gadge 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 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?

lynmee 38 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
