I think it was 1969 when we went to the wheel and stopped till finish then went on to a coffee bar early am, and when Nottingham Forest played at Preston we went over to Blackpool for the Mecca and had a weekend we enjoyed, but when did the Weekenders start up the friday to Sunday, i know we went over to Skeggy in the start up, perhaps Cleethorpes was before this one, all in all good memories of great weekends of meeting people on a annual basis, but be interestd to hear your feedback, Regards Mall
