The Hythe Conservative Club in Portland Road will close its doors on Boxing Day, after nearly 70 years in the town.

Since 1943, the Hythe Conservative Club has been sited in premises in the High Street, Bank Street, the old Scout hut, in what is now the Waitrose car park, and its present location in Portland Road.

A decline in trade in recent years has meant they are unable to continue trading in Portland Road.

The decision to cease trading was made last month.

The club needs to sell all stock before it closes and members will be able to take advantage of cheap drinks on Boxing Day.

It will also be selling its tables, chairs, kitchen equipment, bar equipment, full size snooker table, snooker equipment, electronic tills and numerous other items.

If you would like to place a bid for any of the items please contact the club on 01303 267559.
