Talk: "The wartime canal volunteers who called themselves ‘Idle Women’"

The work women of the Land Army in World War 2 is well known. This talk tells the story of the less well-known women who volunteered in the 1940s to keep traffic flowing on Britain’s canals. However they may have referred to themselves, they were far from “idle women”. Our speaker, Alastair Clark, has a career background working in research, management and delivery of Adult Education at local, national and international level.
