2easyco 41 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Anybody remember the Variety Club which existed in Radford during the 1960's? I vaguely remember visiting a few times with mates on a pub crawl and there being a table game called Blackjack' but I don't think it was a card game but a kind of table roulette. I would like to learn more about this venue as I am sure it's memory remains fresh in a lot of local peoples minds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

banjo48 928 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Sure my older brother used to drag me there on a Sunday lunchtime, for the stripper show ! Did I say drag.

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Always trying to make a few quid extra when kids were little, me and my wife used to do a bit of cleaning in our spare time. We worked for this couple who rented out digs for students. When we cleaned the flats upstairs at the variety club, we used to laugh at the sound of the stripper music wafting from downstairs. One day for a laugh I started to strip to the music to make my wife laugh (there was only us up there) when the boss walked in. You should have seen his face. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
