Rugby Soul Club

Oh my, was that a hot one. :-O We had every exit open, all the windows & even brought in extra industrial fans. Sorry to the first arrivals who had to witness me having a funny turn in the heat & thank you to Dean who was trying to fan me & return me to my "normal" bouncy self :-D I do secretly love the ones who now arrive before we open :-) June, if the weather is nice, is usually a slow starter, so it was nice that the ones taking advantage of the early doors discount came in thick and fast. My new door ladies - Tone Deaf-Monkey & Phil Shields, did a sterling job. That does not mean that Idell & Carol are off the hook. :-O It was lovely to see our loyal supporters & as ever, some Rugby virgins :-) A few old friends who I don't get to see very often was also a treat. Defo not our busiest but a healthy crowd & as one lady said, anymore and we'd have died in the heat :-D So, last but by no means least, the DJ's who kept dragging us up to dance in that mental heat. :-O Kenneth Aitchison, Dave Rimmer, Phil Shields (great to see you back on form), Chic, Dick Kropniewski, Steve Grubb, Ian Jackson, Ian James, Alan Jenkins, Les Norman, Don "Mopsey" Morris, John Muir, Tom Philly Groove, Soul Sam & Craig Swifty Simpson A nice, long summer break now to recharge our batteries...or in other words...83 sleeps

Omg, I knew I was shattered after Saturday but I have been in bed & mostly slept for 20 out of the last 24 hours. I couldn't write a proper thank you and review on my phone but I'm back now We had our highest ever numbers for the anniversary, so you just don't know at the following event. It was also a lovely day which to the allniter world means you have a few drinks in the day & can't make the night Idell & I were so organised with the door set up that we sat outside on the wall, in the warmth, waiting for our first guests to arrive at 7.10pm :-D Yes, we open at 8pm but this is part of Rugby now. We had a good, steady flow of people and a few times, I was even able to say "no pushing at the back" I think a very good attendance was achieved. So, now to the important part, the thank yous. The punters, I put first because how ever amazing the DJs are, without the punters, we would be nothing. The DJs, although second in line, pull in the punters, so without them, we would also be nothing... Kenneth, Dave & Phil, our amazing residents. Tom, our resident in waiting (Dave understands the joke). David Abbott, Mark Bicknell, Pat Bleasdale, Mick Cooper, Dazz Dakin, Nerrad Nikad, Calvin Lee Hughes, Wayne Napier-Gibbins, Kris Sikora, Rob Smith, Jordan Wilson & Billy Whizz. Last but by no means least, my fabulous door staff, Idell, Carol & Michael Tabs. If the DJs would like to post their playlists, please do so. Or even a taster of what they played 68 sleeps til our June swoon on 17th June. Hopefully I will have recovered by then

Oops, sorry Geoff, I missed your post. But now you know what a lovely floor we have
