Guest Scobie Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Hi Sue - somewhere back home in Lincolnshire (23000 miles away) I should still have the same pink membership card from the opening night number 14, thats if dear old mom has'nt binned it grrrrrr. I know you say that yours is a ladies card being pink but I seem to remember that that was the only colour they had that night, I might be wrong but mine was pink & I am definately not a lady ! Poke was with me that night so his should be an early number too if he's still got it. Late were you ?? scobie Uploaded images, can anyone get earlier than this?? Sue Edited April 4, 2009 by Scobie
grantdyche Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Had my card nicked from my car in 1990,broke my heart, We used to share a membership card,We would tear it in half and use the front and back for different people

Peter Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Here's mine 1975, it's been in a plastic wallet since. Though the middle is rather thin where its been folded. And this, the only original badge left , never sewn on anything. Edited April 6, 2009 by Peter
Guest familytree Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) this thread had me routing!... i had loads of membership cards because i would lose them all the time or as someone said we would rip them in half to get someone else in.. there were always people arriving asking if you had a spare membership so i would often rip it in two (wernt we kind to strangers!) anayway ive found my other halves one and thats pink, number 689 so you may be right about them all being pink on the first night?... his number is hand written, wonder what thats about? also found 'new york connection soul club'... which for those that dont know was the highland room dated 81/82 we have loads of memberships, one for samanthas too... ahhhhhhhh memories eh!

Mark Oliver Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Nice one Mark which Tommo would that be I remember 2 at the Casino ???? Leicester Tommo, who unfortunately is no longer with us.
Soulfulswifty Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 Yes Tommo, I,m from Leicester too used to travel up there with him and Mud , Eric, Danny amongst others I'm sure I have photos of me and him somewhere check out my Wigan Casino photos thread see if you recognise any others? Mark
Rich B Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Morning chaps, Judging by the numbers on some of the cards there are some old buggers out there! Scanning and the like totally beyond me (I'll get someone to do it at work tomorrow!) my number is "Jun 1416" its blue and - fortunately - its a gents. With earlier reference to members not paying for drinks, mine say "MEMBERS NOTE - Non-Members MUST NOT Pay for drinks". I seem to remember by the time I got there I felt like a proper newcomer, and that everyone else already knew everything and everyone already. I always had an aversion to badges (I still do) and have never ever bought one, even if it came as part of the admission I gave it away without fail. And I still would! best, RB
Chris L Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I'll kick this one off with mine I got back in 79 I also still have a least six original patches in those plastic bags they used to come all in mint condition as I always bought two one for the bag (which I still have) and one to collect. A pal of mine has membership card number 007 from the opening night !!
Guest Matt Male Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Threw mine away years ago. I wonder if they ever kept a list of numbers and names? Probably too much to ask. Online somewhere there is a database where people have updated their numbers working towards completion I think.
dthedrug Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 HI WIGANITES.... This WIGAN CASINO MEMBERSHIP, Looks like an early one to my eyes, 73/74, but with the great JACKIE WILSON'S NAME SIGNED ON IT!? The name/ signature is slightly different from my one, but the Ebay seller says it's right, and I believe him, It sold last week for £75, i reckon he was mugged £75, think about it, original red membership card + JACKIE WILSON, it would look good if you had all the memberships with there variations, signed by:-WILSON, BARNS, LANCE, HUNT, LEVILE, BETTY WRIGHT, Jr WALKER AND DtheDRUG £75 WHAT A GIFT DAVE KIL
