Guest Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) In the light of the upcoming WC revival / anniversary night to be held in the Station Road cafe arcade , it got me thinking ....... In respect of staging revivals / anniversaries etc . such as the above , on the site of where former glories were , I am contemplating doing a 35th " since it closed " anniversary of a venue , by hiring a car cark the venue once stood on , and erecting a marquee on it to house the revellers ......... In respect of the utilisation of the cafe and the arcade that houses it , can be accepted as de riguer ( " Backdrop and a riker baguette please " ) , I feel I may be onto a winner with this one ...... If I go ahead , I will have to source a horse whose owner is willing for it to be kept awake all night ......... As well as sedating the people across the road , some of whom still - after 35 years - bear a grudge ......... Malc Burton Edited August 29, 2008 by Malc Burton
Mach Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 good idea Malc....only problem is you,d have to hire about 3 carparks...because 50000 people would turn up all proclaiming to be Casino members. or which ever club (its now the fashionable thing) but as we regulars know a few trick questions soon finds them out

Guest Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 "penny,s dropped " . I am seriously contemplating doing this event : the only problem may lie in convincing the people acroos from the site , especially the old chap who collered me last year when I was taking photographs , who upon telling him what I was doing and why , replied " so you are one of those bastards who kept us awake all night " ....... Still , what is life - especially the life of the promoter - without a challenge ? ......... Malc Burton

Malc Burton sounds like it could be an intresting project Malc,and no doubt would attract plenty of support on here..ATB.if you decide to go for it...Chris
macca Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 The neighbour problem could be sorted fairly easily Malc. Invite them. Free pints (vouchers presented at the bar?) & a nice commemorative glass, beer festival style. It'd be extremely rude of them to turn you down. The place you have in mind (I think) is an entirely different egg, untainted by 'authoritative film documentaries' and corporate record labels pushing titles by artists with names like 'The All Night Band' (I shudder)... I was born 2 or 3 years too late, sadly. M

What started as a TIC posting , could now end up being a reality : watch this space as they say ....... Malc Burton
