Most, if not all have been closed down in my area, was quite surprised to enter one of my old haunts in Astley on a 80s do and finding the place full of fit women. I can't wait for the Tamla Motown do next week.

Folk would drink in a mosque if it was cheap enough and the ale was right.

The Ellesmere ? 

That’s the one!!

Dunscar Conny club does well covering the B/X area.

The Roundhouse pub in Halliwell used to be the Halliwell Central Reform Club & ran coaches to Wanderers' away games in the late 70's.

Farnworth has a Labour Club and a Conny Club.

Mr McGreavy was running the coaches at the time I went on them & i'm still friends going back to then, with a couple of his sons ( T & P ), seeing them a couple of times last season.

One of his lads copped for a brick through the window coming back from Stoke iirc, can't remember which one though. 

Little lever still has a conny club which is alright to be fair. Labour club is now hardy hall and I think I went in once when it was the Labour club for a party of some description 

round here we’ve a Labour club and a legion but no conny club. Legion is ok but haven’t been and no intention of going in the Labour club.

Atherton had a Labour Club, Liberal Club, Consevative Club and the Soldiers and Sailors Club, only the Conservative Club left now, the Labour  Club is a Holts house and the Liberal Club is being turned into flats

Hag Fold had a Working Men's Club, a good Monday night out that in 72 in your teens.

Bloody hell Mick, I'd forgot about the Workingmens and it was part of my growing up

Leigh Socialist Club, aka The Bomb and Dagger, i think it shut down before my time.

I remember going to the Conny club in Adlington when we came up visiting relatives , my Dad and uncle were meant to take me to Port Vale at Burnden in 1986 , but got involved in a card school , so they fobbed me off with a total stranger who my uncle knew . This chap had only nipped in for a pint before the game and got lumbered with me , but he was sound and explained all the songs for me , oh and we won 3-0.

Imagine that these days. Fucking hell, anyone who takes someone else's kid to a game is; apparently, a nonce these days. Which is a great shame really.

 

I pretty much grew up in dunscar con club and played snooker in the conny club league so I've seen em all in Bolton. 

Some great characters in em but most of em are shit holes.

Ellesmere , Morris Green. I used to call in on my way home from the night matches last season and intended making myself a member but thanks to Krooked Ken destroying the season never got round to it. I'll call in on Monday night.

They have a good social side and run some cheap day trips. Me and Mrs. Fogarty have been on a few and always come home bladdered.

Once got roped into playing in a chess match there iirc. A neighbour needed a spare player, and upon hearing I played, I was conscripted.

Weird, never been in before nor since.

Going into Astley Labour Club and seeing the committee in a small back room because my membership had elapsed, like being interrogated by the gestapo with a torch shone in my face.

Was going to say it can’t have been long since it closed because we used to have our junior football presentations there. Then remembered that was probably 20 years ago.
