Weary night owls can rejuvenate themselves for the journey home in the gymnasium which forms part of the extensions opened last night at the Top Ten night club in Northgate, Huddersfield. Memories of his boxing career came back to the Mayor (Aid, Jack Sykes). Who officially opened the extensions, as he was shown round the gym by club owner Mr Joe Marsden.
“I couldn’t resist having a go at the punch bag. It reminded me of my training days many years ago,” said Ald Sykes. Ex-policeman Mr Tommy Sharrocks a former British police boxing champion runs a keep fit class at the club gym which is equipped with rowing machines, the punch bag and chest expanders, and guests may also use the equipment to tone up after their evening’s entertainment. Opening the extensions which also include a large new room for gaming, Ald Sykes said that they gave added comfort and refinement to an already successful night club. The evening’s cabaret was provided by Dan Dailey, an Australian vocalist who topped the poll on two successive weeks in the “Opportunity Knocks” television show last month and has just signed a seven year contract for films and records with united Artists and comedienne vocalist Dixie Lee.
