I think Tes has made a fair point, and asked a fair question.

If an event has been advertised as all profits going to charity which is highly commendable gesture, then it's reasonable to expect that to be the case. I've checked on the events lookback thread, and unless I've misunderstood, a total of 567 pounds was made from the raffle and CD sales, and that's the amount now held pending a decision on the charity. I couldn't find any mention of other profits made from the 600 attendees who each paid 6 pounds entry.

First of all we have stated in our website on all these issues, but now we are here we will explain to you all.

Short Breakdown

Total outgoing £3,355.00

Total incoming £3,566.00

Total for 2010 Charities is £642.00 due to selling 15 more CDs through website and at Bury (at our cost)

Total now at £652.00 due to sale of another couple of CDs

Also the 40CDs we sold on the day with the car stickers was also at our cost.

All CDs at our cost.

Advertising throughout the year for this event does not come cheap, we had 2 big adverts in Manifesto and another big advert in the Bridlington mag, then there is the flyers, it costs us around £20.00 in ink to run 200 off and i must have sent out over the year 10,000 flyers, we have not accounted for them all, so something else at our cost.

Kitty for 2010 All-Dayer £183.00, this came about by one DJ who never turned up on the day through illness.

Please Remember at OUR COSTS:

TIME throughout the year promoting this event, making flyers & tickets, free badges, free car stickers and not to mention the numerous phonecalls and meetings with venue staff.

Myself & Gloria have worked very hard to get this all-dayer where it is today, and we should not have to come on our website and explain our actions, but when we have allegations being said behind our backs, we have no choice.

Costs: Venue hire, DJs, Sound Systems, Security & Door, Advertising, Hotel, Wristbands, Ink & Paper, Stamps, Envelopes & Deposit for 2010 venue.

We just wanted to put the record straight before anyone else makes any more allegations.

Regards

Kev & Gloria Bourne

The point is you used SOUL SCOURCE well enough to promote your event for CANCER RESEARCH/RELIEF........then don't bother to use SOUL SCOURCE to tell all the soulies that went.........that in essence.......there is NO money for CANCER RESEARCH/RELIEF .....AS IT ALL WENT ON ADMINISTRATION......well there we have it 600 punters no money fair enough that will deffo put many peoples minds to rest ....is that the same for BARNSTABLE? which l believe was a sell out.........atb keep up the good work tezza

Look in lookbacks

No need for a negative tone mate,just asking a question......you advertised heavily on SOUL SOURCE at every opertunity for your event nowt wrong with that and it clearly said all profits for CANCER RELIEF/RESEARCH.....yet after 6 weeks...nothing about it,til you are prompted......by the way looking at the pictures it looked great,not seen a place that packed for years and friends of mine that did go said it was a blinding day.....we were going to come,but l woke up with a bad headache that wouldn't go away......atb tezza

Not been negative, put all the details in the website over it, as there were rumors going around that we made thousands from the event, First i have never run a event as a business, like i said i put all the details in our website, to run an event that size does not come cheap and to tell you the truth we only just covered the costs, with a little over which will go towards the final balance on the venue.

You can believe it or not that is your choice, but as we have said in the website all you have to do is ring me and i will give you a breakdown of the cost for such an event.

Now my aim is for next year i hope is to make a large sum for the 2 charities and we now have £652.00 at the moment, my target is £2,000 plus.

£652 was raised through the raffle ....which was a totally seperate issue.The alldayer promotion clearly stated that all PROFITS were to go to CANCER RELIEF/RESEARCH and l do believe there was a large banner at the event stating this.6 WEEKS have passed and the amount of funds from the PROFITS have not been posted.....why not? thats all

First of all what has it got to do with you? you were not even there,don't know why we have to explain on here when we have explained it all in the website.

Can,t seem to find the thread telling us how much money was raised for CANCER RESEARCH/RELIEF ...seems it was a brilliant day and lots of positive comments. Over 600+ peeps attending.....must have raised a lot of money for this great charity,maybe it was reported in the local paper? could someone post a clip if it was reported. Sure lots of people who attended would be pleased to know........again great job by the promoters atb Tezza

Hi Tezza,

If you look in lookbacks for the all-dayer you will see what was decided over the money raised on the day or go into the website and that will keep you informed of events.

