mick2me 3,033 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have just received reliable information that Boots don't have anything to do with it anymore, tho it is still a social club. Anyone used to or still frequent the place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caz 25 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Actually I was curious to know if anyone on this site had been to Boots social club as we heard an old friend of my partners used to be a member. We would like to find him if we can,his name is Richard Greatorex.........anyone know him or his whereabouts?? Caz :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Caz, of course the name Greatorex is familiar to me from TB Seniors. I have a friend who is still connected with the club. I emailed him this topic in case he can help with Richard's current location. Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Membership is 14 pounds free entertaiment Friady and Saturdays nights including Bingo. Bingo Tuesday and just startted is a quiz on Sunday. For the record I was born on Alport Street and then we lived on Brussels Terrace,and still live in the Meadows. My father Geoff used to work at The Plumptre, New Bridge and Poets Corner before he died in 1968, I also have a brother Adrian Clare who wnt to Trent Bridge, I cab reme,ber most nights playing football on the embankment with members of the Old Meadows Old Boys, Pete Nicolson , Nobbu Greenhaulh , Bisto and others.
