Went to the Navada dancing on a Saturday night. Soft drinks on sale only, but still had a fab time in the 1960s'. Saw The Love Affair there. You probably will not believe this but we uses to do The Conga, Hokie Koky and The March of the Mods before the final whistle went and we all had to go home. Luckily Moor Lane was quite close so we had time to run for the last bus (11pm) wow what a late night.
The last pic is of Ron Stuart who played the organ during the breaks for traditional skating dances such as the Glide Waltz and the Ten Step in Two circles. I worked there from Jan 1973 until Sept 1974 with Bob Yates, Joe Donnelan Mike Walsh and others. Happy days! Where are they now? Brian H
No. I remember him. I joined just after he left . He had a mate who also worked there just before me. Can't remember his name. He was quite short with dark hair.

1972- 1975 Had some great memories at the Navada. Wednesday night was family night. Never missed a Wednesday night, my Dad would take me. Just loved this place./Julia
1974 working in Glazebury spent many friday and saturday nights at Nevada. Never could roller skate. Also remember a Julia who spent many evenings at Nevada. Happy times.
Went there with Gordon Stansfield every Saturday morning for a couple of years around 1970. Couldn't dance. Still can't. But loved the races. A few sharp elbows !!
I remember going on Friday nights 1976 till around 1981. Amazing place. I loved the Spotlight part at the end of the night. Sometimes got chosen to carry the tray of prizes with a male member of staff. The couple the spotlight landed on at the end of the song chose a prize from the tray. Music was fab. Always remember skating to Dancing Queen by Abba. Wonderful memories. So sad the building burned down. The wood floor and facilities were fabulous. Lovely area to put on your boots, I remember red velvety seats and nice carpeted areas. There was a bar upstairs. Wish I could go back in time to experience it once more.
