Nice to see the membership book as survived so well. I have recently discovered that my Grandfather Thomas Edward Wigley ran this club and at another time Hyde United Social Club, I'm sure there was another he was involved with... I will find out about that one. I wonder what the bar prices were Nancy...
After mentioning the bar prices I had to have a look ... In 1984 it was 66p a pint, and back in 1964 it was 8p a pint.
When Harold Wilson was elected in 1974
Suzi Quatro was at No.1 with Devil Gate Drive. Best film. The Godfather, Part II FA Cup Winners... Liverpool 3, Newcastle United 0 Petrol was 11.4p for leaded per litre. Beer was 15p for a pint of bitter. Cigarettes 30p for a pack of 20 Bread was 14.2p for a white sliced loaf. Milk was 5p a pint...
Nearly right Tom. I don't think litres had been inflicted upon us in 1974 so petrol would have been 51.8p per gallon, which MOST people would have thought of as 10 shillings and 4 pence per gallon - and SOME of us do still mentally convert prices in such a way!
