Guest gfarrington Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 wow a weekender we can get a local bus to,if im not in when you ring dave just leave a message Link to comment
Soultown andy Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 All djs confirmed now adverts and flyers should be out soon.For those who put deposits down for the oct prestatyn why not try to get pontins to transfer it to southport,just a thought. Link to comment
Soultown andy Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Had a no of enquires from people local to the camp in southport about session only passes.Im afraid pontins dont do session only passes at any of there camps,its been the same for those local to the prestatyn camp for 10 years,you have to book for the weekend.We will be asking the new owners about this policy,but i honestly dont expect it to change.It might be worth looking into booking one of the budget chalets for 4 locals,i think you will find its still cheaper than a lot of the other weekenders that are really soul nites and no accomodation.2niters and 2 dayers would cost around 30 quid anywere,and for a bit more you get the chalet thrown in as well.

Ged Parker Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 DJ'd here in the Northern Room at the scooter weekender last month. I have to say the big main room is massive with a superb dancefloor and the sound system could knock you over at 1000 yards. It'll be great to be back there and playing in such a line up of great DJ's. Honour and a privilege to be asked Link to comment

Guest Ranger Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) A couple of questions, First can the two threads be combined? It's a pain in the @rse having to check both to get the latest updates. Web booking seem to be live here Pontins Northern Soul weekender Second question, will there be any accommodation deals for couples? Last question, if you go through the booking procedure the default number of nights is 2. If you change it to 3 it defaults back to 2, so presumably the all dayers are Friday and Saturday and we all go home on Sunday? Kev Edited July 8, 2011 by Ranger Link to comment
Soultown andy Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 First answer dont know,second answer the all dayers are sat and sunday. weekend hours are fri start 5pm till 8am sat mornin 12 noon sat till 8am sun mrnin sun 12 noon till 8pm sun evenin finish The sat day session goes straight thru didnt see the point takin a break. Its technicaly 3 sessions if u want to split hairs but over 40 hrs of soul, hope that answers everythin . Link to comment
Soultown andy Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Accomodation deals wise,pretty much like prestatyn depends on type of chalet.But i can tell you the chalets are way better than prestatyn. Link to comment
Guest Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 The Prices are now up on their site: https://www.pontins.com/themed-breaks/music-breaks/northernsoul/ I was thinking only recently that I'd like an Autumnal weekender and here it is! Link to comment
spot Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Just had a good look at this & all the others in & around September, can only manage 2 due to financial & physical matters (I'm an old decrepit sod & financially embarrassed), so after seeing that Southport is 2 Nighters plus 2 Alldayers, meaning that there'll be music whenever you go in the room, which suits me, no wandering into Prestatyn or it's deserted sea front freezing your bits off or soaked to the skin, plus it seems to be a similar promotional team, a very good one by the way & have you seen the line up of DJ's??? A definite across the board mix of something Old, New, Rare & Blue, so it's Club class here for us, because we're worth it, closely followed by Skeg Vegas the week after because that's a great friendly laid back weekender, hopefully the sun will shine on both of them & September will be a month to remember. Take care, be safe & remember,"Ba de ya - say do you remember,Ba de ya - dancing in September, Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days", Spot. Edited July 19, 2011 by spot Link to comment

Ged Parker Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm gonna love not having Scooters being started outside my apartment at 8:00. It'll make a change from the Lancs Alliance Scooter Weekenders where half of the punters are in bed by two. Good job the dancefloor is massive too with some of the tunes I just know are in them boxes boys. Link to comment

Philt Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Strictly no socks with sandals at southport . Oh come on Andy, it always secures an early doors sunbed in Benidorm and I was banking on using the same technique in sunny Southport Link to comment
Ged Parker Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 If it's nice on Saturday I'll don em for you at Edgie's party "Edgie"??? I prefer to think of him as "Middle of the Roady" To be fair he has picked the venue with the most dedicated pork scratchin supplier in the Western Hemisphere just in case the buffet isn't up to muster.

cloth ears Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Normally at the scooter doos if you want to stay on the sunday night you pay an extra £10 and you can stay overnight. Just spoken with them and they said it will depend an availability but that it will be ok going on past weekenders. so if your booking its worth asking, I know some go home on sunday but a good few want to stay over. Not long now! Link to comment
