Cleethorpes scooter rally was fantastic this year on the saturday night in the Pier,

From what ive heard we wont be in the Pier. But the main night doo will be near the campsite (which is also a new venue). This is comming from the clubs who organise it.

But agree it was a good venue!

It's not just the purchase cost - think about the maintenance

Her comes Kev Roberts :lol: :lol:

would of thought in 150 years it will have seen a lot more than a few Northern Soul nights

Her comes Kev Roberts :lol: :lol:

I'll pass.

A badly run venue for many years. Goldsoul gave them their best turnover in one night and still they can't get it right.

It would take some convincing for us to go back, whoever the new owners are.

I thought you were doing an all dayer there next year march time ? Only a friend of mine in norway has brought tickets to go and I would very much like to know if this is still on and can they get a refund if not?

It's Still Unsold it failed to reach its Guide Price Earlier just seen an article on the BBC Website

Here's the article....

Not surprised it didn't sell. Costs of running would be....a lot!

What happens now?

The National Trust could buy it for the nation, 'UK Soul Nation'. The Government could step in, buy it and create a UK Black Music museum. Would be no worse than some of the other mickey mouse national museum, successive governments have sunk millions of tax payers money into.

The owners couldn't give this place away, that's why its up for auction in a last ditch attempt to recuperate the losses incurred in maintaining the pier.

As for the Soul community putting there hands in thier pockets to buy the place or any government body investing in it for Soul community that's a fooooooking joke.

We are a community bound together by the common bonds of dancing, buying records and listening to soul music, in the company of like minded people and friends..

When it comes to putting your hand in your pocket and investing in the future of the Soul scene,it goes no further than a few working class lads dipping into there hard earned cash to hire a venue mainly at high risk of loss,to give us a good night out which I greatly appreciate.

So don't be surprised if this old venue goes down the road of decay followed by being demolished like many before it.

Why so serious ? ?, clearly my comments about the government were massively tongue in check, as the last line of my post emphasises. Think all the people before have seen the amusing side of this from their posts. The building will continue to decline and then a big storm will come and wash it away.

Yep already did a quick assessment Dave when I saw your tongue in cheek post. Bad insurance risk, put all the soul artifacts in there and the North Sea will take 'em sooner or later.....

Yes I did read it as a tongue in cheek line Dave lol .I know a simple NO to the post header of Anyone Have A Spare £400,000? Buy Cleethorpes!... would have done the job but I couldn't resist going off into one.
