Here is a lovely reminder for those who went to the Con. The stage is different than I remember it, so maybe this photo is ....late 50's, very early 60's????

Re: Con club
The stage was higher as I remember, seemed like shoulder hight, dont remember those entry doors on each side, they look fairly modern. there were seats around the sides but no tables.

Re: Con club
yep from my day 63 stage was higher, also can't see the spinning ball in centre of ceiling on that pic, obviously did the room up fer my arrival.:D:D

Re: Con club
Yep, stage was higher and there were seats fixed around the walls. There were no tables and chairs there, as it would've got in the way of the "strollers" who walked round and round the outer perimeter of the dancefloor in an anti-clockwise direction (a strange custom, although I did the same at the time).
I reckon that photo must be from a more modern era. |
Re: Con club
That picture is taken after refurbishment in the 80s before it was sold, I actually watched them do it, I could even climb stairs in those days:D

Re: Con club
Endorse everyone's memory as above ... was just two exits at either side of the stage to get to the bar, which ran along the back.
Never been in when it looked like this ... think last time I was there was probably around 73, and original higher stage was still there then. Christmas and New Year's Eve were great nights ... you had to make sure you got tickets in advance or no go. |

We used to call this "The Accy Walk" - a fab excuse to walk round the dancers, eyeing up the talent. Tee hee. Arrgh, all us lasses would be dancing around our bags, then we too would do "the walk"! Hey, it wasnt just the guys who did the Accy Walk, eyeing up the woman!!!!! |

LOL Atarah, but if you were clever you walked in a clockwise direction ... good excuse for bumping into the talent. |
