Now for another couple of torments. Two other quite obscure type evening venues. Anyone remember the Blue Haven in Alfred Road, and the Leasowe Tennis Club in Reeds Lane?

Was Leasowe Tennis Club in Reeds Lane next to Leasowe train station?
Went there once with my wife,asked at the entrance if there were many people in, told yes, paid the money and went in, thought I saw some others but it turned out to be our reflections in the very large mirrors that were on every wall(darkish room)and nobody else there.
Got my money back and went to Moretob Football Club (which later became the Arrowebrooke Social Club.
Clubs I remember in Moreton were
Apollo
The Haig in Haig Avenue (not sure of spelling0
Arrowebrook
British Legion
Sacred Heart

Yes it was. My maternal grandparents were members.

Sunday night was a great night at the Haig. All the artists who were on would be doing an early spot en route to the big Liverpool clubs like the Wooky Hollow or the Shakespeare.

Crikey! the balcony. Yep, you went up some very steep stairs and the ceiling was like canvas sheets billowing down, just above your head. Don't remember the Prowlers though.
