And although you can’t enjoy the club scene at the moment, it will be back when the pandemic is over.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy memories of special social club moments from years gone by.
We have 9 pictures from the Shields Gazette archives of social clubs across the borough. They show events such as a fundraising event and a dressing up event for children.
But why not take a look for yourself in this flashback feature on the places we love.

It is 17 years since this photo was taken at the Brigham and Cowan Social Fund and it shows a memorial fundraiser with Marty Walsh, Arthur Robson and Bob Growcott all in the picture. Can you tell us more? Photo: IB
