That should be good for a discussion.

Don't know that one but I'll have a little wager that Arthur Pickering wasn't far away.
Arthur was a great snooker player by the way and his dad worked there as the doorman for many years. Anyone who tried to get in without their book had no chance.

I was sponsored for membership of Tinsley club back in'66 by my (then future) father in law. It was all done correctly under the scrutinizing eye of Albert Burdon. It was like a High Court hearing.
Finally got my membership & affiliation card pressed in the hand, it was all very nerve wracking those days, but finally I could have a little chuckle to myself 'cos I was only 17 at the time!
Another doorman used to be my neighbour, Harold Moore. Used to natter with him over the garden fence, and in the evening, nearly get to blows if I'd forgotten my card.

my dad ,was the drummer there for years and i went on all the trips.

Arthur Pickering, Albert Burden, Jimmy Prince, Jerry Skelton (probably one of the best but most boring snooker players ever!) Club trips, coaches would be lined up all the way down Sheffield road!! Packet of money, drink and some spangles! 5 Full size snooker tables, massive concert room, great atmosphere! I don't know who had the pint but i ended up dismantling and taking away the snooker table for a buyer in Bawtry, very strange day that was!!:(

Albert Burden used to book the best 'turns' going at the time, until "Equity" put a stop to it all. Then you had to take what was sent!

I know what you mean here. One day I was summonsed before the commitee because my wife Joan laughed too loud and once she even dared to laugh during the bingo. I was ordered to stop her laughiong or I would be suspended. I then even dared to tell them what to do with their suspension and guess what ??
I was suspended. :D

We used to sit at the next table to you in the club (everybody had their place then) with friends of ours, Ellie And Phil. Your wife Joan, had very long hair then and I was always taking it out of my beer.
