• Newspaper Article*: Margaret Ness McGregor Dickson hotelier was mentioned in a newspaper article BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND
  AT one time, the Hubara nightclub, adjacent to the Craigtay Hotel on the west end of the Broughty Ferry Road, was one of the most popular venues for a good night out.
  However, when the hotel was recently given an extensive facelift, the club was closed down, the intention being that it would probably remain so.
  Demand.
  But now, licensee at the hotel Mrs Margaret Hawes and her husband
  Leonard have decided that it is time to reopen.
  Said Mrs Hawes, “Last Friday’s grand reopening was really in response to a great public demand.
  “When we shut the Hubara, we did not really have any plans to reopen, but as the months went by we received more and more telephone calls about the club.”
  Appeal.
  The club itself has not been changed a great deal since it was first opened by Mrs Hawes mother, Mary Nay.
  Both in physical set up and the general atmosphere that the Hawes try to create, it has a very wide appeal to both youngsters and folk in their middle and later years.
  So, on Friday nights, the patrons of the club are entertained first by a dance band from 8.00 p.m. until 11.00 p.m.
  Then the pace is slightly raised for the younger generation who have still got plenty of energy to expend on the dance floor when the latest disco sounds take over.
  On a Saturday night, the disco is left offstage in favour of a whole nights’ live dance band music till midnight.
  An exciting new feature is the “Spider-Web” dance floor. This has really to be seen to be appreciated, but in essence involves a pattern of flashing strips of light built into the woodwork of the floor itself.
  Star.
  By a flick of a button, the D.J. or master of ceremonies can change the pattern from the full spider’s web to a revolving star shape.
  Seating arrangements are much the same with tables and chairs to accommodate around 160 people.
  As well as all manner of drinks, including cocktails on order, it is also possible to buy a good reasonably priced meal of ham or chicken salad, or even sandwiches if its just a snack you are after.
  The club is open to all members of the public as well as guests at the increasingly popular Craigtay Hotel and there is ample car parking space at the back of the hotel. on 3 December 1981 at Craigtay Hotel, 101 Broughty Ferry Road, Dundee, Angus, Scotland, .¹¹
