Publisher's Synopsis
Not even her Maj' could resist visiting one of the city's numerous venues in their ß 70s heyday! She toured Coventry Working Men's Club and then, not to be outdone, Princess Margaret was spotted in Willenhall Social. No wonder Coventry was called the Queen of Clubs city! These amazing venues provided year-round recreation with the city's games league growing to become the largest in the country. A Lime Tree Social club grandad hit the national headlines for defeating then world snooker champion Steve Davis and Radford Social had a 'supergran' darts ace! Children counted down the days until the Christmas parties and pantos whilst the club trip was underlined in everyone's diary. Everything stopped for the bingo and regular raffles raised tens of thousands for charity. There was entertainment galore in luxurious concert rooms with top local and international acts.
