Andy - yes we all went to clubs other than our own, although the geography varies. Those of us who were Bournemouth based seldom went further east than Southampton, but were regular visitors to Dorchester, Yeovil and even Exeter. Bournemouth (i.e. the Wessex) was, I think, the only club that belonged to both SCOFF and the South West's version. Meetings of the latter were held at Halsway (under the auspices of Bill Rutter) and rtegular attenders were the Journeymen from exeter, the Songwainers from Cheltenham, Ted Poole from Swindon, the Yetties from Yeovil (club) and the Biddles from Bournemouth.
