grannypat   11 #20 Posted May 25, 2013 Hi,  I was a barmaid in the Spa Club for a couple of years. I remember everone who has been mentioned and many more besides. My friend who also worked behind the bar was Barbara Smith and her husband was also on the committee. They lived across the road from the club. It was a smashing club and very friendly people who went in it. I remember when there used to be snooker matches in the snooker room. It was all very serious and everyone had to be very quiet while a shot was being taken. We used to delight in dropping a beer tray during these silences. We tried SO hard to look suitably sorry. We've grown up since. Honestly.  Grannypat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
