Guest topcatnumpty1 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Wondered when someone would mention this great little club,it took over from Pele and Mouse,s first(??) venue --The Rugby Leaguer at Sharlston, I met my wife Rani there in Jan 1989 (but apart from that ,i have nothing but great memories of The Carlton and Hawkhills Club--turn down by the cake shop -off the main road!!).Chuddy,Mouse,Kev Jonno,Ron Pedley,Bruce Carter,Bub,Derek G,John B,Trev T,Sue Warwick,The Holmes,s,Big Sue Gilbert,Billy and Denise,Pat and Lynn Brady, and so many more.One of the best nights was Bub,s birthday--we organised a stripper who covered Bub in squirty cream(it was a big can!!) and a crate of Pils(lager,that is) -a great night,then there was the Xmas fancy dress nights---walking thru the Ghetto,s of Normy with me and Trevor Thomas wearing Pyjamas,Kev Jonno was a gangster(complete with inflateable suit--hard to get up when he fell in a puddle whilst under the influence!!!) I went back there with Trev a few years ago and had a look in the Functio room --and couldn,t believe how small it was!! Dave and Rose ,and Vince behind the bar and the famous 25 pence meat raffle,me getting dropped offby the side of the dual carriageway at Stourton by the York lot with a pint of Guinness most weeks,i had to take the glass back the following week.At the end it was the forerunner to The Wilton All nighters(which originally had just been tried for a few"late finish do,s). Great memories of a great little club(and the sessions at peoples houses afterward) once at Chuddy,s hose when Bub was reading one of the bairns a bednite story,next day Chuddy was informed that"A giant read me a story"!!!!!

A night especially " for people who love soul music , but also have a secret fetish for things like young ladies , pencil skirts , suspenders , stilletto heels , etc " ? I have to admit that I have a pencent for an attractive young filly with a trim ankle , but can I give coming along dressed in the pencil skirt , suspenders , and stilletto heels a miss ? I am a tad hesitant in wearing them , as I have not donned these items since 1975 , when I was arrested by the Old Bill for soliciting outside Wombwell British Legion , waiting to go in to a Vicars and Tarts evening . As for fetishes , ask Dewhirst about the chair suspended from the ceiling of his flat , that he " entertained " young ladies in I will bell you Tony .
