Used to go in there on I think Thursday nights when they had a bit of a disco (yeah I know) was never hugely successful but for me it was close enough to walk home. One particular evening Glenda Jackson split my newly purchased pint of beer as I was paying for them at the bar. She was very apologetic and insisted on buying two more even though only one was spilt. No idea why she was there.0

The South East London branch of the Musicians Union used the club for their monthly Sunday meetings / socials back in the day. I attended several of these during the exile years and used to look sadly out of the windows at the derelict Valley. I did several gigs at the club over the years and remember once arriving early one Saturday evening to set up. I rang the bell and the door was opened by Mr Mike Bailey, who seemed a really nice bloke. Fond memories of the place.0

I remember a packed meeting there in the mid 80s regarding the move to shitehurst. We had got there early and managed to get a table in a corner, but ended up standing on our chairs so we could see. I know Lennie Lawrence was there, but it was so noisy you couldn't hear him speak.0
