Wednesday’s downpour in Stoke Newington was out of this world. Those of you who were in the neighbourhood will know just how much water came down that day.

We’ve found what appear to be the minutes of the very first committee meeting of the Mildmay Radical Club on 10th June 1888. High up in the attic, covered in a thick layer of dirt, were dozens of notebooks documenting the life of the club in its early years. President Tom Jones, and committee […]
Our young snooker star John Donovan is doing the club proud. Here he is winning a recent tournament at the Fareham club. John is now top of the rankings on the CueStars ‘silver’ tour – set to take his place on the prestigious gold tour next season. Earlier in the year he took part in […]
