An amateur film produced by Bryan McIvor that predominantly features men playing snooker, darts, dominoes and possibly poker or similar card games in a special room inside the Billingham Low Grange Club on Low Grange Avenue in the town. Women do not appear to be allowed in this room, but do feature in another where they sit with the men chatting over pints of beer while a musician plays an electronic piano nearby.
Two men look through a book pointing out sections in it while talking. In possibly a different room men sit around tables set against the walls drinking pints of beer while two men play snooker on a table setup in the middle of the room. At one of the tables men play a game of dominoes while others throw darts at a nearby dartboard. A man takes a sip if his pint of beer and shakes hands with the man standing next to him, on another table a game of cards is being played.
Around the room men sitting around tables continue to drink and chat while another game of snooker is played as a trick shot is made. While at the table where cards are being played a game comes to an end with some of the men getting up to leave. At a different table, a new game of cards begins with a pack being cut and dealt, nearby the game of dominoes continues. A large crowd gather around the bar waiting to be served.
In another room a man plays an electronic piano as men and women sit together around tables chatting and drinking mainly pints of beer. A long table set up against a wall contains plates of buffet food. The film ends showing people at the club as they continue to chat.
