Please forgive me for contacting you all out of the blue like this, but I am desperately in need of your help. I am a home news reporter with the Independent on Sunday newspaper and I need to find two former miners, ideally from the same pit, who were on opposite sides during the miners' strike in 1984/5, ie.one who went on strike and one who crossed the picket line. They need to be prepared to meet one another with myself and a photographer present, to talk about memories of the strike, how they have coped since and how they feel with the 25th anniversary approaching.
I need to be able to get them together by the end of this week, for a piece that I'm doing for this Sunday's paper.
Any help or advice that you can give me would be much appreciated.
Thanks and best,
Jonathan Owen
