I HAD some sad feelings when I read about the closure of the Polish Ex-Servicemen's Club in Blackburn (LET, January 6).

My husband and I held our silver wedding party there in 1985 and we used to go there regularly on Saturday evenings and had many a meal there. The people were so friendly.

It is a shame it has to close, but I suppose younger people like different entertainment these days.
