Winsford Soul Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Just been told that Winsford civic centre is being demolished early in 2009 so there will be only one nighter there early next year probably in Feb. Will post more details later. The 2 remaining dates for this year are safe. So folks if you have always promised yourself that you will go, you have only got 3 more nighters to get down there.

Winsford Soul Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 what are you going to do move it to northwich or is winsfor getting a new civic. mark Mark. The new civic is being built very close to some houses so there will be no nighter licence available. Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mace Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 what are you going to do move it to northwich or is winsfor getting a new civic. mark Northwich Civic is a great venue, but it's right in the middle of Northwich, which has more than it's fair share of local knobheads and no local nightclub that I know of. With the local pisshead pubs emptying out only a stones throw away, and the no-smoking regs forcing people to smoke out front, it could prove to be a right nightmare.

I think Northwich civic is nicknamed the morgue, there used to be soul nights there in the 70,s. Doubt very much if a nighter ticket would be issued. But stranger things have happened.

Steve Yup, I lived in Northwich for 12 years Steve...think Tot Johnson had something to do with the soul nights there. Obviously both Civics come under Vale Royal council, so nighter license might be granted, though there are lots of houses right next to Northwich Civic.

Steve Hi Steve, and all promoters of Winsford,(past & present) Real shame that this excellent venue is being closed and demolished, have had many a good nite at this place over the years, and like other peeps will be sad to see it go. It was one nighter you could be certain would always be a good nite with friendly faces and no c**p. Have missed a few lately for personal reasons but will be there for the next three Good luck if you decide to carry on elsewhere, am sure you will be well supported.

NiteOwl Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) SOUTH CHESHIRE SOUL CLUB - WINSFORD ALL-NIGHTERS Official Statement I have been asked to post the following on behalf of Dave, Sam & Gary "As most of our regular attending members are aware, our civic hall Winsford building is scheduled for demolition in March 2009, as soon as the new building opposite is completed and opened. Due to the fact that the new building is at the edge of a housing estate, the Council have now informed us that in their view, an all-nighter license application would be futile. There are also a number of other lesser problems with the new building, particularly the early morning opening time of the swimming pool. Therefore after our next 2 advertised nighters on August 9th and October 4th, there will now be one more nighter on February 7th 2009, this regretably will have to be our last one. We would very much like to thank all those who have supported us over the years in making Winsford such a great nighter. The promotion team are of a mind to continue working together at a new venue, and several options are being considerd by us. However no decision on that has yet been taken. Once again, a BIG thank you to you all" Signed .... Dave Price, (and on behalf of Sam Moore & Gary Beattie) Edited June 25, 2008 by NiteOwl Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulgrit Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Steve/Dave, very sad new's indeed , heard the rumour a couple of years ago that it was ear marked to be pulled down, so we've had the time to enjoy the alnighter's there. Winsford is one of my favourite venue's and it will be a sad day when it end's, I alway's had a great time there, everyone being friendly, great atmosphere and a big dance floor that was loved by all ('big, I must have walked round it hundred's of time's', 'count the mile's'), and I will be there at the end for one more lap . Well done all who was involved in this great venue , and best of luck in finding another place. Willie Edited June 25, 2008 by Soulgrit Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
