Y Club and YMCA
The surviving Where & When index contains Chelmsford entries labelled “Y Club” and “YMCA”. The project handover identifies the Y Club as the Victoria Road YMCA venue. This page gathers those index entries without treating every listing as independently verified.

Other surviving YMCA material
A supplied Tin Soldiers Mod Society flyer names The Gents with The Way Out at the YMCA, Chelmsford. The flyer does not print a year, so the associated event record leaves it undated.
Oral-history research leads
Essex Archives catalogue descriptions for Ian Fortnam and Paul Cleary mention the Y Club or YMCA within broader accounts of Chelmsford music. These are useful research leads; the catalogue summaries do not establish individual Y Club event dates.
This page reflects the currently packaged archive. The surviving index is an important browseable source, but it is not presented as a complete list of all Y Club performances.
