Could always try the old trick of 'accidentally on purpose' spilling a drink on some victim's shirt... only a little though ... had to minimise the damage.

Not an option if you were a bloke, though. All very well bumping into the ladies accidentally on purpose, but if you genuinely accidently bumped into certain chaps, you'd end up with a knuckle buttie!

I had my Evening Wedding doo in the Ball room on the top floor when it was still the old Con Club - it was an amazing room - shame eh?

Sometimes it was accidental and you could not discern one direction from the other (Thwaites) - think I got a Glasgow Kiss, and it was my wife to be who helped me up from the floor.

A beautiful building. I will be doing a survey in the new year asking people in the local area what they think about the new plans for Accy Con Club and then passing it on to the owner whom i have contact with. If anyone wants a message passing on about what you think should be done then please post it here!

If you are doing a survey in the new year regarding the plans for the building. What are the plans then?. There must be some sort of a plan Or are they just waiting for Idea,s. It doesnt make sense to me.

Mog is correct, to give n opinion on the plans, first yeh need to be aware of what they are.

Have some very recent postings been deleted?

Or is there another thread ? Most pubs and clubs appear to burst into flames nowadays, I blame the smoking ban

There are plans, Im sorry I thought you may already know about the plans.
Here are the plans that were proposed in 2010 but yet still nothing has happened yet. The current conservative club owner of Woodgreen Developments told me the same plans as is posted in the following newspaper article.
Apparently the reason why it has not started yet is because planning permission has still not come through. But I want to dig deeper as it has been empty for around 10 years now. Take a look at this article from 2010.
Accrington Conservative Club ballroom faces demolition (From This Is Lancashire)

(They are planning on knocking down the rear of the building and building a large glass atrium with a gym and office spaces and a restaurant.
but I want peoples thoughts on this so I can pass it on to the owner)
Cheers

Can't see where any Planning Application has been submitted.

Got the impression money was tight for them to go ahead with this scheme.

Would be good to have an update, however.
