Working Men's Clubs in Sheffield
painterman replied to fuddyduddy's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Hi I first joined Pitsmoor W M C in 1965 and later on joined The Arundel Ex Serv club, of which I am still a member. in the 60s , 70s , 80s i used the clubs regularly but in recent years not so much. There used to be some very good acts to see, for free and we had some great times. If you want to check a club out that has bucked the trend over the years , then the Arundel is the one to go to. -

Off topic here but can anyone tell me what pub was above the "who can tell" , I was asked by a friend in the pub last week and can't remember. I can remember a few in the area but not sure which was closest to the "who can tell " Thanks for any help -
If you google "car boot junction " you can get all the info you need

Yes I remember Bunny and his son Rodney. I used to play darts in the same league, played for the Forest on Rutland Rd, the Furnival and the Buckenham.

I am guessing you are a few years older than me from those names. Danny Fairweather I got to know in later years as he used to go in my dads pub, ( The Buckenham ), Bob South is a good friend of mine he is about 4/5 years older than me but we used to out out for a drink together at one time with our wives.
