I remember going with Southey Green W M club and Smithy Wood club where my uncle Albert used to play the piano with Dennis on drums ( I think )
The money was always welcome and the tickets for the rides, and the bag of goodies.
Those were the days

Sheffield foundry workers club trips ! Legendary. It's shut and ready for demolition now ! Somethings haven't changed for the better. More community spirit back then !

Do working mens clubs still run trips for kids ?

I lived across from Tinsley Working Mens Club, remember well the long rows of charabancs awaiting us over excited kids. And wow! bags of crisps and bottles of pop, never mind the little brown envelope with some silver money in it.

[rossyrooney]

We went with The Windsor pub on the Wybourn,half a crown spending money and a sit down meal at the Winter Gardens in Cleethorpes,everyone hated going for the meal because it meant less time for fun.

I remember mass trips to the Pictures on Saturday mornings and best of all, the WMC trips to the seaside. Enough pop and crisps to make you sick for a week. Fish and chips in the street. Fantastic. The adults that were "in charge" often drunk before arriving and topping up all day. Kids now cannot understand how good it was, let loose in a strange place full of new things and money (10 bob) to spend. If you were lucky you got trips with numerous clubs to Skeggy, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes, and very rarely Blackpool. With the old joke of looking sicker than a Skegness donkey on a Blackpool beach !!!.
Great memories.
