be fairly sure they have had some effect !!!!!!

History
Started
in 1959 in a
wooden shack and
originally called the Humberstone Social Club, by 1964 the club had moved to
a purpose-built building on the new Netherhall estate.
The "Scrappy Valley", as it is
fondly known, developed into one of the major clubs in the Midlands, with
reputedly one of the largest stages, which have, over the years, attracted
such well known names as Eric Bristow, Norman Vaughan, Bernard Manning, The
Krankies, Billy J Kramer, Englebert Humperdinck and the Barron Knights among
many other lesser known live entertainment acts.
As recently as 1997 the club won
the prestigious "Best in the Country award" presented by the Club Mirror
with the judges describing the club as a "vital lifeline to the community it
serves"
At present
the Club is involved in a rolling program of renovations and renewals to
enable it to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
