Anyway just a reminder its on and we have 2 rooms - 1 for modern & 1 for northern! No complaints there then. Usual suspects plus special guest Steve Guanori.

Although I wouldn't bother with the train, as last one back is just before 23.00 (11 o'clock to you)! I should know I get paid by South West Trains, I try not to work too much if you know what I mean. It's much easier if you can get someone to drive, as it's just off Junction 3 of the M3. >> Click here for a Map << Link to comment

Garethx Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Went to Lightwater last year and had a really good time. Used public transport, however, and got back to North London, via Gatwick Airport, at around six in the morning, having set off at six the previous evening. Link to comment
Soulsmith Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yes I remember that nite. My heart went out to you. Despite your many well documented talents Gareth, I've decided that orienteering is probably not one of them. It would be a very black day for the emergency services, should you ever commit yourself to the sport of mountaineering. Next time you are down this neck of the woods drop me a line in advance & I will arrange accomodation. I say in advance as I need to give the servants a couple of days notice if I'm going to kick them out of the west wing. Genral note to all: if you are coming from central London by car it should only take you 45 mins! Link to comment

Having said that we are going up with regulars Paul Betts & Bruce. Should be fun...... link Haven't you been told Col???? Didn't you get the "initiation leaflet" for "Yarmouth Virgins"???? In "Essence" ou will be expected to perform a sexually explicit dance wearing not a lot in front of all of the ladies on Friday evening, run twice round the block "naked" proclaiming "I hate Frank WIlson", and then you'll be "initiated". In all seriousness I hope you enjoy it, the crowd (max 250) is very friendly, it's very relaxed, the bar is open until the death (a major advantage at 3 am I can tell you!). Musically you will hear a very broad spectrum ranging from a "dab" of northern (Flanny's bang on "in yer face" northern set mid Saturday afternoon was a highlight last year), x-over and 70's through to some new releases. All sorts of tempos and styles with the emphasis on soul. And you'll leave with more friends than you arrived with. I understand a couple of "new to Yarmouth" record dealers are also expected to show, along with the regulars with "special things" to tempt your wallet with. Link to comment
