Kiss Hi There,

Does any one out there remembers the Y.M.C.A. dances on a Saturday? in the mid 60s I seem to recall that they were on at a Sat mornings or maybe around the lunch time.

They had live groups and then records to follow (not called disco's in those days)

with just soft drinks and coffee. We loved every minute thet we were there and had some great times....just like "The Dancing Slipper" West Bridgeford on Central Lane, lots of great groups there on a Fri night e.g "The JayBirds"......Any one remember at all???

sorry Hilary, but do recall the "Discoteque" at the TBI in the mid 60's, we might not have used the term Disco but did use the full name...

Did anyone go to the Yachting Club, Trent Bridge, and watch The Xciters? They were the next best thing to the Rolling Stones, or so they seemed at that age.

How about the Log Cabin at Watnall I think it was. The Creepers, more commonly called The Miners Welfare on Nutthall Road?
