Frances Stewart
Frances joined the
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND):
"The first time I went along
I was really inspired.
The people who belonged to CND then were
in the main
socialists, doctors, teachers
and quakers."
"The Croydon branch was fairly big -
we had about 200 members -
and I was fundraiser.
It used to annoy me
that I would do all this fundraising
and the money was spent on leaflets
which we handed out
when we marched
down Croydon High Street,
and they just littered the pavements
and I thought,
this is ridiculous.
Why do we print all these leaflets?
People thought we were cranks,
but harmless cranks."
