🍻Sharlston Colliery Miners Reunion 2026: What a fantastic evening had by all at St Johns Terrace WMC. Another successful reunion which seemed a larger gathering than the last one. We held a 2 minute silence for old miners we have lost and raised over £500 for local charities. Thanks Billy ♥️ | Sharlston Colliery.
