And although you can’t enjoy the club scene at the moment, it will be back when the pandemic is over.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy memories of special social club moments from years gone by.
We have 9 pictures from the Hartlepool Mail archives of social clubs across Hartlepool and East Durham. They show events such as a flower show, a fundraising campaign and a talent show.
But why not take a look for yourself in this flashback feature on the places we love.
