Sale Locarno

A Memory of Sale.

I will always remember going to Sale Lido for the dancing. The Manager was called Ronald.B. Bloxham, he had a Van Dyke beard and he encouraged the lads to request a dance with a girl, and chat them up. It became the Locarno Ballroom later. We used to go to the local cinema called the Savoy.

The Locarno was one of my haunts on a Saturday nights way back in 1955/59

My friends and I would spend Saturday afternoon preparing for our big night out

The boys would not be allowed in without a tie

They would stand at one side of the room and the girls at the other side

We would wait for one to come over and ask for a dance

At the end of the night my friends and I would run for the last bus home and be busy chatting about our evening and who had the best looking partners

Happy days!
