on Tuesdays and an informal music session on Fridays. We are home to a walking group, a reading group, a women's group and a knitting group. The Glossop Folk Train visits us once a month and we host Glossop Record Club for all you Vinyl junkies. We are a community space and we host a number of groups including the Glossop Guild, Samba Band, a Creative Writing group, Zumba, Peace Group, People's Kitchen and many others. History

The club was founded in 1906 by some of Glossopdale's leading trade unionists, co-operators and suffragettes. They were young and enthusiastic socialists and were extremely active politically in the valley. Throughout our history we have been home to people from all the various traditions on the left and to people with no party political affiliation. Membership

Whilst many of our activities are open to the public, we are a members club. Our normal membership is called a 'social' membership and costs just £5 a year. Once you've been a member for a year you can apply for full membership which entitles you to vote in elections and to stand for committee. Principles

We are proud of our socialist history and expect members to abide by our principles of equality and liberty for all. We do not tolerate sexism, racism or any form of hatred towards minority groups. page rules

T

ogether Alliance Summit

A number of members of the club ( largely through High Peak Against Racism and Glossopdale Together Alliance) will be attending the first regional conference of Together Alliance. This takes place in Manchester this Saturday. Anyone can register for this summit for as little as £7.50. Those attending from Glossop will be on the 0852 hrs train from Glossop station. https://www.togetheralliance.org.uk/organise-together

Give Racism the Red Card

Tomorrow is the date that Give Racism the Red Card invites communities to dress in red as a statement for anti-racism. It would be great if people can join us in the club with what ever red they have got for a social drink from 9 pm onward. Expect a group photograph ! https://www.theredcard.org/

Political Monday: " Use it or Lose it" 26 October at 7.30 pm.

Many of us are extremely worried about the very significant erosion of civil rights that has taken place over the last year. This is an issue that goes beyond the subject of the protest concern - typically pro- Palestinian or Environmental issues - in its attack on democratic principles that we had previously taken for granted. Local activists, who have themselves been arrested as terrorists, will jointly lead this discussion.

Three great events taking place at the Glossop Labour Club this weekend and next.

SATURDAY 3 OCTOBER: GIG. LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM PRESENTS “ PETER VADIVELOO”. 7.30 for 8pm. Peter, based in Australia, came to play at the club in July last year as part of his first UK tour. He had such a good time, he wanted to come back. An accomplished singer songwriter with his heart firmly in the right place. His songs are complimented by interesting commentary on the political situation in Australia; it is perhaps shocking to hear of the similarities. Tickets (£10 ADV, £12 OTD) are available behind the bar, at George Street Community Bookshop or at Wegottickets. https://wegottickets.com/f/28486

SATURDAY 10 OCTOBER. GIG: WILDOOD JACK. 7.30 for 8pm. We had Wildwood Jack 3 years ago and they went down so well, with a capacity audience, that we knew we had to invite them to come again. Wildwood Jack are a totally unique acoustic guitar and ukulele duo from Kent. Having sold their home in 2013 to hit the road and tour the world, they bring an intimate, heartwarming and adventurous spirit to their music and to audiences wherever they play. Contemporary folk played with outstanding acoustic guitar and ukulele.
Tickets (£10 for advance booking) are available from the Club and from George Street Bookshop. Also online from wegottickets, https://wegottickets.com/f/29218

SUNDAY 11 OCTOBER: THE RED SHED PRESENTS “RADICAL ROOTS” 1.30 pm for 2pm. Pay as you feel. The play is made up of four interwoven monologues / scenes, each telling a story that connects to the roots of the labour movement, co-operation, and Chartism in the North:
