No, I think that's right.

They changed the name when they moved to their new building.

Don't know when that was. Presumably in the sixties.

Before my time.

I can remember going to dances at St Andrews at the bottom of Kay street on Saturday nights in the late 50s early 60s, the stare attraction was the Rockets skiffle group, Gordon Holmes and Jack Groves were two of the members

I went to those dances too.
As for The Rockets - I knew them all - Frank Isherwood 'played' the tea chest - you may know him because in recent years he worked some evenings behind the bar at the Stop and Rest.
Jack Groves was my childhood sweetheart.

Forgot about Frank Margaret, he's a good mate of mine, we always had a good drink in the Stop on his night off and on the Stop ride outs. Jack used to pop in Ossy Con on a regular basis on a Friday night, but ain't seen him for lately as I obviously unable to frequent the Con these days
