Im 30 at the end of the year and I go to the one in norfolk street for my batteries and retubing and like you said it does seem to be more popular amongst the older folk, never seen anyone my own age in there to be honest.

Hey, I'm 26 and attend Sheffield Deaf Club on Grange Crescent. There are a few of us that regularly go on Wednesdays and attend Grand Bingo once a month. We usually have about 15 of us sat around one table. There are other the lads that play Snooker and the men that stand at the bar. There are always new and old faces. Would be good to see some more new faces as there is always threats of the DC closing due to small numbers attending! I'm going this Wednesday, should be there for about half 7 with a group of female friends, there will be an equal number of men and women ranging from the age of about 24, onwards. Children always welcome! Hope to see you there!
