February 20, 200916 yr Hi Jez Thank fook it's close to tunstall park wait till i tel Mr Dale will have a laugh in fact i had a laugh i went to Tunstall Tech across the the road from the venue was this Tunstall bingo and social club, grey matter fading Barry Hey up Barry You'e probably right about it being a bingo and social club. It used to be a cinema(i think) and a lot of those shut down in the 60's and opened up as bingo halls didn't they. Anyway, yes remind Johnny at Prestatyn will ya, and we'll get him there in October for a great laugh Jez

Malc Burton The Torch Reunion - Saturday 24th October 2009 THIS IS A TICKET ONLY EVENT There will be no opportunity to pay at the door on the night - no ticket , no admission Ticket reservations - burtonmalc@yahoo.co.uk / pauldonnellybp@aol.com
February 20, 200916 yr Author Update 20/2/09 It's been two weeks since I asked "who'd be up for it" bloody hell to suggest its kick off would be a under statement. First off I'd like to thank Malc for asking me to get involved, like him I want to do this for ME, no pretence no crap just looking forward to having one hell of a day paying tribute to a venue which shaped so many lives. Secondly I'd like to say thanks to Jez Jones for his assistance and contributions; our man on the manor has done so much. Thirdly, thank you to my brother who sorted out a website in 24hrs free of charge (link in my signature if you want to have a look) Fourthly all the dj's who have offered there services FOC to benefit the two proposed charitys Finally, those that have sent emails in reserving tickets and chatting about old times etc, I've been truly touched by some of the correspondence that has been received from offers of help with no charge to an email from Jill Bayles which was so long it took me two days to read. We have received applications for 164 tickets. Once the tickets have been received we will send out a request for payment so as to expedite tickets to you, put them in a safe place as no ticket, no entrance. I'm now off for me hard toast, ham and cheese, glass of spumante and a listen to Exus Trek to perk me up ...take care.

February 24, 200916 yr Author Re-unions such as this are a great way to meet up with old friends, have a few beers, enjoy a good chat and all to the accompaniament of some of the finest music ever laid to vinyl, however there is another side to this event which we would like to share with you .... all profits from this event will be shared between two charities. The Douglas Macmillan Hospice a local north staffordshire organisation who give support and care to those facing cancer The Stroke Association a national charity solely concerned with combating stroke in people of all ages, funding research into prevention, treatment and better methods of rehabilitation We believe both of these causes are well worthy of our support, we hope you do to.
