Royston Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Anyone remember St Paul's youth club at the church hall on the Arbourthorne - top of East Bank Road - what a bunch of characters!! Many of us "grew up" there, all happening around 1956-60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenner Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Herdings Youth Club, I remember the staff, Mrs Archbould and Mrs Robinson, Maureen, Joe, Ken, Barry, Roy and Mavis and the one and only legendary Ted Jenkins OBE. Yes Herdings was one of my haunts along with my husband and his cousins (anyone know the Yellott family?). Yes the legendary Ted Jenkins OBE was there then (1968.) Prior to that, I used to go to St Teresa's on Prince of Wales Road for a time with an ex-boyfriend about 65/66. My kids also used to go to Earl Marshal where another legend worked, Gwen Harris. Happy days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcrazy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I went to one at Foxhill School, think it was a small community centre in the grounds of the school. Many moons ago now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrydown Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Did anyone go to the Holy Cross youth club at Gleadless or the Salvation Army youth club near Manor Top around 1966-69? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffin4 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I attended Stradbroke Youth Club which was formed at Stradbroke School shortly after it opened in the early 1950's. The school doubled up as a community centre and there were activities every evening of the week. I learnt to play double bass there and was a member of a six piece dance band called The Melodaires which played for dancing on Saturday evenings. Two of the members were at King Ted's, two at the Central Tech. The drummer was older and working and I was at Nether Edge. This was a good grounding for my progression into trad jazz a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitsmoorlad Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I went to the (strangely named) Helen Wilson Settlement at the bottom of Rutland Road. We had a football team who did quite well but it was a bit stange to hear people shouting "Come on Helen Wilson" Also went over to Ellesmere a few times cos they had table tennis tables.
