Blackball Workingmen's Club

Blackball Workingmen's Club

The Blackball Workingmen's Club in 2008.

More than 50 years after its formation, the Blackball WMC acts as a de facto community centre, and in 2008 it hosted meetings to celebrate the centenary of the 1908 Blackball Miners Strike. Note that the title still includes MSA – Mutual Society of Arts – although the reason for this has long since been forgotten.
