If there is any further info about the Progress junction club I’d be very interested to know. My grandparents lived at Progress Junction and my dad grew up there. My grandfather Jack Oates (John Oates) was a miner working on the Globe and a pianist …so I’d be most interested to know anything more about the clubs. I suspect he might have played there. Thanks.

Heather Newby thanks Heather. I have one picture of him playing a piano but it was likely later on, after his accident when he was living in reefton and running the milkbar/library on the Buller road.
