pradip Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hello there, does anyone remeber the y.m.c.a. On broomhall road in the late sixties? Pradip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morts Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Very much! It was about the first place in Sheffield to have a proper sports hall. I virtually lived there during the weekday evenings. There was football training, Trevor Hockey led that but just for one session, circuit training led by Richard Hnat, always remember that surname, a good free weights room and a karate club.

Mapman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was at the opening ceremony of the 'new@ ymca on Broomhall Road, but it was never as good for me as the old ym on Fargate in the mid to late 60's. We had a great social group, made very good friends and always somewhere to go in any evening. Recalling names Pete Courtney, Pete Hollis, Pam Stacey, Pam & Beryl Gent, Howard Roney, Sylvia Hirst, Dave Bower, Chris Jones and John McKillop to name but a (very) few.

pradip Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 wonderful to hear from you. I used to live there during 1969-1970 and used to play badminton, cricket and a lot of snooker. I still cherish memories of the marvellous time I had during my stay at the Y.M.C.A. PRADIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightmonkey Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I've just been reading the comments on the YMCA in Sheffield. Mapman mentioned my name. I not longer live in Sheffield but have some great memories of my time at the YMCA. Any guesses who I am? I believe my nickname wa "teacake".

Mapman Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi Rightmonkey, There were 2 "P's" in our group. You are one and my sister was the other. If I have got you right, you have a younger sister and an even younger brother and lived near the NGH. Who then am I? Pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightmonkey Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Well Mapman, I must have given the wrong nickname (it was the 60's after all).....I'm the younger sister of P and have a younger brother...I'm trying to remember who you are!

rightmonkey Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I've been trying to remember anyone with a sister named Pam (apart from me) and it would appear I have a mental block. Oh, wait a minute - I remember the two of you. Still can't get your first name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
