Guest Scobie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Hi Sue - somewhere back home in Lincolnshire (23000 miles away) I should still have the same pink membership card from the opening night number 14, thats if dear old mom has'nt binned it grrrrrr. I know you say that yours is a ladies card being pink but I seem to remember that that was the only colour they had that night, I might be wrong but mine was pink & I am definately not a lady ! Poke was with me that night so his should be an early number too if he's still got it. Late were you ?? scobie Uploaded images, can anyone get earlier than this??

Peter Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Here's mine 1975, it's been in a plastic wallet since. Though the middle is rather thin where its been folded. And this, the only original badge left , never sewn on anything. Edited April 6, 2009 by Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest familytree Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) this thread had me routing!... i had loads of membership cards because i would lose them all the time or as someone said we would rip them in half to get someone else in.. there were always people arriving asking if you had a spare membership so i would often rip it in two (wernt we kind to strangers!) anayway ive found my other halves one and thats pink, number 689 so you may be right about them all being pink on the first night?... his number is hand written, wonder what thats about? also found 'new york connection soul club'... which for those that dont know was the highland room dated 81/82 we have loads of memberships, one for samanthas too... ahhhhhhhh memories eh!

Rich B Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Morning chaps, Judging by the numbers on some of the cards there are some old buggers out there! Scanning and the like totally beyond me (I'll get someone to do it at work tomorrow!) my number is "Jun 1416" its blue and - fortunately - its a gents. With earlier reference to members not paying for drinks, mine say "MEMBERS NOTE - Non-Members MUST NOT Pay for drinks". I seem to remember by the time I got there I felt like a proper newcomer, and that everyone else already knew everything and everyone already. I always had an aversion to badges (I still do) and have never ever bought one, even if it came as part of the admission I gave it away without fail. And I still would! best, RB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Threw mine away years ago. I wonder if they ever kept a list of numbers and names? Probably too much to ask. Online somewhere there is a database where people have updated their numbers working towards completion I think. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
dthedrug Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 HI WIGANITES.... This WIGAN CASINO MEMBERSHIP, Looks like an early one to my eyes, 73/74, but with the great JACKIE WILSON'S NAME SIGNED ON IT!? The name/ signature is slightly different from my one, but the Ebay seller says it's right, and I believe him, It sold last week for £75, i reckon he was mugged £75, think about it, original red membership card + JACKIE WILSON, it would look good if you had all the memberships with there variations, signed by:-WILSON, BARNS, LANCE, HUNT, LEVILE, BETTY WRIGHT, Jr WALKER AND DtheDRUG £75 WHAT A GIFT DAVE KIL Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
