John Case

In 1973 three people namely Brian Holden, Gordon Ratnage and Melvyn Cameron saw the need for a Country Western Club in the Bletchley area. The trio started tentatively by holding their first meetings at "The Compass Club" eventually moving on to a more permanent basis at the "Gladiator Club" which was then the home of Bletchley Football Club. The promise from that day forward was that MK Divided C&W Club would present LIVE Country Music every Sunday fortnight to meet the demand. A fortnightly presentation of the best in UK country to date and this year MK Divided are celebrating thirty nine years (April 2012) of serving the area with a two weekly dose of LIVE country music. In the past MK Divided have hosted such bands as " The Hillsiders" "Kentucky County" and "The Alabama Hayriders" to name but a few of the bygone top artists, but the continue to bring the tops in UK country entertainment to the Club..

John and Trish. They have been Members since 1996 … They have made the Club one of the friendliest in the UK. They took over in 2008 , opening the doors to all ages, dancers and listeners - all are welcome. Johns love of Country music and wanting to keep it alive in Milton Keynes/Bletchley has brought the club from strength to strength. Sophie their daughter - now 13 - has also been an active member all her life .. grown up with the sounds of Country Music . " Keep It Live - Keep it Country "

Ken & Sandra - Ken first went to the club in approx 1979 when in Manor Fields. Ken likes the country music as it has a meaning, memories of the club …. the trips to various clubs and the days out in American Air Force Base at Chick Sands, which were arranged but Sid Shadbolt, ( former committee member) Also Coach trips to the Wembley Festival each April, then after moving to the Railway club The Wild Bunch used to have shot out at the end of each session until a member of the club got hit by a bullet from a misfiring gun, then the shot outs were no longer. (Health & Safety reason). Then in 1995 I (Sandra) started going to the club with a friend and Ken and I met each other. All I can say is that Ken has rarely missed a club night, since the early days. Met John & Trish at Roger Sheperds & Jim Thatchers line dance teaching class where friendship arose and since Brian Holden has passed the rains onto John Case he has helped him bring the club forward...by Sandra
