Not sure why you posted "each to his own"? but I did post "no contest" because we were in Mojacar,Spain, last year and really enjoyed the weekender along with great deejays,music and fellow soulies all topped off with superb weather,the organisers also published this year's dates almost nine months ago which gives prospective attendees the chance to make plans,book flights etc.which is great.
Not doin down your event whatsoever,we did the annual Prestatyn northern and modern weekender this year as we have done most years and are disappointed that it was the last,we wish you all the best with this new event in Southport.
Oh,almost missed this out,I refer to WE,this is me and the wife,she has been at my side on EVERY rare/northern event since 1997,so the "his own" statement slightly out.
Peace and best wishes,John Elias.
