Anyone here go to the Spiders community centre disco

on a friday nite in the late 60's/early 70's?

I remember going to the off licence and buying a litre of cider/strongbow which was drunk on the street first.

Same preparation before going in the Friary - was that on a thursday

nite?

The first youth club leader at Clifton in about 1956ish was a Mrs Machin,I think she was some relation to the Notts County director,then webby took over and it was run as a proper youth club.

I went there from its opening to when it moved to the new premises

Anybody remember Monty Hind youth club near The White Hart at Lenton? I recall going there when it opened, the guy who ran it was a biker and I think he died in an accident not long after.

Remember going to Monty Hinds club, with a gan of Mods on scooters, looking for trouble as usual, got more than we bargained for, lots of Greasers from the White Hart joined the melee.............................
