Preface – A Brief Outline of spiders

(OF WHAT WE STAND FOR, AND WHAT WE JUST CAN’T STAND)

SPIDERS CLUB STARTED IN 1979, IT IS PRIVATELY OWNED BY A HULL COUPLE AND IS TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY BANK OR BREWERY TIES. IT HAS BEEN RUN BY THE SAME PEOPLE SINCE IT FIRST OPENED, DURING THIS TIME IT HAS ALWAYS, AND ALWAYS WILL HAVE AN ANTI DANCE THEME IN ITS MUSIC POLICY. WE ONLY PLAY MUSIC BY TALENTED ARTISTES WHO SING, PLAY AND WRITE INNOVATIVE MUSIC. OUR DRINKS POLICY IS STRAIGHT FORWARD, WE MAKE A SMALL % PROFIT ON ALL DRINKS SOLD, ALCOHOLIC OR NOT. WE DO NOT DO SPECIAL OFFERS ON SELECTED DRINKS THAT ARE NEAR TO SELL BY DATE, OR CAN BE BOUGHT FOR A SMALL PRICE BECAUSE THEY ARE AN UNPOPULAR BRAND. WE NEVER ADVERTISE WITH BILL POSTERS WHICH DEFACE OUR CITY’S TREES AND BUILDINGS, YOU WILL THEREFORE RARELY SEE AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR SPIDERS, WE HAVE ALWAYS RELIED ON WORD OF MOUTH AND WILL ALWAYS DO SO. OUR SOUL AIM IS TO GIVE ALL OUR MEMBERS A FAIR DEAL, IE, A REASONABLE DOOR CHARGE, LOW PRICED DRINKS THROUGHOUT, GOOD MUSIC TO LISTEN TO, IN A GENUINE FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE. THE CLUB HAS PLAYED THE MUSIC OF PUNK, NEW ROMANTIC, NEW WAVE, ROCKABILLY, PSYCHEDELIA, GOTH, GRUNGE AND METAL. WE NEVER PLAY CHEESY MUSIC, SO IF YOU ARE INTO BOY OR GIRL BANDS, SPIDERS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU. TRENDY CLOTHES ARE ALSO OUT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE OF A SPORTY NATURE, JEANS AND T-SHIRTS WILL DO NICELY! WE WANT EVERY ONE WHO COMES TO SPIDERS TO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE, WE SHOW RESPECT AND EXPECT IT BACK IN RETURN. WE DO NOT THEREFORE SUFFER FOOLS GLADLY. SPIDERS IS A MEMBERSHIP CLUB, WE CHARGE A FEE OF £1-00 FOR A 5 YEAR PERIOD. ALL OF WHICH IS DONATED TO THE HULL BRANCH OF THE R.S.P.C.A. THIS CAN BE CORROBORATED BY LYNN CLARK, MANAGER OF THE HULL BRANCH.
