RARE SOUL WEEKENDER 2008
After two successful weekenders Lifeline is returning to the Ye Old Bell in 2008 for the third (this will also be Lifelines 4th Anniversary).  The weekender will be held on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd of February 2008.
 
The line up will again feature some of the world’s premier Soul DJ’s. As well as the usual Lifeline residents, Butch, Andy Dyson, Mick H, Chalky, Cliff Steele and Soul Sam, guests including Dean Anderson, Kitch, Steve Guanori, Tim Brown, Arthur Fenn & Andy Whitmore and others to be confirmed, will be spinning the finest soul from the 60’s and 70’s with maybe the odd 80’s and funk flavoured discs also getting an airing.
 
If you’re lucky enough to have a room in the Hotel (this is now sold out) the cost remains the same as last year £110, still a bargain in our opinions to spend a weekend listening to the finest soul spinners spinning the finest soul on vinyl (or styrene) in the world!   Balances are now due so get your monies in or you could lose your room if we don’t hear from you.  Any problems get in touch!!!
 
For those who are unfortunately not in the Hotel venue further accommodation can be found in Retford.  Look at the following for details of hotels etc in Retford http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/retford.html or there is a Travel Lodge just 2 or 3 miles away at Blyth Services which many have used in the past with good rates, the address is Travelodge Blyth, A1 (M) Moto Service Area A1(M), Hilltop Roundabout, Notts, Blyth,  S81 8HG telephone number is 0871 666 4 333 for reservations or you can do it all online at http://www.travel-lodge-travel- lodge.co.uk/ just do a search once on their page for Blyth.
 
Weekender passes will be available t the price they have been for the last two years of £35.  This entitles you to all the music sessions which start at 12 noon both days and run right through until 6am on the Saturday and Sunday mornings.  There is also a Sunday afternoon session to finish off the weekend.
 
The afternoon sessions on the Friday and Saturday have in the past been thrown open to anyone who wishes to do a set.  The same will happen again in February so anyone who wishes to play a few tunes to an appreciative audience get in touch with myself or Andy.  Obviously these are limited and will be on a first come first serve basis.

RARE SOUL WEEKENDER 2007
After the great success of the first Lifeline Weekender held in February 2006, you will be pleased to know that we are going to hold another in 2007! The dates are February 9th, 10th and 11th 2007. The line up will again feature some of the worlds premier Soul DJ’s. As well as the usual Lifeline residents, Butch, Andy Dyson, Mick H, Chalky, Cliff Steele and Soul Sam, guests including Dean Anderson, Kitch, Tim Brown, Arthur Fenn & Andy Whitmore and others to be confirmed, will be spinning the finest soul from the 60’s and 70’s with maybe the odd 80’s and funk flavoured discs also getting an airing. Unfortunately the hotel has increased their prices but only by £10 per person per weekend making a total cost of £110, still a bargain in our opinions to spend a weekend listening to the finest soul spinners spinning the finest soul on vinyl in the world!

All those who had rooms for the first weekender in February 2006 will be given first refusal of a room for the 2007 event. You will have until the end of July to pay your deposit (50% non-refundable, £55) to secure a room. If the deposit not paid then the room will be given to someone on the waiting list who have indicated they would like a room. The balance MUST be paid by November 1st or again the room will be released to someone on the waiting list. We have to be strict with the deadline for the balance to be paid because the hotel stipulates that we pay them the final payment for the use of the hotel for the weekend and we also spent too much time last year chasing late payers…these are the hotel rules not ours unfortunately so we have to be a little more stricter with this than we were last year. Demand for rooms is greater than what we can supply so it is best you pay your deposits/balances on time to avoid disappointment. If you can't get into the hotel then again weekend passes will be available at £35 with plenty of acomadation close by.

Payment... Cash, postal orders are the preferred option but if you wish to pay by cheque make payable to Karl White. All monies to be sent to...
