Hello all,

I can feel this is going to be a bit of a special nite,

with Butch covering TWO guest spots

he will get a little more time than usual to play us, well,

anything he blxxdy well wants!!!!

Arthur is our regular guest

and I do know he has never failed to keep it fresh and exciting

with a strong mix of 60s and 70s with many a curve ball to throw the crowd

Maria O is my co promoter and qualifies for my 'unsung hero' award, BOOMERANG,

was her brainchildand during her early spot always indulges me with one or two

absolute gems, some I know and some not familiar,

That sums Boomerang up really, some you'll know, some you won't.

All served up with good cheer, and PLENTY of guinness

Hope to see you there,

Love Karen xxx

Room booked at Thorne Central Guest House, so Martin and myself will be there. Missed the last time Butch played Boomerang but the playlist on the website looked good. Looking forward to seeing all my friends and hearing good music. What could be better?

Hi Martin,

Yes dinner at 6 'ish' for anyone who wants to sample

proper YORKSHIRE pub ambiance

The menu is varied, but the GIANT yorkshire puds with lashings of gravy are always popular

This together with t'Taverns fine selection of BEERS and SPIRITS will set anyone up for the night

Sales boxes always welcome for the 'earlybirds'

but, we accept NO liability for any gravy spills on sleeves (record or jackets)!!!!!!!

see you there,

Karen xxxx

I want to come, i want to come, I want to come

I have every intention of making this part II of my 40th celebrations... but at the moment all the men in my life are being miserable feckers and sying No to me.

If my persuasive tactics and/or sulking don't work then I shall have to just come on my own and find someone else to play with

[Guest peter burke]

Well Kirsty,

I'm a bit occupied lately, so only just mentioning that I've posted up near 100 photos from the last three Boomerang's on Facebook here:

>> "Friends of Boomerang" group - photos page <<

...feel free to tag thyself and friends!

As usual, send me a PM if you wish any removed (always us women who do that ).

........They'll also get built into the website (along with the multitude of earlier ones) once I get a chance to relax a bit next month.

I have had a few requests for sales tables, which are sorted

but if anyone else needs space please PM or ring me.

[Guest]

I've dropped a bollock

BUT after a year long absence myself and Michael will be along for a dance, a gossip and maybe a bit of a flirt... This is only possible as I have promised to drive home straight after

If I am being sedate and well behaved, this is the reason why I bloody hate driving....

Oh and I will probably need reminding that I cannot drive in my contact lenses and will need to put my glasses on before we leave... and not after I have been driving for a bit when I suddenly realise that I can't see properly....

Save me a space on the dancefloor near the speaker by the pillar near my table

[Maria O]

Save me a space on the dancefloor near the speaker by the pillar near my table

I'm always first in the venue, so will make a sign up with your name on it . Seriously miss seeing you on that dancefloor girl!

After an amazing Bamberg experience, I think today it's finally time to start doing something useful ...other than my job .

So, here's the DJ roster for the next Boomerang:

08:00 PM - MARIA O (30 min)

08:30 PM - ARTHUR FENN (30 min)

09:00 PM - BUTCH (60 min)

10:00 PM - MARIA O (45 min)

10:45 PM - ARTHUR FENN (45 min)

11:30 PM - BUTCH (90min)

---- 1AM CLOSE ----

Hope to see you there, nice & early!

Really thought we weren't gonna make it at all

Will try to get there for 9...

The good news is that M has agreed that he'll drive, as he doesn't want our children to be orphans Means I can have a drink.... Woo hoo

[Guest Discohair]

Looking forward to this as seems an age since i've been !

Karen can you save a space for Val and Cliff's record box's.

See you all on Saturday for some fun and Frolics.

[Guest soul kitten]

 am definatley coming to this cant wait,

have missed  Thorne nights far too much for my liking 

,only downside is im working that weekend 

they ll just have to look after themselves on Sunday 

[Guest Byrney]

Looking forward to this and bringing the lovely Wendy along.

With the kind permission of Maria, Karen and the gang I'll be shaking my bucket for Shelter having wheezed around the London Marathon cupla weeks ago.

Last chance to throw in. My Just giving site

Looking forward to a good pogo about too.

Anyone know of any digs nearby?

Cheers

Ahh... thanks for letting us know. I'll wait to hear feedback from you experts and speak to the venue before adding it back to this page:

https://www.boomerangsoul.co.uk/find.htm

Karen organises the collective mini-bus booking from the travelodge if people contact her, so everyone can chip in for the fare and save. Just phone or PM her in the next day or two ...ideally.

Sales tables are best booked earlier this week too. Let either of us know via phone, PM, facebook or whatever ...as we coordinate the list between us (and a million other things, so the rush has begun ) . One of us will post up a list here before the weekend - just to be sure all made it on (or announce once we run out of space).

For anybody who has not been for a while, entry is still via the pub door on the street corner now ...and walk through to the function room. Our website has full travel instructions.

The dining room opens at 6pm and the front room pub is open all day

Not sure on numbers for Saturday, but best to get there early if you want a seat, I bet .

And please bring your event flyers for the table we set up, as we collect any left at the end and take to other venues. It's a better option to leaving them on tables where they just get wet then thrown out at the end of the night.

Looking forward to hearing Butch at a soul night and in Yorkshire once again (been too long for either). No doubt, they'll be some fine soul music played !

[jocko]

Looking forward to it immensely, a small Bamberg reunion, with the greatest flat mates anyone could want for a holiday, although without the Santucci whirlwind which my mind says aw shame but my liver says thank F**k

And looking forward to having a Yorkshire pint to celebrate Englands greatest ever football club starting the climb back to where they belong..

