parsonxblade Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi every one My 1st post this, can anyone please settle a bet for me, when did the Pitsmoor WMC close, and did it ever re-open after the fire, did the Loco club close after the Pitsmoor or before? thanks in advance.

kingfisher Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Pitsmoor Club closed for thre last time on Monday 28th May 2001when drinks were pre war prices Does anyone know who the future is for the building at present they appear to be clearing the place out. Oh for the days when they were queuing to get a seat on exas eve and new years eve. I think the Loco club closed a while before the pitsmoor club did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky2 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I was a member of Pitsmoor Club for years, about 40years ago we would go there every Sunday lunch and then again Sunday night and odd nights in the week. What great days they were. They had all the top acts on there, I first saw Norman Collier there. what memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handypandy Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I went in some time after it had closed to do some boarding up after the junkies had been using the place. It was in a mess as they had broken up part of the roof to get in, so there was a lot of water damage. Other than that it was very eerie, like the Marie Celeste ! Lots of things left as they were when they closed the door for the last time. The snooker tables were still there (although covered in syringes) and in the lounge, still stood the Bechstein baby grand piano. I played drums there a few times with my mate John Turner on keyboards (where is he these days?) One of the regulars in the lounge was Rita May (ex club act and since a regular TV actress) I think she used to go in with her mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I was there on the final night it closed at 11pm and as the final bell went to close the clock fell off the wall narrowly missing someones head..Someone (perhaps the resident ghost) wasn't happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
