Paddy Wheatfields 4 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Over Christmas we got to talking about the Nottingham Boys Clubs. How were they founded, who by, are there any left? What brought it up was boxing, and how it keeps lads off the streets etc. Anyone know if there is anything on the web, or a book, about Boys Clubs? [/size] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paddy Wheatfields 4 Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Oh, found something: ""Oliver Hind, a partner in the old-established family firm of solicitors at 16 Fletcher Gate, Nottingham was for thirty years Captain of the 2nd Nottingham Company of the Boys Brigade. He also formed a Boys Club in DaKeyne Street, Sneinton"" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,638 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 A team of lads came to our village fete last summer,( in Lincolnshire) went by the name of the Flying Angels, I think they were connected to Oliver Hind boys club. An absolute credit to the club and to the youth of Nottingham, out of all the villagers there I was the only one Nottingham born and bred and I was so proud of them lads.
