Re: Chance Brothers
Really interesting San.I've added it to my bookmarks.
I used to go to Chances Social Club back in the 60's and their football pitch was a beautiful level grass field perfect for us who liked to play the passing game.
Saw all the local groups.Kenny Lane and The BlueTones,Cyrius and The Planets.Tommy Ocean and The Pacifics.Am i making these up?
No i'm not.
Chances employed a lot of people and i look forward to delving into the web site a bit more.Thanks my Brummie mate.

Re: Chance Brothers
My pleasure Rob
I know there are many others who's families also worked there, wouldn't it be great to hear from them on here?
