As I work abroard Im away for 6 weeks at a time, but avaeraged out at about once a month thru out the year, would deffo be doin more if permanently in the UK.

I always work weekends so I can't attend some places as often as I'd like to or as late as I'd like to. Definitely do more allnighters if I could, as there tends to be more diversity and the chance to hear, what for me, is something new. Bonus.

once every 3 mths :)

Once every 3 - 6 months for me nowadays - Damn those priorities!!! :excl:

Hats off to those who still do it almost week in, week out - I suspect there's only a couple of hundred of you left that do. I did at least a ten year 'stint' like that.....If I remember....... :huh:

I'll be interested in the results of the poll.

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

I'm gobsmacked at the results so far, I thought the majority were 2 or more a month. I can average approx 12 in a year, and voted once a month and consider myself a lightweight. :lol:

Hoping to do better in 2013 and raise it to 2 a month. :thumbsup:

Maybe we should also have a poll on who stays all night?

It's one of my new years resolutions Sallie, life's too short as they say. Radcliffe a possibility. :thumbsup:

To be honest with the job and hours I do right now I struggle with all-nighters. They also knock he f*ck out of me these days as well. 4 or 5 finish is plenty for me at this moment in time.

Once a month mainly, and struggle like hell for over a week afterwards, and imagine the niters will decrease this year due to life commitments :thumbsup:

Once every blue moon,

mainly due to the fact that I shouldn't do what I'd like to do when I go to one, bloody ticker-It's all Les Rushtons fault :yes:

Think the last one was Burnley about 18 months ago, I think.

Can't see the point of going to any out n out Oldies Allnighter meself though... :hatsoff2:

I agree Chalky, if i'm driving myself i'll probably slip away around 4ish these days. It used to be I could recover by Tuesday, but the last one I went to just after New Year I was still flagging come Friday. :(

Dave keeps telling me with practice my recovery times will get shorter but it's been at least twice a month for over 7 months now and I think it's getting harder!

Wot do you mean -too old to do gear?Certainly most on this site are old(er) and extoll the virtues of the black art!The records are a side issue-obviously!

Once in a blue moon as I don't drive and rely on lifts plus my partner prefers soul nights to nighters as she likes to be tucked up in bed by about 1am!

over the year probably equals out to once a month...its the drive from bristol that gets us..nicci doesnt like me driving over about hour and a half after a nite with no sleep so most nighters, except gloucester and the odd mars bar means a stop over which makes it an expensive trip....niter v new tunes??...most soul nites turn into allnighters when we get home anyway!

none at all for me, in fact on friday i'm going to my first soul night in 2 years

Yup understand that. When I was down in Somerset it was a dreadful journey "oopt north". Thank goodness you got a few decent events down there.

and whenever i get home from a niter i always feel sorry for those on the south coast or plymouth who have another 2 hours on the road!!!

Maybe three to four times a year,always a hotel room,prefer it that way,a dear do, but complies with the law :yes:

Love to do more but limited by family and work commitments.

1 every 3-6 months for me, but will have done 2 this year after lifeline and still in Feb!

closing the poll now as the next one is lined up

thanks to all who took part

as have said before these polls are just an off the cuff sort of thing

if anyone does have what they feel any good suggestions for future weekly polls then please pm me them

the idea is a fairly simple yes/no sort of affair that hopefully be of some enjoyment/interest to majority of members

thanks

mike
