    The ;team' are busily doing the usual 'behind the scenes' organising for this years CO72/CO23...and have requested we put a shout out to people for any raffle prizes. Each year to supplement the funding for the charity donations from admission fees ...we run a raffle...and over the years there have been some fantastic raffle donations from you .......and for this we THANK YOU ALL for your generosity So if you think you may be able to donate a prize for the raffle PLEASE bring it along on the day many thanks again

So CO72/CO23 .game on !!!! Feel free to share and lets raise some funds for the 3 charities MND University Hospital North Midland Charity British Heart Foundation

    Interesting and really to the point... very valid observations mate and worthy of discussion
  12. Jez Jones
    Got it in one ....and hence you can't really replicate the past with a nostalgia focus ...rules , rules and damn rules
  13. Jez Jones

    AS interest is building ....questions are arising about wristbands and ordering them prior to the event. NO just to confirm YES you can pay on the door. £10 entry on the door...you will receive a wristband PLUS a complimentary raffle ticket We really wanna make this as easy as possible...I see no sense in forcing people to buy wristbands beforehand and then be stuck with them if they cant attend......
  14. Jez Jones

    I think this is worth a mention ALL the DJ's and those behind the scenes are donating their time and efforts for FREE Many are stopping over for the night in local hotels and B&B's along with a fair few patrons of the event who want to make a 'night' of it Such is the respect afforded to this event The venue have agreed to donate the venue for FREE and really get behind this event **ALL MONIES RAISED WILL BE DONATED TO THE CHARITIES** The charities are :- MND Assoc. British Heart Foundation UHNM charity.org We DO hope you can attend...its always a fun day and evening....your donations WILL go straight to the charities

    1) A quick reminder for those kind people who are considering donating a prize for the raffle......a MASSIVE thank you --and if you hand it in on the door we will ensure it goes in with all the other prizes for the draw !! every little helps towards fundraising for our 3 charities this year MND University Hospital North Midland Charity British Heart Foundation 2) This is NOT just another Charity soul night.... .We DO emphasise the DAY/NIGHT aspect. of this long established annual event... get in EARLY if you can ... meet friends and acquaintances old and new..enjoy the separate bar and lounge area along with a fabulous alfresco space.. 3) with that in mind allow me to mention the car park onsite tends to fill up early, if you intend to get there later you may want to try in the first instance Once the venue car park is full..there is plenty of roadside parking outside the venue and surrounding roads and side roads Alternatively...there are 2 car parks approx 5 mins walk from the venue Antrobus Street, CW12 1HB West Street, CW12 1JR 4) travelling by car ? Easy access...under 20 mins from J17 and J18 M6....its a picturesque venue in a unique setting in South Cheshire

    Is that because he's confident in the quality of his choices and doesn't need to impress with a list of 5K records....oh wait a minute...thats another thread
  17. Jez Jones
    But what if the DJ plays affordable records you aint got and therefore can't play at home...winner winner innit ?
  18. Jez Jones
    or Carl Cox
  19. Jez Jones
    thing is...there must be lots of great allnighter tunes at affordable prices...its just they probably dont get played. How can a DJ stand out from the crowd (and yes there is a crowd of DJ's out there) by playing affordable records.....

    Ive been asked what is 'hybrid' about it... well let me explain..it really is a simple and exciting concept With the invaluable help from the East Midlands connection and the 'trusty' backing of the Follow The Music Not the Crowd gang we have managed to put together a package we think is unique and worthy of such a long standing and revered occasion Historically its been a long running fundraising event first established in 2008 at the Ryan Hall in Tunstall...... over the years ...raising well nigh on £35000 from its generous patrons More details to follow but make a 'placeholder' in your diaries for this new/improved format . A format to savour !!! *A hybrid of those sounds of 'today' delivered with aplomb from the firmly established FTMNTC team and guests.. widely acknowledged as delivering challenging and adventurous playlists whilst also attracting some of the most forward thinking and adventurous DJ's around..... *Mixed in expertly with those fabulous sounds from that bygone era as classmates of 72 we all adored--- all played by a group of chaps who were actually there and have that recall of those sounds from back in the day So a 10hrs mix of the past and present...packaged in a long established charity fundraiser something to look forward to !!!

    Right its just a few weeks to go ....best get the game face on !! Firstly I just want to put into context the whole CO72/CO23 event/happening This really isn't just ANY 'reunion' event This isn't is a reunion/anniversary type event.. where the money goes into the bulging pockets of the promoters as they greet you with a beaming smile at the door.(.Turkey teeth and all (so don't be confused ) YEAH you know the ones ******** ALL PROFITS GO TO CHARITY **************** Everyone involved in this event is offering their valuable services for free....to maximise the charitable contributions CO72 itself has been in existence for many years...quietly going about its business of donating to charities and having a 'whale' of a time in the process !! The ORIGINAL and best annual 'era' event raising nearly £35,000 for charity since 2008 Your £10 entrance goes to charity guaranteed !!!! Be safe and secure in the thought...your generosity will be making a difference !! we wont have your pants down !!!!

    ..It was a real joy as an enthusiast to hear such a range of music , constantly oozing quality..never dipping below a high bar that is set... I had warned prospective attendees , dont be late , we dont do warm up spots....and so it was...Deans first record (one of Otis Leavills on Dakar) at 7.02pm was in my very humble opinion gonna stand up well with anything else played during the whole night A vibrant club house welcomed us all and it was a real good vibe down at the Cricket Club on Saturday night Next up down there for us in October is the hybrid CO23/CO72 annual fundraiser for charity....now in its 15th year and boasting a fabulous total of near on £35k in charity donations since its inception ..with a new and improved format to stimulate music variety ...not to be missed...always a great social day out Then Mark Dobson another local lad is making a welcome return to our decks in November
  23. Jez Jones

    Again a final quick reminder...we have a dedicated sales space where enthusiasts can bring records for sale or peruse any record sales available..its great for enthusiasts to congregate !!
  24. Jez Jones

    Upcoming 'menu' for the evening's musical excursion 7pm till 12.30am NB The resident collector/dj's will be providing support throughout the evening...giving a FULL five and half hrs !!! of non stop musical fayre Featured appearances from Dean Broadhurst..7:00 - 7:45 James Elliott .....9:30 - 10:30 Tim Ashibende..10:30 -11:30 Tell your chums..its looking good to go !!
  25. Jez Jones

    IT'S A FIRST !!! ...that Dean ,Tim. James and have DJ'd together for us at FTMNTC....'local boys come good' is certainly a great description !! there is more than a sniff of curiosity as we 'smash' through the 2000 views barrier on here !! The 'chaps' I'm sure will bring a fresh and dynamic selection of music for us......as they share their tastes ''Music is the stake in the ground — ‘this is who I am' and this is 'what I like'' There's an 'air of excitement' as we near our end of summer event here at Congleton Cricket Club. Exceptional late Summer weather has enabled the grounds to be a a full and lush shade of green... You will notice a more than just a tenuous link as we prepare for Saturdays musical experience,,whereby we can look forward to an evening appealing to the senses with the lush sounds of our beloved music Try and get their early...we start at 7pm.....No really ...Dean will be up and running at 7pm.......we dont do warm up slots here I'm afraid...............
