I left the UK in 1974 and I think it was called the Golden Palms if I'm not mistaken. I loved going to the Cav we had great Saturday nights out there. Last stop was the Wine Lodge then on to the Cav. I was sorry when it got burnt down, we were there on the Sunday night and my friend called me at work on the Monday to say it had burnt. fond memories.