First of all we would like to say a big thank you to you all for supporting this event and the kind remarks we have received, A BIG THANK YOU.

But at the moment our thoughts are with Julie & family, we have just spoken to Julie and she has informed me to let you all know of the tragic circumstances.

Mark Rubenzer aged 44 died of massive heart attack and there would have been nothing that anybody could have done to save him, but Julie would like to thank all those involved in their efforts to try and save him. Julie also stated that Mark was having a good time surrounded by all his friends and his love of the music.

We have also just come back from a meeting with the management at the Castle over next years event which will take place on the 21st August 2010, as you know this event was going to be in memory of June Leighton who sadly passed away this year and all profits going to Cransley Hospice, but after the tragic circumstances of this year, this also must go ahead in Memory of Mark as well, and to the charity that Julie decides.

We raised this year through the Raffle and the All-Dayer CD in the region of £500.00 as we actually ran out of raffle tickets, will give you the correct amount soon, and we would like to say a big thank you, now i have thought hard & long over the last day and have decided to put the money into a separate high interest account to make money, this will then go with next years amount and be split between the 2 Charities.

Next year we expect more that would like to come, but we are going to cap it at 600 and tickets will go on sale in the website soon. www.freewebs.com/soulinthehind

Kind regards

Kev & Gloria Bourne

Now the total on the day raised was £537.00, but this has now gone up to £652.00 due to selling the Wellingborough All-Dayer CD from the Website, Bury Masonic and at Barnstaple Weekender, this is kept updated in the website for you to see.

Why we are here we have just received confirmation from Cancer research of the money we raised at the Barnstaple Weekender and this will be put into the website later today.

We know that Alan's charity next year will be Cransley Hospice which is part of the cancer research organization and i will contact Julie at a later date to find which charity she wishes to use.

Blimey Steve this thread is thowing up some names from the past--hope they all going to the Reunion

Hi Jez,

Looking forward to the 24th October, should be a great day, had some original material sent to me and have put this in our website in the Torch thread CLICK HERE

See you soon

Kev

Last truly great all dayer I attended would have been Whitchurch or the Ritz circa '74 - '75.

Don't think I've been to any since. Went to a Soul Night at Whitchurch about ten years ago and couldn't believe that it was the same venue. I seem to recall it being massive when the dayers were on but it was in fact much smaller than I remembered. Happy days

I remember Whitchurch all - dayers in the early 70s with in the region of 3,000 attending and the dance competition taking place on the massive stage, if i remember right they took place on the bank holiday Monday from 12 till midnight.

Great memories.

Kev

Woody has asked if I would put this post on, as understandably he isn't upto it today.

Sadly today at 3.15am our dear soul friend Linda passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Such a soulful gentle Lady ,I am sure she will be missed by everyone. A dear friend Yocky and I will dearly miss.

I will update this post as soon as Dave gets back to me with the Funeral arrangements. Everybody is welcome.

Please feel free to add to this thread any kind words as a tribute to Linda.

Love to you all Jx

So sorry to hear this news, please pass on our condolences to the family.

Now is the time for Andy and Tracey to come on here and explain exactly what they intend to do about refunding those who have no interest in coming to Nottingham on a Bank Holiday Monday other than to see LAI - which would include the two somewhat elderly gentlemen who would have been accompanying me soleley for that purpose, and who otherwise could care less about attending an all-dayer.

It would also include my two mates from Holland who went ahead, earlier this week, and booked their flights to come over, basically on my assurance that both this event, and the promoters, were on the square.

And when I say, now, I mean now.

And when I say them, I mean them, not one of the many who seem only too happy to speak on their behalf...

It is such a shame that LAI are not coming over, but when you promote something on this scale you must have the back up resources to carry it through, you just cannot pull the plug at the last minute and hope everything is fine, that does not happen.

Now i know your intentions of bringing LAI to the UK were fantastic and myself was looking forward to it as so was a lot of other people and from past expereince most of the ticket sales do come in the last couple of weeks, that is why you need the back up just in case it all goes wrong, other wise do not try it, leave it to the big promoters who can and will have the back up resources.

The best thing you can do now is to come on this thread and hold your hands up and explain the situation and give them details of refunds etc.
