Beer runs out as city club bids sad farewell

Louisa Traynor, general manager of The Saltram, on Salisbury Road, in St Jude's, said she and her family had been 'blown away' by the outpouring of emotion from the community, after the closure was announced.

The social club was first established in 1901, and was previously saved by more than 50 members who came together to buy shares in order to keep their club open.

Recently, the committee revealed that they had decided to close the doors and put the club up for sale, with Tuesday being 'last orders!

Mrs Traynor has run the club since members took it over in 2010 and lives with husband, Graham, daughter Lacy-Dee and son Connor, in a connected property.

The family held a farewell party for members last Sunday, and the club was packed throughout the day with well-wishers.

Mrs Traynor said such was the reaction on Sunday that she had to close up early, well before 10pm, as they had run out of beer.