And looking forward to having a Yorkshire pint to celebrate Englands greatest ever football club starting the climb back to where they belong..

Looking forward to a pint with you.....and I'll tell you all about my trips up to Elland Road in the late 70 and early 80s as a Spurs fan.

[Guest]

I understand that I might be forced to listen to records that I have never heard before, or have only heard a few times, rather than the 10,000 times that I usually need to feel comfortable. Not wanting to have to just sit quiely in a corner all night, I thought that I would take the time at home to practise my set dance routine - so that I can dance all night and fit it with the rest of the crowd... I was wondering though, will there be room for backdrops? 1, 2, 3, kick, 1, 2, 3, clap, spin, drop

Oh and what is the de-rigour when it comes to outfits? I wouldn't want to stand out just because I'm not wearing the right coloured belt and matching sock combo

Blimey I'm looking forward to Saturday

[Arthur Fenn]

Looking forward to a pint with you.....and I'll tell you all about my trips up to Elland Road in the late 70 and early 80s as a Spurs fan.

As a young lad my dad used to take me to Elland Rd, i supported spurs ( Allan Mullery days ) and boy was my dad worried when i was waving my rattle , sat next to Peter Cook on one occassion too ( he wasn't very funny that day tho ). And by the way really looking forward to sat, gonna try get Butch to play the 3rd eye, hell fire bit nice!, Arthur.

Its a bit early to be having a drink for Sheff Wednesday Jock, we've got to get back up first :yes: but we'll have a pint or two any way

See you Saturday pal, give me a ring and let us know your plans.

[Guest Discohair]

Really looking forward to saturday

Be good to see you Byrney , we are all at the Travelodge.

Karen can you keep 4 spaces on the bus please and have asked for record box space for Val an Cliff.

Ps Jock hope your up to a bevy or 2 with the girls, ha ha

Bloody Hell Arthur you can get arrested for that in certain parts of Yorkshire .The Goole Giddy Bus is fully loaded & maybe a few tag alongs, who by then will have drank my Becks, so the pressures on Mr Dobson.

Take care,be safe & remember,"The only way is up,baby, for you & me now",

Spot.

Looking forward to saturday just booked up the hotel cant wait any chance we can have 4 spaces on the bus also please

[Maria O]

Looking forward to saturday just booked up the hotel cant wait any chance we can have 4 spaces on the bus also please

Karen will be back online soon and take all final orders, then book it.

As we always say - the back function room for Boomerang opens at 8pm, but many off us meet for drinks or food+ from 6pm onwards (the tavern is open all day and food is served evenings). The soul music only runs for 5 hours, so this warm-up social makes it even more worthwhile for travellers. AND - makes early doors even more fun when everyone's happy coming in!

...might be best to get there early on Saturday anyway .

Not had a chance to coordinate today, but sales tables so far that I know about and am preparing 'reserved for' signs for, are: Andy Dyson, Fish, Val Challoner, Cliff Steele and Arthur Fenn. In case anyone is wondering, our other guest dj would just prefer to play soul music and socialise .

Judging by posts, looks like most of the boys will be in the back discussing football and the girls will get all the dancefloor space .....nice!

Getting knots in my tummy for this one - in a good way

ps. A smile thing happened to me today: Predictive text on my phone sent the word "butcher" instead of butch

and somebody thought we were starting a meat raffle!

.....Er noooooo.... ! Best we can offer is Byrney rattling the bucket as he collects donations for Shelter

Edited May 12, 2010 by Maria O

[Guest karen b]

Okay,

technical gremlins on laptop now sorted

For those of you needing transport to the venue from hotel/b &b/hostel/auntie mabels, you

can call a taxi on 01405 817777, I usually speak to Hilary, and they will send a chariot for you.

The fares are very reasonable.

The minibus service is indeed booked for the end of the evening to shuttle people back to

the travelodge, and I shall personally bundle those people who need a hand on board.

Feel free to pm me or post if you can think of anything else we haven't covered above.

See you Saturday,

Karen xxxxxxxxx

It won't be the first time that Mr AJ Byrne has been seen as a prime bit of beef by some female, even at his stage of late.

And its worth mentioning that he is not shaking his bucket just for the sake of it, remember he did run a marthonin less than 5 hours and its all raising sponshership for Shelter, a fantastic charity at any time, but probably one that will be even more needed in the next 5 years, so go on if you haven't already contributed, and even if you have, a few quid in the bucket goes a long way to putting a roof over someones head, and don't believe the propoganda, almost 100% of Shelter's customers need it more than we can believe.

And just in case you haven't seen it his site is still open for some donations, make them here and you can take some money of this new govt and bring them down even quicker, oops did I say that.

https://www.justgiving.com/Anthony-Byrne

Sorry for banging the drum one last time for Mr Byrne but (a) He did brilliantly for a 73 year old astmathic (yes 73 its amazing what botox and running do) and (b) Its for one of my top charities and they really are going to need all the dosh they can get in the new climate.

And back on topic so looking forward to this, any rumours of Butch djing naked if Byrnie if hits his target didn't come from me, great night guaranteed and remember the song to finish the night.

Marching On Together......

PS Arthur you should be ashamed, Spurs and you being a Yorkshire lad...

Well laptop gremlins may have been sorted, but, alas have now invaded my mobile!!!

So sorry for not getting back to anyone if you have texted.

Please feel free to pm me or post and I shall reply.

This Saturday is shaping up to be a jolly one, Paul (one Soul Shrew!) from Amsterdam

is being picked up at the airport tonight by Kipper, who we haven't partied out with for quite a while,

just sorry Mandy cannot make it over aswell.

I am sure this visit to the UK is to see us and not motivated by the Double Butch on offer!!

See you all there,
