I thought there would be more dits to come, considering the amount of people that would have used the club ? _________________ Once a Bugler, always a Turtle !! |

If my experiences are anything to go by, the main problem is the mess we were in when we left there, we wouldn't be able (or willing) to remember half of what went on....  _________________ 'Never moon a werewolf'. |

What a den of iniquity the '53' Club was. That was why I would only visit it frequently and under protest!
The only person I knew to be thrown out of it by the management was Charles Hawtrey, the Carry On actor. What a pain in the rear he was. (I only know this from what friends have told me - not by personal experience!) |

I have a number of vague recollections from the 53. One particular occasion was after a Training Company 'cultural day' (in the early 80's) to somewhere in Belgium where we had gone on the instruction of the CSM (Mick Jones) to top up on hard core porn and have a few beers. Back in the UK after a long day on the pi$$ and despite OC’s Parade early the following morning some of us decided to carry on the shenanigans at the 53. I was apparently last seen with by boot in his CSM’s chest pulling on his tie.
Whilst on Parade the following morning, with the majority of Try Coy feeling the worst for wear, the CSM marched out of his office (in the same clothes as the previous day) halted in front of me, pointed to the boot print clearly displayed on his shirt and said “STAINES, I believe THIS belongs to YOU!”.
A pretty disappointing day out as I’d left my porn on the bus... _________________ Religion brings hope and comfort to millions in a world torn apart by Religion... |

Not strictly a "Dit" about the 53 Club (of which I have my own memories!) but relevant to a recent entry on the forum.
When resident at Zeebrugge House we were returning home at about 1.00 a.m. after an evening out, to find the aforementioned Charles Hawtrey - very drunk and past caring- tied to the front gate!!
We took him in and dosed him with black coffee until he rejoined the world and I sent him home in a taxi.
He was very vague about the circumstances that led to him being in this situation - but now I have a pretty good idea!! _________________ Jim Mason |

Anyone remember the two GD's coming into the 53 one with a lead and the other on all fours with a dog collar round his neck, one on the floor had 'DOG' written on his back. He was given an ashtray of slops to drink........all was fine till a jenny wren tripped over him and then kicked him. Guy holding the lead said 'Don't kick my f'/.,.ing dog and decked the Wren. (Al Blackshaw was there i think). _________________ Malc B |

I recently met the guy who took a dump in the WREN's handbag in the 53 club many moons ago. He did get a swift draft and it seems she followed him... needless to say, he was moved on once again as soon as draft figured out the faux pas _________________ http://www.royalmarinesbands.co.uk
