Roy & Jean Berridge

On June 21^st 1999, Sam Smith’s brewery decided to close Brierley Social club for a major refurbishment. The club reopened on 7 December that year under the tenancy of Roy and Jean who had previously been the steward and stewardess of the Top club  in South Hiendley. Roy and Jean provided the lifeline that the club needed as membership rose and ex patriots of the club started using the establishment once again. On 6 December 1999, Roy and Jean, after eight successful years at the club retired to Shafton and the Brewery decided to hand over the management of the club to Joe Minnock and his partner Lynn. Joe had worked for Roy and Jean as bar manager so it seemed the ideal choice.
