I went to a function 2 years ago and it was fantastic, 4 really great young lads working the bar,…read moreso when I returned for a friends party a few weeks ago I had high hopes. Oh dear, what on earth has happened in the past few years!!! The floors were sticky, the beer was poor, the toilets were disgusting; but worst of all by far were the staff. The 20 something assistant manager seemed incapable of following simple commands was very rude and exceedingly unpleasant to my friends and I and just stared at us with her mouth agape, like a lemon. But the manager was something else, let's just say she certainly has the grotesque personality to match her appearance... She was even more unpleasant, batting off any complaints and shouting abuse at the staff to work harder and left the severely understaffed bar to struggle with a big queue of customers wanting to be served. When I went into the members room to see how busy they were, there were precisely 5 people there who she was busy playing cards with. Completely unacceptable in my book. I used to be a member here 15 years ago and it was fantastic, but now it is severely struggling, my friends who used to go there have said the current manager has steered them into the abyss and driven out all of the regulars with her unpleasantness! It seems a case of staff having their feet under the carpet and doing whatever they like because they are friends with the right people. A new manager seriously needs to be appointed, or the club will never be as great as it once was!!! I will certainly never return as long as I know those 2 work there.

You need a parking permit to park at the car park which is £1 for a year pass which you can get from the office as you walk just on the left. I have not attended any of the other groups but the room I am in is the main hall and is very big and would be large enough for a good sized party. I noticed to hire the room for an evening it is around £80 mon to fri and goes up to around £125 for a saturday evening. It has a small car park at the front but when it is busy it can be hard to get a spot as it is quite limited. It is always clean and welcoming.

And one drunken evening in Manchester watching The Orgy play we somehow managed to end up buying tickets for the new years eve party at the Old Yardelians rugby club in Shirley (Only 80 bloody miles away!). They put on a great evening,and everyone there had a great time bopping away and enjoying the lovely buffet that was laid on. A good mix of warm and cold food. Plenty of booze,food,music and good company,what's not to love? So,if come November time a bunch of beardy blokes in the Shirley area try to sell you a ticket,buy one,you won't regret it!!
