SNOOKER FORWOMEN
a woman's right to cues
Back:
Sheila Capstick played snooker at a Wakefield club for 3 years
before it enforced a "men-only" snooker rule. She organised a
50-strong picket and 2,000-strong petition but the committee
refused to budge, instead threatening Sheila and her supporters
with expulsion. She is now helping to organise ERICCA.
