Clubs with websites

The list of clubs with their own websites has just been updated.

The number we've found so far is now over 170....!!! A short time ago there was a mere handful.

A website has to a great asset for every club - available to members, affiliates and the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - your very own permanent online brochure. All this at a fraction of the cost of newspaper advertising.

If you need more info about how to get a website for your club drop us a line at Club Historians.

Help wanted!

A new entry on the Club Historians site is from June Fleetwood who would like help with researching her family history, especially her fiddle-playing, tap dancing grandfather Tom RAINBOW. Does anybody recall hearing about him through their grandparents? Or remember his stage name?

They performed on the Leicester Club circuit including the Bond Street Working Man’s Club. June wishes she could ‘just wave a magic wand sometimes when I am researching my family history!’ That might not happen but Club Historians can perhaps work some of its own particular brand of magic and help out June.

Please contact Ruth through the site and she will forward messages to June.

Thanks!!

An initiative from Rob at Parkhill Social Club in Firbeck sees an Evening of Clairvoyance and Mediumship on offer on Monday 7th June from 8.00 - 10.00pm.

Must admit it is certainly a change from the routine sort of "entertainment" we are used to.

My name was among the first confirmed for a ticket and at just a fiver it seems there's a good night to be had.

If you're in the Firbeck area - between Worksop, Doncaster and Rotherham - I'm told you can contact Rob for details. Contact info is on the club website.  PARKHILL SOCIAL CLOSED - JUNE 2011

Weds 19th May

A friend in Leics just sent a cutting from the local paper about the decline of clubs in the county- down from over 100 to 49. This sad tale repeated all over the country.... we all need to use our clubs more and spread the word of their facilities and community spirit.
