Guest Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Not sure if Im really the right person to start the thread but Im sure everyone is still in bed! I just wanted to say what a great nite it was, lots of people there, some I hadnt seen for years was so nice to see them again. It was a great turn out of all Jim's friends to show what a nice man he was. Hopefully many others will be adding to this thread their thoughts on the nite especially those who were so good in organising this. Karen B Link to comment
s7oul Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Yes Karen great turn out as expected for such a special person. Thanks to all those who put this together and the quick delivery from the 'rent a deck' man Pat Link to comment
Garethx Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Just a quick observation: last night was very successful and very good fun. All the deejays played blinders, with particular thanks going to Liam who coped manfully with one deck until a replacement was drafted in. The generosity of those who came was remarkable and I'm sure Ben will be able to provide an update when contributions are totalled up. All in all a fitting send off for a top man. Link to comment
Ben Summers Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Yeah, we really needed Jim there at the beginning to fix the bloody deck! But all turned out well... And a special thanks to all the DJs, who did a great job. The music really good and I'm sure Jim was leaping around somewhere or other. Link to comment
Ben Summers Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Obviously I wasn't considered responsible enough to stagger home with all the money. It was given to someone older (significantly) and wiser. Angelo. Haven't got hold of him this morning. He seems to have fled the country.

Prophonics 2029 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Must agree it was a great night for all the right reasons. Funny thought I saw Jim there with his back to me. Well done to all the organisers and DJ's or are they the same. Edited November 17, 2007 by Prophonics 2029 Link to comment

Something over £800 was recovered. Link to comment
Gert Mark Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Well done Ben and everyone for pulling that off, im so sad that i couldnt be there. Link to comment
Ben Summers Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Just found an earring in my pocket. I have some vague recollection of someone handing it to me on the night. I've no idea if it's worth 50p or £50,000. It's sparkly and dangly. Anyone go home with one ear heavier than the other? Link to comment
Guest mrs norman maine Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yep, excellent night and good to see so many turning out for Jim, including some I haven't seen for donkey's. Can't think of anything to say about this wonderful man that's not already been said, so I won't, but it was a fitting tribute to him. Big congratulations to the organisers and what a lovely venue!

Ben Summers Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Total raised was £870. Special thanks to Len Dopson and Paul McKay for raising the generous cheques, and of course all the DJs for offering their services. Link to comment
Ady Croasdell Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Total raised was £870. Special thanks to Len Dopson and Paul McKay for raising the generous cheques, and of course all the DJs for offering their services. Brilliant, well done people and a great fun night into the bargain. Matt Jahans, The Cozens Bros, Winston, Kenny, Rebecca, Ayshea, James T, the Trickstas and many more turned out for a final farewell. Jim's brother and old schoolmates made it too and had a rare old time, even threatening to make it down to the 100 Club. Jim's good work goes on! PS Hopefully Jim wouldn't have minded my mistakenly(ish) saying the money was going to a nymphomania charity. Link to comment

Ben Summers Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Just as I was about to put it in the post to Len! OK, describe your earrings people... one of you is an evil, sneaky, other-peoples'-earrings fetishist. PS I think it would lovely on either of you. PPS Only got the one I'm afraid, Annie. I'll ask the venue. Link to comment
Guest Karen Heath Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I can't believe I didn't make it in the end-what a disaster! It sounds like everybody had an appropriately great time in remembrance and celebration of the life of dear Jim who must have been highly conspicuous by his absence.....I'm sure he would have loved it but in a very humble manner of course!
