Sunderland's social clubs are not just a place for a quick pint. They are a hive of activity
00:06
and they host a huge range of events as these Echo Archive scenes show. Vicky Davis was
00:14
bidding to set a new world record for a Bokwa Marathon, the dance fitness craze, at the
00:20
Nissan Sports and Social Club in 2011. There was live entertainment at Broadway Club and
00:27
Antwerp Tempest in 2010. Join us at the Leagueshore at Farringdon Club in 2009 and for the annual
00:35
Easter Fancy Dress competition at the same club in 2007. Anyone for Snooker? The table
00:43
was ready at the Dubmeyer in 2007. Here's some pensioners from Blackwell tucking into
00:50
a tasty lunch at their annual party at the Whitehouse Club in 2003. Get ready to break
00:58
off at the Millview Club in 2003. And let's catch up with the locals at the Ivyleaf in
01:04
1995, Pennywell in 1985 and Vaux in 1975. Some of the clubs are still with us, others
01:14
have folded. So the next time you are thinking of heading out into the city, why not get
01:21
down the club?
