lowowl   10 #1 Posted October 25, 2012 I am involved in showing a documentary filmed at the Dial House Club in 1965 by the German filmmaker Peter Nestler and 2 other people. They were in Sheffield for a few weeks and went to the club for a while before starting to film. We are now showing the film at the Sheffield Showroom on 11 November and the filmmaker will be there and I am sure he would be very pleased to meet some of the people who were there at that time.

lowowl   10 #5 Posted October 25, 2012 No, you don't have to. It's open to everyone, but of course it would be of special interest to people who belong to working men's clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   32 #10 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) This old thread about the film includes (in Post #15) links to the film in three parts on YouTube (where it is an "unlisted video"). The film begins with a band playing "Hello Dolly", and then the voice-over begins. Here is a quick translation of the voice-over at the beginning of the film:  Sheffield is a working-class city in mid-England, comparable with Dusburg or Essen. Half a million people live here.  Then after a pause, a man is shown on Ben Lane, walking down to the club. The voice-over continues:  This is Mr Charles Henry Richards. He is 63 years old, married, and has a 31 year-old daughter who is ill and unable to work. He is a grinder in a cutlery factory and earns about 95 marks [then about £8 10s] per week. On Sundays he goes to the club at 10 in the morning to drink beer and talk with his friends.  Then the camera shows some people talking at the bar and playing cards etc. and the film continues. .

carlos   10 #11 Posted November 1, 2012 Due to unforeseen circumstances Peter Nester will not be in attendance on Sunday the 11th of November, but the screening will still be going ahead. Ruth Cherrington, author of ‘Not Just Beer and Bingo – A Social History of Working Men’s Clubs’ will lead a Q&A session after the film.  http://www.goethe.de/ins/gb/lon/en9500432v.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
