why did it close?
As one of the last volunteers at the CCRU, I was told by the staff that it was closing because Thatcher's government wanted to save money. That seemed plausible at the time, but I have no other source for that statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.154.79 (talk) 00:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

editThe link to the video clip returns a 404 error. There is a perfectly working example of the video on youtube. I changed the link on the Wiki but it was rejected by the "clever" bot.
so clever, it re-instated the dead link
