    Is the transport club at the wheatsheaf or Holmeside or is there 2 ? me and me dad with uncle used to do discos in the mid 1980's the jubilee and workmans' clubs in southwick, both of the above clubs and the pennywell social club ! that was dodgy, the doorman said " got a flick knife? knuckle duster? baseball bat we said no and he said well take yer pick you will need them ! me dad started work at 6 am the next day, but had to pick the gear up in a clapped out transit van at 2 am, he went mad and finished doing the discos that night/morning, but it was a laugh. My mother saw Bobby Thompson at the bingo in the early 1980's, how I would have loved to have seen him on stage. in the 1970's me ganny used to get pissed in the central then come to our house, and me mother could not stand drunks !
