Anyone remember going to Norton Youth Club in the early 60,s. I have such fond memories of going on a Friday night.

I never went to the Youth Club, but I do have happy memories of the Saturday Night Dances every second week which I went to from 1959 till 1963.I grew up living on the Meads.

Yes i also went to the church dances, it was so good, and felt very grown up, must have been all of 15, i went from about 61 to 64. Did you go to Jordanthorpe Girls School? I was their when it first opened.

Great memories of the Saturday night dances at Norton Church Hall circa 1960. My mates and I used to travel across from Ecclesall, as it was such a good night out. Remember meeting and dating a lovely brunette there called Hilary Rigby who worked at Cole Brothers when it was on Fargate.

Does anyone remember the ballroom dancing classes run at the hall by the Saynor's (I think that was their name - maybe brother and sister).

I would have loved to go to Jordanthorpe Girls but I was a boy. However my mother Mrs Hughes taught English there for several years.

I went to Norton Youth Club between 1960 & 63?. Also went to the church hall dances. Met my wife there in 63, that's when I stopped going to the YC.
I remember the snooker table & the home made record player. Also the 2 girls who always made the coffee.

Hi, i think thats about the years i was going to the youth club, the Robbins
twins would go along with a lad called Richard Robinson,Jakie and Margaret, oh such memories.

used to go to norton youth club and scouts until 1970 , when one night I got knocked down by a ford anglia and spent then next year recovering .

How awful for you, sorry but cannot remember the accident myself. Was it close to the youth club.

The Robbins twins played in the local band, originaly called the Rolling Stones, renamed to something else when the real Stones came along. I remember Richard Robinson, he had a sister called Jill. They lived just up the road from me in Norton Lane.

So many shared memories, I wonder if we knew each other. Don't remember Pete Wragg tho.

Others who spring to mind are Don Corby, Graham Thampson, Pat Batch, Sue Atkinson, Phil Rogers.

Oh my god, yes those names ring a bell, Sue Atkinson lived off Warminster Rd,use to walk with the gang down to her house ,after church on a Sunday evening. Phil i think lived on Hendon Ave. And yes remember Pat, and a boy whose surname i only remember was Jones. He use to drive a mini. Not heard from any of these friends for over 40yrs. I bet we know each other.!!

Sue Atkinson lived off Warminster Rd,use to walk with the gang down to her house ,after church on a Sunday evening.

Yes I remember that. I lost touch with all those people when I left Sheffield in the late 1960s. My name is Roger Colley. What's yours.

My maiden name was Brindley.

My maiden name was Brindley.

Wow!! after all these years, I certainly remember you. I went to Rowlinson, and I think you went to Jordanthorpe. I was friends with many people from that school. You lived near Meadowhead I think. I lived in Norton Lane.

Hi there, well yes your name rings a bell, but after 40yrs + the old memory isn,t a what it was. I have just retired from nursing. I use to live on
Bocking Lane, but walked up to the youth club every Monday and Friday, what ever the weather. Now live in Dronfield.

Yes, every Monday & Friday, summer & winter plus the Saturday dances.

Those were happy days indeed. I must stop writting to this thread or I will drown in terminal nostalgia, so many memories, names that I had forgotten keep coming back.
Still we can't go back, so we must go forwards. Those of us from that era who have survived the working years, should now dedicate ourselve to causing as much worry to our children as we did to our parents.

Your only old once so enjoy it while you can. Resolve to grow old disgracefully.

Nice to have met you again.

Yes when my two children (son 30 daughter 29) are getting ready to hit the town, i often relapse to the day,s when i was doing the same. We wish they could find partner,s now tho, and flee the nest.

my dad , Mick Bullifent, lived in norton in the 50s-60s and went to norton free and then on to Rowlinson. Mymum, Julie Grimley went to Jordanthorpe
