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. Kev

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

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

So sorry to hear this news, please pass on our condolences to the family. Kev & Gloria Bourne Wellingborough

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. Kev Bourne
