Hi,
I would like to use one of these pictures in our temporary exhibition about LGBT history. Would it be possible to get hold of a copy?

I was a member way back in the 60s also an extra in Killing of sister George along with other members of the club. Brings back fond memories.

I was a member of the club in the days of 1974. I was a very young 19 and probably one of the youngest at that time to show up so late! I remember Gina and Smithy well. They knew my g/f better as she had been going there for years. I was always a little different of dress and used to get strange looks as though belonged in the fag-hag clubs like Chaguaramus & Roxy. I thought this was a gay site?

these old pictures look fabulous almost as if they are very carefully recreated for some forthcoming Sarah Waters production. I know that a lot of people regard George [and the men's equivalent Boys in the Band] really hateful but they were part of our past and remembering the past is a way of thinking about the future

Love the idea about writing about Herbert Chapman – should be an interesting bit of writing as I’m a life-long Spurs supporter! Great idea though. I’ve been producing a new Wallace and Gromit TV show for the last year and they are hard task masters and I haven’t had much time lately. After November 3rd I aim to start writing loads – really looking forward to it.

I love this site and it would be great to see some new stuff – nothing new since July! How about something on the football clubs of London? Must be some great stories there. Herbert Chapman’s transformation of Arsenal; Sugar and Spurs; Charlton’s return to the Valley; Millwall’s hooligan problems; etc, etc
