Membership Card
Pips
1977

Stephen Slater sent us this picture of the membership card wallet he was given for Pips... he remembers, "This is a picture of the holder of your pips card which you needed to get in. You had your photo taken in a little room to the left as you went in."

“One thing I loved about Pips was the fact you could get chips and a burger while in there, either between the commercial and roxy room or near the sixies room. I loved the fact that you could go to another room if bored with the music. Anyone remember a TISWAS night that was held there, I remember getting pelted with fish, loads of fun!”
