Requests and Appeals
A section devoted to special requests and appeals for help and information.
Information needed from Females!
Ruth at Club Historians would love to hear from any women out there who work or have worked in the clubs. You might have been a barmaid, a cleaner, served on the committee, maybe even one of those naughty club strippers? I would also like to hear from any women who attended any male strippers nights down their local club. The information is for a book I am writing about clubs. You can remain anonymous, or not, as you like. You can contact me on rcherry3@yahoo.com or through the Contact page.
Looking forward to hearing from you ladies!

Ann Garrett - Memories of Coventry - Request for Information
Dear Readers
Anyone out there remember the Stanton Club in Coventry or The Transport Club on Cambridge Street also in Coventry?
Ann Garratt got in touch with Club Historians recently with a request which I am passing on here.
Hi!
I’m writing a memoir about coming to Coventry from Ireland in the late 50’s. One of the most enjoyable times we had in the early sixties was the outings we used to go on, organized by the Transport Club on Cambridge Street, and the Stanton Club on the Stoney Stanton Road.
We would all go off to Skegness, or Whipsnade Park or Drayton Manor Park. I would be interested to hear if you have any material relating to these events or the Xmas parties that used to be organised for us. My memories although pleasant are sketchy and I would be interested in anyone’s recollections.
Thanks!
Ann Garratt
Please contact her if you have any memories or information to share on annmgarratt@yahoo.co.uk
Cheers!

June Fleetwood would like help with researching her family history, especially her fiddle-playing, tap dancing grandfather Tom RAINBOW. Does anybody recall hearing about him through their grandparents? Or remember his stage name?
They performed on the Leicester club circuit including the Bond Street Working Man’s Club. June wishes she could ‘just wave a magic wand sometimes when I am researching my family history!’ That might not happen but Club Historians can perhaps work some of its own particular brand of magic and help out June.
Please contact Ruth through the site and she will forward messages to June.
Thanks!!
