Was a regular there in 66/67. Could get a bit lively at times. Always best to stay out of the way of certain individuals!

It was in '67 that I took a wrong turn in Manchester and ended up in Saskatchewan So I missed most of the fun. But I do remember that I saw news of JFK's assassination on the tv there while I was playing snooker ... it almost put me off my game.
