A historic Stafford club is keen to recruit new members.

Since opening its door in 1911, Stafford Constitutional Club has been a hub for community gatherings and social events.

Located on Lloyd Street, early members could enjoy facilities such as a bar, smoking room, reading room, card room, a lecture hall, a bowling green and tennis court.

Many of the features are still available to members and for hire.

Locals are invited to make use of the function room, snooker tables and skittle alley.

During World War I, a number of the club's members were killed while on active duty.

Their memory is commemorated by a Roll of Honour plaque.

In World War Two, the lecture hall was used by the Ministry of Food.

Historically associated with the Conservative party and open only to men, the club has certainly changed over the years, however today everyone is welcome.

Each month, members can enjoy craft sessions, coffee mornings, live music, bingo and quizzes.

There are also special events such as the Festive Fair on 6 December which promises to be a day of family fun with stalls, a tombola and the chance to meet Santa.

The club is always on the lookout for new members and people to step into committee roles.

Committee member Julie McKinnon said: "It's home from home for a lot of people, especially on a bingo night when the ladies and gentlemen come in, everybody knows everybody but they're always willing to welcome somebody in.

"It is a really friendly place.

"If you are on your own, it's a safe place to come.

"It is like a family.

"You want it to succeed because it's been here so long, you don't want to lose it."

Julie has high hopes that a new generation of members will help the club thrive and continue for many years to come.

Membership is just £15 per year.
