There are many Coronation Street fan clubs around the world where people get together to discuss our favourite soap. So when I heard about a Coronation Street fan club in New Zealand I was a bit surprised to hear that no-one's a fan.
The Coro Club has been formed for people to meet while their partners are at home watching Coronation Street!
The Coro Club was formed by Jim Cross, Mick Glew and Bob Newcombe
who said they were tired of the weekly routine of their partners
watching Coronation Street because the programme seemed to run for ages
and they preferred to spend their time engrossed in "deep and
meaningful conversation".
Members have been meeting on Tuesday evenings in the Sprig and Fern in Milton St for the last four years. Jim said the Coro Club had a hard core of seven members but they
could get anywhere between six and 20 people attending on a Tuesday
night.
The Coro Club have their own table in one corner of the pub and
members also use the occasion to exchange any surplus produce they may
have, such as homegrown vegetables. Find out more here.

It is the Same in Australia too. I would love to Join!!!!
I had an online mate once whose husband used to call it "Consternation" Street I think. He'd head to the pub while it was on.
Oh this is great! My partner would definitely join. Hehe.
