Plans are in the pipeline to extend Stretton Social Club following an upsurge in membership thanks to a growing number of housing developments and a refurbishment.
The building, erected in 1946 and originally named Stretton Labour Club, was rebuilt in 1951 following a storm and named Stretton Social Club.
Due to its popularity the Beech Lane club was extended in 1967, incorporating a new lounge/function room, toilets, office, kitchen and store.
The club committee recently organised a refurbishment of the bar area which has attracted a greater number of residents to apply for membership.
The club committee now aim to incorporate a separate adult games area. The premises need an increase in toilet facilities, including a disabled toilet, a larger kitchen and store.
