The 80's Night
The Facebook home for the legendary 80's Night, once held at Laughtons, Whitby
Merry Merrymess!
A huge Thank You to all those who came and sweated (we turned the heating off honest!) The Elephant got the better of you, lol! We hope you liked the stamp :)
Tomorrow!! It’s tomorrow!!!
Remember, we are now taking both cash, and card at the front door, and are expecting a queue!
Nellie is here!!!
We have a provisional date for April so if you’re thinking of heading to Whitby, this is when we’ll be here
It’s up!! Together with authentic weather and excessive fog machine!! Signpost for scale 😇
All the info you really need for your trip to Whitby 😉 It’s Landmine only this time, Kat hopes to be back giving orders in April 👸🏻
Oh, good morning Mr Tyler. Going …….up?
When is everyone setting off? Anyone here already? 1 week to go!!!
Two weeks to go!!!
Dust off those dancing shoes!!
4 weeks to go! Better start training now 😛
Fear not, faithful followers!
While you may have seen the news that there will no longer be Tomorrow's Ghosts events at the Spa in forthcoming Aprils, Team Not A Democracy are still planning on having our seaside holiday.
Planning to be in town, we are therefore aiming to go ahead with The 80's Night in April 2024 if we can, to see if it's viable without a Spa event.
Don't put away your pom-poms just yet!
Ouch!
Thank You! 💜🖤 Thank You! 💜🖤 Thank You! 💜🖤
Further posts will be made when we recover!
Not bad in here 😉 See you all at 7pm!
Stand and Deliver!💷
INCOMING! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Just in case people haven’t noticed…… 😉
Only one week to go! Please get your requests in now……. so we can ignore them earlier than usual 😉 💜
Just a reminder for the folks planning to come to The 80s Night in
Whitby at the end of the month - the bar takes cards, but it's cash
only on the door, so save up your pound coins for that retro
experience
Two weeks until we dust off the decks and make you SWEAT!
The sound of the elephant is getting closer!
It’s now 4 weeks til we break out the skipping rope! You’ve got a month to get ready 😉
Awooga! Awooga! One month to go you lovely people!
Thank you for your patience, everyone!
It's been a nerve-racking time for us too, but we can now announce that, with the help of the staff at the Royal Hotel on West Cliff, we will be once again in a new venue - but one of the few in Whitby with a proper dancefloor as well as a bar - the ballroom of the Royal Hotel!
In order to take place at the hotel, the event will be an especially distilled four-hour version, but on the upside it means it might be possible to get a pizza afterwards and there's a remote possibility that we will just about be able to move on Monday morning without wincing too much. Maybe. (We make no promises!)
This is the first event that The 80s Night crew are promoting entirely ourselves, and is a trial event for both us and the hotel so, please, come along, dance, drink, and have a good time.
Apologies for the lack of an update here for a while. As you will remember, we were intending to be at the-venue-formerly-known-as-RAW
again this time.
Unfortunately, the refit that the new owners have had to carry out for their business use of the venue has meant that it's no longer suitable for The 80s Night, so we recently agreed that we would have to look for another venue.
Wheels are currently turning, and we'll let you know more when they're finalised. Apologies for the lack of concrete update, and thanks again for all of your support.
(In the meantime, feel free to pop into The Crafty Cove for a coffee and some shopping.)
Having deciphered his DJ-booth scrawl, Landmine has now managed to type up the setlists from this time around, so if anyone's interested in finding out whatever the heck it was they were dancing to, they can discover that here:
Thank you to everyone who came to The 80s Night (and/or The After Party) on Sunday night at RAW.
We hope that you all had as good a time as we did, and we look forward to seeing you back at RAW in its new incarnation in April - it's all of you who make the night what it is!
As an additional note, some folk who were at some of the Whitby events this last weekend have since tested positive for Covid, which may initially present as a cold, so if you start feeling a bit under the weather, we recommend doing a test.
Take care out there, everyone!
Just a quick reminder!
RAW is Cashless, so remember to bring phone, card, Apple Watch or another way of making a machine go *boop* in return for entry and/or tasty treats!
However, Bitz n Pizza, and Porto Pizza are both apparently *Cash Only* so you will need some with you for food during or after the events!
As it is a long night, we will be allowing re-entry (up until 2) just make sure you notify a member of doorstaff or myself (Jaye) and we’ll draw on your hand or give you a stamp just so we know when you come back!
So close now!!!!
How's the packing going?
Are you:
a) doing it beforehand?
or b) throwing everything and the kitchen sink in the bag the day before?
3 weeks to go!! 3 weeks to go!!!
