This photograph is of my mother and eldest sister who were the cloakroom attendants at the Fiesta for a number of years. Because they were staff it allowed me free entry to the club as their guest on many occasions. The Lipthorpe brothers brought a mecca of entertainment to our area for which I and many other patrons were truly grateful. Sadly now gone but magic memories will always remain.
