Briles Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) Thanks to everyone for making our first nite a great nite. The floods in the afternoon just added to the stress of a very nervy promoter. Then Hitsville Chalky got a bit lost coming into Warwick because the road sign had been blown away Ganche came to our rescue though and played a great early spot. Nick Turvey started the dancefloor action off when we still had daylight coming thro' the windows cos the curtains aren't up yet. Kylee kept things flowing for the dancers and was superb as usual. Finally Hitsville Chalky got his enthusiastic self to the decks for the last hour and was simply magnificent We had terrific support from the superb people from Rugby, Banbury, and Nuneaton Soul Clubs which we have close ties with. The Black Country was well represented as well, always good to see the likes of Woody and Dave Rimmer plus their better halves Also we manged to find local Soulies, some of which hadn't been 'out' in years, and they packed the floor too. Just hope they come back, and get the buzz to support our Sister Clubs previously mentioned. Thanks Again, will post pics up when I suss it, Burnley Dave, and Warwick SC.

Great move making Chalky resident by the way Cheers Craig, better that anyone could of expected on what was a horrible day weather wise, and a real worry on our first one. The night appeared to go down a storm Chalky, Kylee and Nick were all great. We have a fabulous line up next month as well. The policy is to keep mixing up the DJ's giving as many ppl as poss chance to get involved in an open and friendly club Best Dave Link to comment
