Everyone welcome, come and have a drink and a chat with all the old (and not so old) reprobates. The club is situated just around the corner from St James Park about 500yds from Eldon Sq.

Here’s a few more from the “bash”
I saw Geordie Collis on Saturday night, And it was 50 years ago when I first met him at Smiles For Miles on the Newcastle Quayside I was delighted to meet him after all those years, Happy long gone days Eh, Old MK 5 AEC,S & Atkis, Regards Larry.
I still have a few pics to post but these are the last for the old year.
I can remember Geordie Foster when he parked his wagons at Armstrongs yard (prestwick). He had a green Scania and a Blue Volvo then i think he changed it to green i think his brother Davie drove the Volvo?
Spot on Brian Geo got the Scania brand new, Him a Davey did some of the work out of Domestos in those happy long gone days when haulage work could make a good living for owner drivers like myself, Regards Larry.
Yes i can remember the domestos job. Armstongs would do some loads for Geordie. very hard on the sheets!
Aye all bloody hard work in those good old days, Mind you If my mems is right there was allways MT,S To bring back, even worese to carry than the fullens, Regards Larry.
Hullo Kevmac47,
What a great lot of Photos of all those old Codgers. The only one I knew by name was Kris Kristiansen. I would never have recognised him. Mind you it must be at lease a quarter of a century since I last saw him. I looks as if you all had a good time though.
Cheers, Archie. Pickering. North Yorkshire.
