Decent size venue with a good dancefloor, well stocked bar with friendly staff and good mix of tunes from the DJs.

Seems the sound system suffered a bit of transit damage, but still a good night with a busy floor.. 

A big thankyou to everybody who turned out for this Tamla themed event, friends old and new, not forgetting the DJs for making this according to the feedback on the door "another quality night out."

Our annual 'every penny goes to charity 10 hour all-dayer' moves from August in 2024 to Saturday 12th October and this year all monies will be split between Notts City Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Nottingham Hospitals Charity number #1165397) & Crohn's & Colitis UK (Charity number #1117148)

I am both blown away and overwhelmed by the generosity displayed tonight at Cotgrave northern soul alldayer. When we left, the money donated had topped £1500.

The donation is, as you know, for a very worthy cause, Hayward House. This is a charity close to my heart, as it is the place my mum nursed for over 20 years, but also the place my dad received his end of life care. His care and the support for my family was incredible. 

Thankyou to the driving beat team for firstly giving me the opportunity to suggest the charity, but secondly for their hard work to ensure the event was a success. 

Thankyou to all the djs for giving their time and expertise, but  most importantly  to you, the northern soul community  for turning out and digging deep. You have my upmost respect and gratitude. 

Cathy C

Thanks Cathy for the review, we are already working on 'Every penny goes to Charity #12'

Have to agree Mick
