RichardB Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Time to put right the damage I've done to WMC's by posting so much about Pubs. Please post the names, addresses (if known) and dates (if known) of WMC's and we will built an alphabetical list; hopefully get some pictures and people's names on there too. I'm away next week, so hopefully there will be a lot of postings to read through when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Radford Street Club, I have a photograph of it still standing with the surrounds all demolish, taken about 1964-5. I saw Pat Pheonix [ Elsie Tanner ] who officially opened the new St Philips Club in 1966. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Are all 3 clubs still open on City Rd 3? I've only listed 2, Oh yes, well done Stuart I had forgot about.. Arundel ex-servicemens Club, City Road Don't know for sure if they are all still open but on our way back from town last Saturday night the Manor club certainly is. Thanks to the smoking ban in public buildings there were more people stood outside smoking than you could get into the building. Glad I didn't have to walk along that section of City Road!

RichardB Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Cheers Billy, if you the check the Pubs thread Christmas present(s) you may realise why the WMC listing has been so sadly neglected - hopefully something we can work on and put right. Best Wishes and Welcome to SheffieldHistory. Iwas never a Member, just a guest when visiting La Plata with my father. Needs someone with a real interest to take ownership and make this topic worthwhile; when did WMC's begin ?, what was the reason/history; which was first ? any known keepers or a governing body etc etc. My apologies for completely flooding this thread with Pub postings - they are, however, quite impressive if I say so myself.

John T Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ....may still be flying up and down between clubs to catch the bingo!!!! The Clubs on City Road. Sunday lunchtime was a hoot! Like the migration of the wildebeast.. P&A (also known as Cabbies Castle, after the Secretary who "authorised" the Vera Duckworth-like stone cladding and battlements in the 80's) ran their bingo at 12.30 following which the club emptied as the Manor Estate club ran theirs at 1pm. Not to be outdone the migration continued to the Arundel for bingo (or tombola as it was then known) at 1.30. Shrewd business or just amatuers running professional organisations? Well, it worked. The Manor used to play 4 or 5 full houses for £100 each on a Wednesday night for 25p a book. It was big money back then and you could hear a pin drop, as they say.

Guest beatle Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Anybody remember Wincobank & Blackburn WMC on Fife St. Wincobank. I used to go there as a kid with my Parents on Saturday & Sunday nights. Used to have some good "turns" on during the 50's & 60's e.g. Tony White; Tony Dalli; Engleburt (before he changed his name);Ricky Lee & her Husband(Can't remember his name); Fortunes etc. Concert Secretary was called Doug Jessop who was very strict - you had to keep quiet while the "turn" was on otherwise he'd turn on the room lights and shout "Order Please". In those days you had to be a member and prove it to get in. I'm a member of the Arundel on City Rd now and anybody can walk in there usually. It's a good club though and it is doing well. I can buy two pints.a Martini & lemonade and a glass of orange and still get change out of a fiver. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great memories Beatle thanks for posting Back in the 1970s My Grandad used to take me there on a Sunday lunchtime - pop & crisps while he (along with loads of other steelworkers) played bingo although they called it 'tombola' - it was certainly quiet during that !

There are probably lots of omissions and duplications please add any corrections and contributions at the end of the list and we will copy them into the list with an acknowledgment. If any of the following should not be on the list the fault is mine alone - please let me know.
