A massive thank you from all at YKSoul to those who attended and supported the fund raising event in aid of the Clifton Park Development Fund on 06 September at St John’s College, York. A total of over £750 was raised.

YKSoul would like to give special thank you’s to both Mitrefinch for lending us the projector’s (Cheers Annie) and to John Funnell and Visions for lending us the decks and the sound system for the night. Much appreciated.

Thanks also to Mark Inman (Clifton Park Development Fund) for manning the entrance all night, a thankless task but somebody’s got to do it and he really enjoyed talking to all our guests.

YKSoul has now raised over £42,000 since forming, for a variety of Charities and long may they reign.

A massive thank you to our special guest DJ's on the night, Stu Richards, who once more treated us to his extensive and rare collection as you’ll see when he posts his playlist soon.

Also Paul Thomas-Peter, who by his own admission found it rewarding to say the least and kept the floor full with his own brand of magic. Thanks to you both for giving of your time so freely.

Our ladies Ange and Marie, did another marvelous job with the raffle bucket but as yet we don’t have the final figure for that.

Simon Wragg, our VJ once again performed with the projectors and kept the non-dancing customers transfixed with his video show.

We had a lovely lady named Adele in night who had returned from London after an absence of 15 years. She still recognised a few people, although she was sad that she didn’t get to see our very own Trevski, so she asked Steve of YKSoul to pass on her best. (Job done).

YKSoul would also like to wish Sharon Bowman a speedy recovery, as Steve seemed to be totally lost without her by his side...lol. Nice to see you mate. (He was a very happy little teddy last night as his beloved team had won... forgot the name of them but it’ll come to me... lol).

The photo’s from the night, along with many other YKSoul events can be viewed here, so pay this a visit!  http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m62/yksoul/StJohns060908/

YKSoul’s next function will be on 10 October 2008 which is a Motown night in aid of Cancer Research UK at the Post Office WMC. This had become an annual event at ‘the Bop’ (New Earswick Folk Hall), but due to circumstances beyond our control we have changed the venue so you won’t have to travel far. This event is normally a sell-out and is restricted to 150 so get your tickets soon.
