Solid's 21st Birthday Bonanza Weekend! Thursday 25th - Sunday 28th September 2008

Just to give everyone a heads up, in a mere 6 weeks, the solid will be 21 years old. (On the same day I'm 25! )

In finest tradition we'll be going completely over the top in celebration.

Things booked up/happening so far...

* Limousine full of complimentary Champagne (real champagne mind!) will be ferrying folk we like about town on Friday night and all day Saturday getting you suitably merry.

* We'll be having a day of 1987 bar prices as a thank you to all our regular customers over the years. Obviously to stop every jakie in the town descending upon us this will be ticket/invite only, although myself or Kenny will be on the door all night and if we recognise your coupon, you'll probably be allowed in. This will probably be on Thursday the 25th.

* We'll be having our traditional top 100 countdown, probably on the Saturday (27th). With lots of fab prizes and the usual giveaways.

* Weather permitting there will be a barbeque running all weekend (regardless of weather!). Food will be free, although we will ask for an optional donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, a charity very close to our hearts.

* We've somehow acquired the use of a pipe band for the day (on Saturday I think) So if you're anywhere in the town centre you can probably enjoy that! A performance of AC/DC's "long way to the top" will be mandatory.

We're looking into hiring a band for the Sunday, more info to follow on that.

Prizes we have lined up so far are:

2x Ipod Video
2x Nintendo Wii
1x Mountain Bike?!
1x Trip of a lifetime type thing (no exact details on this, but this prize will be worth in the region of £4000-£5000)
4x £500 cash spot prize

Oh aye, we've got a 'Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny' one of a kind hand painted in LA Leather jacket to give away as well. I'll get a pic up when I can. It's the SEX.

We're also having a look at getting a Solid liveried Scooter or Motorbike to give away.

Obviously a few of these prizes might change slighty as we iron out the minor details, but it's certainly a weekend not to be missed!

So get on the phones to your bosses and make sure you've got the whole of Friday and Monday (It's a bank holiday so you should be alright).

Arrange care for any kids and pets and come let your hair down!

Who's daein' it?

Re: Solid's 21st Birthday Bonanza Weekend! THursday 26th - Sunday 29th September 2008

Can we not get some Status Quo - Rocking All Over The World on bagpipes? I've heard it once before and it was awesome.

But aye I might pop in for a few or 20. Sounds like a good line up of stuff.

Journey - Don't Stop Believing better be in yer top 100.

The pipe band are open to practical suggestions for songs as long as they have some time to learn them obviously.

I'm sure Don't stop Believing will be in there, it's all the kids ask for these days!

Did I ever mention how much I liked you and Kenny?

Will definitely be in for a bit on the Thursday and Friday.

You know what would be awesome. Everyone who proved they are 21 (the same age as the Solid) should get a free drink!!

It'd be even better if folk who shared the Solid's birthday got free booze all weekend.

Not terribly important, but is thursday not the 25th? And sunday the 28th?

Sounds grand anyway.
