I Remember...

I remember living in Shirebrook Miners Welfare for years with my parents Mick and Joan and having some fantastic times. Everybody seemed to get on with each other and it had a real community feel. I remember trying to watch TV whilst hearing the sound of the brass band rehearsals coming through from the rooms next door. This seems very basic but I had such a great time growing up in this club and I have never forgotten it. I just wish we could have stayed for a few more years but times have to change. I hope whoever else lived there after my family and I had as good a time as I did.
