Sharon-Again you`ve hit the nail on the head. Exactly what we were talking about last night.

So THAT`S why you and Wendy hardly come to our place anymore, mate.. BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS: Everyone`s welcome at our place-whatever type of person. Imagine if you could have a party in your front room at home and could invite a maximum 120 people! But only 50 on average turn up. That`s how we run it. Party, party ,party....Relaxed laid back atmosphere..great dance floor..friendly hosts people and atmosphere On average I lose money running Barrow Hill after paying the DJ`S-paying for the room-paying for a few drinks-paying for a taxi home. Works out like a cheap night out. Never expected to make much money, if any at all. A chance to play different across the board sounds with no rules along with stuff that people know-no pressure- we encourage all our guest dj`s to do the same. This venue will be around for a long long time...we do it because we love to do it- and for the love of it.

My card was black and dark yellow. I had to reinforce it with sellotape after long to stop it falling apart....

Used to attend Keele in the early nineties whenever i could-got most of the patches. Once went from Rotherham with a guy who worked for British Rail on the trains. We got off a stop too early. Then we started hitchhiking whilst "under the influence". He didn`t know where he was going either. Got stopped by the police-two suspicious characters carrying holdalls in the dead of night...After being searched we asked for a lift into the next village..and a got a police escort back to the PREVIOUS village-fascists! Arrived about ten minutes before Keele closed then made our way back to Crewe train station- down the hill that lasts forever if you`re walking....happy days though-funny as fukc....

Hope you enjoyed it, Mandy? We had a great time and we`d love to see you there again....

Didn`t they change the colour of the membership card? To Yellow and Black? BTW I remember having to wrap sellotape round the card to strengthen it as it was falling apart. Can`t find the card-I`m sure it`s hanging around somewhere. If I find it I`ll scan it or take a photo and post it up. Great nighter-one of the best.

That`s one of the few anniversary patches I`ve never had!

Agreed. But I`d say it`s MUCH better than this! Nice- with a great stomping chorus. The scooter crowd should like it along with "And I Say To Myself"
