a boys’ club has been forced to call itself a “working with young people” group – because council bosses ruled its name was sexist, bureaucrats threatened to withdraw funding of £11,600 a year unless the historic Broad Plain Boys’ Club met guidelines on equality, the sports club in Easton, Bristol – which already admitted girls – is now known as Broad Plain Working With Young People, club leader Dennis Stinchcombe MBE, 53, has run the group for 33 years. He said: “We had to give in. It’s a tragedy, “The club’s been part of Bristol for 115 years.”
what makes this a bitter pill to swallow is that the Labour-led city council DOES fund other single-sex groups – such as the Bristol and Avon Chinese Women’s Group, what a load of two faced non descript nobodies must work in Bristol council.
