Just wondering if there are any all-nighters still being run in venues that have a sprung dancefloor?

Interestingly, the Empress Ballroom would have gained it's name from the type of dancefloor it had, an Empress. Same as the Casino used to be called Wigan Empire, (Or Wigan Emp as my parents knew it!) because it had an Empire dancefloor. There was a third type but I'm blowed if I can remember it !

Couple of years ago I was working at a large factory that closed down. They had a sprung dance floor in their social club.

I was given the job of getting the best price for all the machinery/fixtures etc.

It was only when the whole thing was done and dusted and the buildings put into mothballs that I remembered that floor and wondered if it would have had a value.

Probably like a lot of things - more expensive to take it up and relay it than buy a new one.

Is it Regent or Regency Dave?

I never knew about where the name 'Empress' & 'Empire' came from, I have learnt something new today though very Regal! sounding names.

Ooops! Sorry Wendy the Empress is not a niter though you never know in the future!

That's it. Regency. I suppose at one time nearly every town had an Empress, Empire, or Regency club, most of them have gone now though.

too funny :rolleyes:

the Oddies in Leics used to have sprung based. I'd love a nighter to be held at Wobble in Brum (where they used to hold chicago house / 'underground disco' nites - or whatever it's called), the floor is so sprung based the whole building wobbles when the floor is packed (hence the name of the club).

Late sixties/early seventies,Dave Godin visited once at Llandudno's Paynes Cafe Royale,had a fantastic sprung dancefloor,even the tables and chairs around the sides used to move with the dancers,happy days. :rolleyes:
