My Gran and Granda would be round that club on Poole Road/Fordfield Road all the time when I was a nipper. It might have been called Pennywell Club but I'm not sure.
Comrades is in South Hylton to add to the the bizarreness.....i think?Ford & Hylton Lane Club (which bizarrely was in Pennywell tbf).
Yep - it's just the right side of Checkpoint Charlie.Comrades is in South Hylton to add to the the bizarreness.....i think?
A mate of mine won the £25,000 number draw last year..that million pound they've got in the bank is something that's been mentioned for ages..it was only a few years ago that they posted a loss for the first time in the clubs history.

Me Granda was Secretary at the Welfare back in the 70's. Loved going in there as a pre-teen lad with him. Being allowed to play pool, and being allowed to win because I was with him. He passed in 1985, at the end of the miners strike. He was the last man to leave the F-Pit as he was the Cage Driver in the wheel house, and when he passed away the "Billy Trotter Memorial" Pool tournament started. I was allowed to present it to the winner the first year it ran. Funnily enough, to a bloke I beat when I was 10.Washington Welfare was part of my youth and early adult life, every pub or club I go in now I compare them to the Welfare, it was brilliant, full of characters, hard drinkers, hard men and some of the best pool and snooker players I have seen. If you were a Welfare lad you had mates for life. I actually cried when it was pulled down after the travesty it was allowed to become. ( last chance ranch )

It might have had a name change locally but It's probably 35 years plus since I've been in for a couple of family weddings.Stumpys Cup ??
I've heard of the jolly girls but not the jolly boys. Do you know what the jolly name was about? Was it something to do with the jolly buses?My parents and relatives went to Thorney Close for many years - my dad was proud that he was a 'jolly boy'. When he died she started going to the Grindon club and Farringdon on a Sunday night for the dancing. Just before she died she went into Archer's Court care home and her room overlooked the defunct Farringdon club - it broke her heart to see it all shuttered up and falling to bits.
Its no longer there mate, was knocked down around 10 years ago, an old peoples home stands there now.It might have had a name change locally but It's probably 35 years plus since I've been in for a couple of family weddings.
On a rare day off many moons ago...went into local WMC in Dudleyshire... lunctime beer and sat with Committee men and couple of othersMy local was The Deneside Catholic Club in Jarra, been gone over 10 years now but back in the late 80's & 90's it was absolutely rammed.
They used to queue to get in on a sunday night for their seats in the concert room, the bar was always heaving, lounge the same....unfortunately it was being run by corrupt kernts who made their living via the skim, never worked a day in their lives some of them had the same carpet in their living rooms as what was in the lounge, committee men going to every skunk home game via tickets from the brewery instead of raffling them for charity.
One fat tw*t in particular used to run the blind football card, if you were in the bar and asked who won, it was always someone in the lounge, if you were in the lounge and asked it was always someone in the bar.....and the portly fucker was carrying a wad that would've choked a donkey
The closest big one now is probably The Shack in Boldon Colliery
