Guest rosemary Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Me & Claire S have got two golden tickets as well I've told Claire how great the 20th anniversay was & we are both giddy little bunnies. Really looking forward to it xxx Hello Ali....... glad you got your golden tickets...... we'll see you there, coming with Kyle, Sue M, Mr and Mrs Brennan.... I'm so excited ..... nearly as excited as Southport. Speak soon xx Link to comment
Peter Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Otherwise the nearest car park is 'Riverside' which has a lot of spaces. Where or what is the "Riverside" Pete Link to comment
Mace Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Any tickets left..... Hi mate. You can buy them online @ www.newcenturysoul.co.uk up until 10.00 p.m. Thursday evening. As its too close to Easter to post out, any prepaid tickets will now be held on the door in your name. Some ticket sellers will have tickets out and about this Friday and Saturday (Little Scotty, Steve Cato, Steve Thomas, Anton Ludwig, Dave Thorley & myself) Otherwise its £15 pay on the door on the night. Advance ticket sales have far exceeded those sold for the 20 Year Reunion in 2005. We are expecting a huge turnout for this event. Whilst the venue is large enough to accomodate our expected turnout we strongly recommend purchasing advance tickets - especially if travelling long distances.Regards Mace Link to comment

Gilly Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hopefully coming up from Cheltenham with Budgie - really looking forward to it. Note to Craig from Shrewsbury - if your going and you read this I would prefer you didn't stick a live light socket in my ear AGAIN when I'm all sweaty from the dance floor (they dangled from the ceiling where they'd taken some of the tables away from around the dance floor) It felt like I'd been whacked by a lump of 2 by 4. I do hope Budgie goes,hav'nt seen him in a very long time.Gilly Link to comment
Tabs Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hi Gilly, Last time me and Eddie saw Budgie was at a do in Cheltenham. About 3 years ago. Greety was DJ'ing along with Jo Wallace. Be good to catch up with him again. Cheers Tabs Be good to catch up with the I do hope Budgie goes,hav'nt seen him in a very long time.Gilly Link to comment
Raremusicdirect Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just read through all those posts, some lively debate.......... As one who never attended any of the original events, am very pleased to have the opportunity to hear some of the Stafford sounds still played (in the mix) via present day Allnighters such as Lifeline...... I agree with Chalky who posted : "don't no why anyone is complaining. I can't wait, gonna be a great night, nostalgia for those that want it and the "Spirit of Stafford" as it's termed for those that want to "move on" for want of a better phrase. If you are not interested in the third room stay in the other two" I am viewing it as I do most Allnighters, a chance to enjoy yourself and listen to the music we love with like minded people.......... Following on from the USOS Allnighter on the Saturday, what better Easter weekend ? The resurection of the Lord may have a greater significance for a slightly wider audience , but I know at which alter I'll be preying this Sunday morn.............. Link to comment

Dave Thorley Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 OK here are the DJ times. We have tried to give it as authentic a feel as possible with DJ's doing sets close to the times they used to do. Except Robin, he is going to kick off the night, as Richard would have done with a modern soul showcase, so even this has the authenticity of the original nights. The other two rooms have been planned so those who worry about hearing two dj's at the same time don't have sets that directly clash with the main room. We have tried to think about everything for your enjoyment.

Dave Some good and bad news Bad news, the police informed us yesterday that the event can only run until 6am. They tell us that if they let it run until 8am it would go over into another shift change and cost them alot of money and they don't have the budget for it. Policing in YK2!!!!!!!! Although the club has a 24 hour music and dance licence, they don't wish to push the point, as for them it is a new venture and they need to keep on the good side of the local boys in blue. Also Keith Minshull has decided not to DJ. Good news, having rung round or emailed all the other DJ's we have a full contingent. All are really excited and have records ready to go. It's really great to see these bunch of guys come together just one more time. We have all moved on, but for one night only we are all going back there, fantastic!!!!!!!!!!. As for time, we will still have full hour sets for everyone as I had built in some slack originally, just incase of unforseen problems. Link to comment
