This is a big weekend for us in Herts with two of the main soul clubs running one after the other. RSG on Friday and Talk Of The South on Saturday. So great to see all the local promoters in this area supporting each others nights and avoiding clashes.

This is a gem of a venue. Big, big, big wooden dance floor. Nice stage area at one end. Alcove seating, cheap bar and loads of parking. With the DJ line up this promises to be the start of great weekend.

Jon there will be quite a few of us coming along on Friday.

We will be arriving early to take advantage of the "free entry before 4pm".

[Guest Gavin Page]

Looking forward to it very much

FINISTED BUNFIELDS

Shaun, Your Spelling is Atrocious ! FINISHED & BUNCEFIELD ????

& How did you know I worked @ Buncefield ???? Back in the 70's when I was a Chef @ BP's Head Office in Hemel, We had to look after the Canteen for the BP Drivers @ Buncefield, as they had a separate Canteen from all the other Driver's, Me & my mate Billy Marmion had the pleasure of entertaining the Troops @ Buncefield, in a way it was just like being in the Army....Anyway The Buffet for Friday is nothing special just Sausage Rolls, Cocktail Sausages & Mince Pie, Nuts & Raisins & a few other bits, Just a Few Festive Nibbles.... Plenty for you Mark ....I only hope the Banbury Crowd don't out do our Spread, as they are bringing there own Buffet along......
