I dont know what to say really Pete, but i do know the choice of soul nights in your area is quite plentiful. perhaps this is a factor ? whatever it is, thanks for putting on this friendly event , i went a handful of times and i was looking forward to sharing the decks with Glynn at the July date, sadly now not to be.

all the best for the future, hope to catch up with you soon.

Hi Pete

Enjoy your time `just` being a punter! Sorry to hear your news and how upset you are. As you know we were regulars at Bentinck in the `early` days and due to our personal reasons we haven`t been attending local venues for a good while now (albeit the odd one or two occasionally)but have some good memories of Bentinck in its heyday and how popular it was.

Hope to see you out and about sometime.

Take care X

Sharon and Chris
