MEMBERS of Poulton's new Conservative Club now have a home to call their own.

The club in Breck Road -- a former rest home -- was officially opened during a day of celebrations (pictured left).

Visitors included Shire horses from the Blackburn-based Daniel Thwaites brewery which helped to pay for the building.

Regulars pooled resources and talents during the refurbishment programme.

The lease on their former base ran out earlier this year and it was decided to buy a building on a different site.
