This time last year, things were looking bleak for the Universal Club in Doxey Road. Redrow Homes had sent a notice saying it would not renew the club’s contract in January 2013 but would help it relocate.

 

Club members drafted in Stafford MP Jeremy Lefroy to help negotiate with Redrow Homes and the club is now hoping to buy the premises.

Paul Johnson, from the club, said: “There is still some work to do but we are hoping that it will go through very soon.”
