THE CHALET - BROUGHTY FERRY



The Chalet Roadhouse, to give it its full name, opened way back in the 30's.
Located along the waterfront area of Broughty Ferry, it has always been a place to go to see bands and go dancing.
On it's opening night on 16 Nov 1933, the band entertaining was Bobby Clark And His London Band.
Forward-wind a few decades and here's an ad for a do at the Chalet for the Grove FP Hockey Club.
The dance, held on 11th April 1970, featured the resident band and a group called The Three Of Clubs.
Later in the mid 70's, the place was transformed into the Sands discotheque, and the dancing continued.
