I hear that the promoters of this night are quite aggressive when in town. They'll put a poster up on your building, and then when they see you take it down (no permission asked), the poster putter upper threatens to "rip your face off" if he sees you take another one down...
will the night itself be this relaxed??

And so small he wouldn't say boo to a goose.
Howevever I think I know where this source comes from *cough Dempsey's cough*.

You see they were VERY VERY upset when posters went up outside their venue. So much so they were ripped down within minutes of going up.

And I know for a fact that Bruce wouldn't ever get upset at that fact, it's not in his nature.

Sorry but the source of your 'agression' rumour must either have been telling porkies or has been fibbed to him/herself.

Either way - yes the night is gonna be wicked, fun and friendly - come down and you'll see!

Late G? Bar by any chance?.

You not comfortable enough with your sexuality then ZEDEX48K to enjoy a good night out regardless of who the actual night is aimed at?

Would it interest you to know I am married and I'll be there?
Just because it's an LGB night, doesn't mean you can't go and have a laugh.

Come on down, you might have fun!

Nothing to do with Dempseys I'm afriad - it was more local to Takapuna, ie, Division Street. He was totally rude and overly aggressive, and really not the way to treat neighbours in the same business. But I do now hear that Bruce (who wouldn't provide his name at the time when asked) apologised to the person involved the day after, but in my mind, it leaves a sour taste of how Takapuna and its associates go about their business.

Do Dumpseys realy see you as competition ?
Your only doing one day a week, and it's not a weekend.
Perhaps if you were doing the weekend (which would be nice) they should be worrying,
I'ts not a difficult decision to make "flea-pit at the bottom of the Moor that smells of chip fat" or "Clean, new, modern, stylish bar on West Street".

I'd never been to a Gay Pub/Club until i moved to Sheffield... I was always told about the good atmosphere... As in the past i have had gay friends...

I went to Climax for the first time back in July with my partner and we really enjoyed ourselves... It was a great night out fab atmosphere so free... Now we go every month...

A gay Club is where gay people can express themselves freely without people getting funny about their sexuality... You will always find a good mix of Bi / Gay / Hetro people in a gay club...

Why deny yourself a great night out because it has the word 'Gay' in a title... :)

I express myself freely anywhere.

I just wanted to add, there are loads of great pubs in Sheffield. Don't deny yourself a great night out because "gay" isn't in the title either.

Good luck with your opening night guys.

Again I find this very very difficult to believe however I wont call you a liar I will query this with Bruce and report back my findings.
It would help if you supplied me with your source (in confidence) via PM.

Bruce even when drunk wouldn't say that sort of thing to anyone, it's not in any way shape or form his nature.
you'd be able to tell by looking at him that he wouldn't capable of such threats.

However I will be taking this up and I appriate it being brought to my attention.

Ali - I'm thoroughly gutted.
Come on down anyway and I'll introduce you to the peeps.
Everyone is really cool and a good laugh.

Had to roll up Bruces tongue from the floor last night after you left bless him. You made an impression I think.
Reminded him of his girlfriend which seemed to get his mind back on track.

Good seeing you anyway last night!
Hope the night last night wasn't too 'Gash' for you ;)

I wouldn't have thought so and we really didn't want to get there back up (but I think we have).
Also have discussed with Bruce and we are not going to put up posters outside there venue anymore.
In the interest of good relations n all that.

Perhaps you could print-up air fresheners with your logo and leave them laying around Dempseys, that would be a win-win situation.

Hi

I think I'm definatley going to go now but I'm wondering how dressed up to get? In London an LGB night can be very outrageous but I worry that Sheff will be shocked at some of the outfits in my wardrobe! My wardrobe consists of a mixture of Jodie Marsh's, Jordans & Paris Hilton!

Any ideas....?

I suppose you not everyone likes the same music.

ginamoi
12-11-2004, 18:48
well, I'm not personally a big fan of 70's 80's pop - it's viable once a month - but havin been the only gay clubby night out in sheffield for so long u'd expect them to play some more underground type music at least in one of the rooms

sparklesista
12-11-2004, 19:16
I like a bit of everything & I don't mind cheesy 70's, 80's or 90's pop! I like all different types of music, it just depends on my mood! I'm looking forward to going regardless as I've never been and the most important thing to me on a night out is the atmosphere. I'll let u know what I think of it after next Friday!!!

No worries Damo you looked rushed off ya feet to be honest... So your forgiven...

Likewise tho its nice to be able to put faces to people from the forum... was good chatting with ya even tho it was only for a short while...

Pauly & myself enjoyed the evening... (cant believe i missed the breakdancers) we will no doubt become familiar faces as of Climax :)

I'd also like to add that it was good to meet Kirk too... Cheers for the drink :)

Well that blonde lad is actually Ginger and 19 yrs old.
The drinks promo's are that good if you like the drinks that are on offer.

Jobs a good un.

I reckon this week will be the real tester. Last week was a little quiet due to bad weather and people saving for Climax the night after.

This week should be much better as the Climax crowd were hit by VIP flyers as they came out of the club and that should hopefully reel a few more people in. I'll be very surprised if it's not the busiest night so far for VIP @ Takapuna. :)

Fingers crossed. :)

Well me and my brother are off to Takapune tonight, he dont know yet, lol,

Is it free or do u have to pay ?

SpiderPete
26-11-2004, 18:34
Well I got my answer, it was free when we arrived.

