I joined the New Era Youth Club when it first opened in 1969 (At least, I [think that was the year). I was on the student committee and helped organize a concert by the Spinners Folk Group. We also visited the farm up in Cumbria that was owned by the club. I can't remember the name, but it may have been Hallbeck or something like that. I'm just not sure. It was a wonderful youth club back then, a great place for young people to hang out. There was never any trouble and it didn't have a bad reputation. In fact, to this day, I often refer to it as a shining example of what a youth club SHOULD be like, so I'm sorry to read in other posts that it ended up having a bad reputation. What went wrong?
