Name: Andrew Coe Location: Hull Message: I remember with great fondness games of snooker every Friday night at The Stute (sometimes 5 on each team on one table) when I was 12 or 13 years of age. I really loved the tuck shop, fantastic mix up for 10p. I'm sure I wouldn't get many sweets for 10p these days! I now live up in Hull and make only brief visits to Earl Shilton to visit my Mum and Dad with my wife and two children. This is what I'm up to these days - www.yo-yo-indie.com (a little bit of a step up from Dj'ing at the Cricket club on a Saturday night, but hey we all start some where) ------------------------------------ Note from Webmaster : the web link in this submission is none active but genuine.

Name: Rosemary Coe Location: Earl Shilton Message: My maternal grandparents lived in Tubb Row on Station Road, and our weekly visit on Saturdays always included a walk up to The Hollow to Wightman's grocery shop. My enduring memory on passing The Stute was the emergence of the football team, kitted up and on their way to play at the cricket ground in Keats Lane. The sound of their studs thundering down the concrete steps, and on the pavement, was deafening to a small child, and the smell of Wintergreen lingered on the air long after the team had passed by! I was always fascinated by the carved names, running around the base of the building, and later in my life, came to realize who these people were. Many of them were manufacturers, and great benefactors to the village. Well done Brannon, the site is excellent. You are a great asset, not only to the Stute, but also to the village. |

Name: Mac Stowe Location: Barwell Message: Thanks to the perseverance of your committee members I have been privileged to undertake the planning and overseeing of the latest upgrading of the STUTE. The continued investment in the social activities available at the STUTE need to be encouraged and applauded. During my short association with you I have seen many facets of the people involved either as members or as 'managers'. Please continue the development and investment as your contribution to the community is now and in the future really important. Please finalise the current revamp while the iron is hot, I will continue my support where and when required. Your members also need your support and encouragement. Best wishes for your future. Mac Stowe. |

Name: John Iddon Location: Earl Shilton Social Institute (Steward) Message: I love the site, and knowing the hard work and effort Brannon puts into it, So having a guest book gives people the chance to say well done Brannon, it is much appreciated so well done Brannon. As for the site, the depth is great with something for all our members and allows for visitors to the site to get a feel for what we are all about. Like being able to take a tour of the building and get panaramic views of rooms. See how the snooker competitions unfold, find out about members who went onto bigger things in the World IE Norman Dagley (World Billiard Champion) see the ladies doing the fitness classes or just play a game or two. Just pop in and come and take a look in person ;- |

Name: Julia Location: Earl Shilton Message: I think the website is very good. it shows information, plans and photographs of the facilities and some of the activities. A comprehensive report on a recent Snooker tournament along with reports and photographs of the winners. It has a Local history section relating to the early days of the Stute, again with manuscripts reproduced, personal stories and lots of photos. The fact that the site has been put together and is still being developed by an old codger is amazing, it goes to prove that some people are never too old to learn and that they can and do share information and support our community. well done that man!!!!!! |
