Should Boys & Girls Play Together?Monday 30 June 2003
Members of a 40 year old boys' club in Bristol have voted to close down their club, rather than admit girls. They say girls would be a distraction and that they want time to be with the lads.

We ask the boys of Bedminster Down Boys Club in Bristol why they wanted to keep girls out.
Andy Miller, author of Tilting at Windmills and Clare Gillman, Health and Parenting journalist join Jennis to examine why girls and boys often prefer to stay in same sex groups.
