Mace Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 15 record dealers already booked in. Once again, please be sure to let me know if you need table space cus we cannot guarantee table space if you fail to pre-book it. There is only room for 2-Row boxes (approx 200 count) per dealer (you will each have approx 18" of table space). Sorry to be so strict, but we want to accomodate as many record dealers as possible. You won't be in some back room away from it all, you are gonna be on the old stage area overlooking the main room dance floor, so expect a lot of traffic through your sales boxes We will have table lights and extension leads set up in place.

whereismy record Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi Dave looking like its going to be a great night. This would have been the only night/allnighter that would have gave me the urge to get to something but instead stuck in a fire station in the middle of the desert in Libya. Hope all goes well so I can come to the next one, but not in 25 years!! Derek Robertson Link to comment

Mace Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Is there a cloakroom in the TOTW ? Thanks in advance Mick. Yes there is a cloakroom that will be manned by the club. In fact, as the seating is mainly high backed booths there is no option for hanging your coat on the back of a chair so to speak, so if you don't want to leave your coats in the cloakroom please leave them in the car.

Mace Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Over 20 record dealers now booked in, and that's pretty much all we can accomodate with 200 boxes. Anyone else planning on bringing sales please restrict it to a 50 count box as we cannot guarantee you space on the main sales tables now. Regards Mace Link to comment

After slating you for having the memory of a goldfish, I'm completely in the bad books of the South London Massive as after offering to bring everybody in our 8-seater family bus, I'd neglected to notice until last night that the tax & MOT had run out in the week, doh.

Guest Phil Richards Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi All When Chris and I did the last one I said it was a one off. Well five years have passed since then and the love for the venue does not seem to have deminished, so plans are a foot to put on another re-union next year. So the venue is going to be awesome, and if this time round we can persuade Gary Rushbrooke to do it, what playlist would you most like to hear him spin. Any other little details or features you would like to see, we are already working on the infamous card school, with many of it's original players ready to lose their shirt in the wee small hours. Dave Looking forward to this see you later Link to comment
