Well bully or you Graham, a few years ago....so that was before you sold you constituents out for the bright lights of Westminster. Good of you to take your snout out of the trough to reply to this, however it would be nice to see you responding to the thread regarding yourself.

This club used to be one of my dad's favourites and I think my cousins John and Bernard Lord used to go there. How sad it has to close

Don't be silly BG, you should know Graham by now, never answer questions that might incriminate yourself, that is until around March or April 2014, if he still has a seat to park his bum that is

3. The increased costs of heating, lighting, rates etc
4. The smoking ban.
5. The lack of appeal of working mens clubs to young people.
6. Cheap supermarket alcohol.

Each of the above has been an extra nail in the coffin not just of WMCs, but also many local pubs.

How sad. I have many happy memories of that place. especially the Children's Christmas Party and the trip to Blackpool in the summer (Acrylic-Senior was a member for most of his adult life).

Spot on with the six reasons Gynn, particularly the smoking ban.
