Is that the latest spin on the numbers for a nighter? What is it with big event promoters and their Sureal mathamatics

Mick Maguire was at the first one. Don't think he's on here but will mention it to him. Andy Etheridge, another guy from Norfolk, attended the last one in Dec 81. He's on here but can't remember his user name. Will try and find him. 

 

I was at the "official" last one in Sep 81 but guess that doesn't count...

Here's the badge patch for the last all-nighter held at The Casino in september 1981:

 

It's attached to my skiing jacket I bought in 1973.  It's still in good nick!
