anyone go to the youth club on Havelock Bridge. It was actually on the ground between Shoreham St and Queens Road. I seem to recall it being called St Wilfred's. That was c1968. I remember dancing to Witch Queen of New Orleans, Young Gifted and Black, Build me up Buttercup and Bad Moon Rising

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 :thumbsup:

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.

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.
