| Description | The constitution of the Young People's Committee was approved by the Midland Adult School Union Council in 1926, and the first meeting of the Committee was held on 12/02/1927. The Younger Women's League merged with the Young People's Committee in 1927.
It received reports from Young People's groups across the region and organised activities to enable closer collaboration between groups, such as conferences, residential and non-residential schools, trips away at Bewdley Guest House and St. Oswald's Camp, Rubery, an annual Christmas party, rambles, theatre trips to Stratford and other social activities.
Young People's Meetings were held at Coventry, Rugby, New Bilton, West Smethwick, Oldbury, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Selly Oak, Stirchley. Although a rigid age restriction was not imposed on membership of the Committee, it was recommended that members be in the 18-30 age range or thereabouts.
The Young People's Committee merged with the Young People's Extension Committee from 3 July 1940. One set of minutes were used from July 1941 under the title of Young People's Committee.
