Did anyone go to the joint Arbourthorne Methodist and Prince of Wales Road Methodist churches youth club. Known as the YPFG during the 1950s and early 60s? The minister was Rev George Beck and then Rev Jack Lucas. I remember the Roome family and the Ironside family.

I went to Norfolk YC in the 50s on arbourthorne run by a Mr Gray .I met my wife there .The names Fred Parker, Doug Ibbotson ,Alan Roebuck, Terry Senior spring to mind .There was a bunch of lads from Gleadless Valley who I knocked about with, Frank Pigott, Terry McGuire, Tony Plant and others.Great times and great memories. I lived opposite the club entrance, so had to be careful of watching parents

Greenhill and Bradway Youth Club on Lowedges. A proper, purpose built Youth club.

 

Really lucky to have that facility in the early 1970's when all we'd been used to was church halls with a dansette record player that were used as a youth clubs.

I went there a few times but Rowlinson was my local one.

Tell me a few names you remember.
