Hi Jo I moved from York to Washington New Town, with my husband, in 1960, and started work in 1963. There used be many Working Men's Clubs in the area, I worked for Fair World Theatrical Agency. Part of my job was to invoice for Acts, eg, singers, dancers comedians etc., which we booked to do turns in the different Clubs, one of which was, 'Sunderland Boilermakers Club'. I remember, 'Wallsend Labour Club' , 'Birtley Rex' and 'The Sands Club', Whitley Bay (a night club) we booked Acts into night clubs too. 'Little and Large' were one of the Acts just starting out then. Noreen York UK Many thanks for the info.I too had boilermaker ancestors, originally from Dagenham, Essex, with 2 children born in Sunderland, then the rest born in Woolston. So now I know who he probably worked for. cheers Jo Martin ______________________________
