That's right, John. The Harmonic is sadly long gone, as is the Liberal Club. We now have a Working Men's Club, the Con Club, Cricket Club, Free Gardeners and the Sports and Social Club (formerly the British Legion). As far as I am aware there has never been a Labour club in Rishton.
We chose the Conservative Club primarily because it is a good venue and near to where most of the people who will be affected live. The management are very accommodating and to be honest the political aspect of it doesn't really come into it as the club isn't really like that any more.
Added to that, whether you are Labour, Conservative or other the money all spends the same over the bar....