Well what do we think to Takapuna ..... well we loved it, nice place, good music, nice atmosphere and no doubt we will be abck again.

Only problem is the drinks were bloody expensive.

Yeah that's the touble with city centre bars Peter - however I heard tonight that Dempsey's is also stupidly high priced for drink aint it?

Anyway it's either crappy VK bottles or nice Smirnoff (which are more expensive).
We've approached the subject with the management and they are keen to listen and take things like this forward.
However the event is very young so we have to play it by ear I'm afraid.

I have spoken with them today and apparantly there will be some good deals on Reef coming up.
There is still drinks offers on Budwieser and Arches Aqua (last night - £2 a bottle which for a trendy bar like that is good prices).

We'll see how we go and as the night gets more popular and the place fills up Takapuna can afford to put on special offers tailored to VIP.

Glad you enjoyed the night and if you got their before charging then you must have stayed a long time. Nice one :thumbsup:

SpiderPete

Dempseys charge about £2.20 a pint.

We were drinking a lager that was on offer, £1.80 a pint, cannot remember what it was, it was nice, then it went to £3, and it was /..... OMG .. lol. But we expected this for a pub on West Street.

Yes we got there for about 8.15 and we stayed to about 11.30ish.

The music kept us there and the pub is very trendy.

I am sure from what I saw it will get better when more people find out about it, and I did notice quite a few guys who normally go do Dempseys were there last night.

As I say u get what you pay for, and the layout of the pub and the seating etc etc is 100% better than we have had in Sheffield for a long time.

DaBouncer
26-11-2004, 19:33
That was Coors you were drinking for £1.80 a pint.
Good stuff that, shame the offer only lasts till 9pm :(

However as time progresses and the night gets more and more popular we have scope to negotiate the deals crowd are looking for.

Keep an eye out for the drinks offers stuck up around the bar area next time you come down and stick to them.

We'll find that happy medium believe me ;)

Glad you had a good night inside - I enjoyed standing on the front door for the majority of the evening :roll:

Don't ask anyone if they are on the Sheffield Forum!

I asked one guy if he was on the Forum because my other Forum buddy insisted she knew him and he didn't have a clue who I was talking about!

At least I won the bet though! :hihi:

On second thoughts....

Why don't you just announce over the mic for everyone on the Sheffield Forum to remain standing!

Then you will know the ones that are left are and the ones who have sat down aren't or either have a sore bum from not wanting to be seen standing! Lol! Hope that makes sense? :? :hihi:

Just to say I thought it was much better last night and a few forumers showed their faces. Sat in our little group was myself, Angel05, Deejay, Geno, thebodgie and a little later on Jamie showed up...and then mysteriously disappeared. Magical Jamie eh? :suspect:

Hopefully it'll get busier from this point on as I thought there was a good crowd in last night. More of the same please. :D

Wait till I speak to your fella :P

DJ Kirk didn't play last night - we've had to sack him due to unwanted attention he paid to certain clientel ;)

Only jokin, he was working last night so couldn't DJ - but rest assured he'll be in next week :D

Last night was a great crowd Paul you're right.
Hopefully this will be a sign of things to come and the night will only progress from here :)

Hi all,

Just like to say hello and to say thanks for compliments such as... 'The music kept us there'

Am loving being the DJ for VIP, the promoters and the clientele make my job so much easier and much more fun than playing for other nights I have DJ'd for..

Keep smiling everyone..

See you at the next VIP..

Just to let people know that VIP isn't running next week (i.e. 16th December).
Unfortunately with it being Christmas n all and that we only started running 5 weeks ago (or so) Takapuna already pre-booked Xmas parties.

As a result it would be close to 10.30/11pm before we could get any DJ's (i.e. Greg C / Kirk / Gaz n Neal) kicking out some choonage.
So we've decided to hold off next week and prepare for the Christmas Special of VIP on Thursday 23 December.

I trust you'll all grace us with your presence and come down for some fun n frolics in a state of pure unadulterated delectation :D :thumbsup:

Hmmm... A little confused :? (not that it takes alot!) :hihi:

Didnt think VIP was on until next week??? whilst listening to the Hallam FM's guide on what to do tonight (around lunch time) VIP @ takapunas was mentioned? :o

Is this right? or do they just advertise every week an made a boo boo this week :?

No worries mate, if you can make it great if not, there is always next week :D

Here's a snip from the last Newsletter.

1 February 2005 VIP Newsletter

This week we've teamed together with the Pearl Rockers for some Breakdancing and Body Popping.
The Pearl Rockers are without a doubt Sheffield's elite breakdancers/body poppers on the circuit.

Headlined by Electri'k they bring their art to Sheffield's Premier LGB Event for an evening of entertainment that's going to rock Takapuna to it's core. Along with Electri'k we're going to see some spectacular moves from: Estrada, Rubot and Flow

Come on down this Thursday and watch the Pearl Rockers do their stuff, and if you fancy learning a thing or two about Body Popping or Breakdancing, you can chat to the crew about their weekly classes.

Oh my god how good were the Pearl Rockers last night !:D
It must be one of the best atmosphere's we've had at VIP since we launched.

These boys know their stuff that's for sure, and they did a blinding job in The Lounge.
We even had one of our VIP regulars get up and battled with the Pearl Rockers causing a massive cheer from the crowd when she showed them that even with no Breakdance Experience, she could put on a good performance.

We had a few enquiries after we left about how people could learn to do what the Pearl Rockers do, so for everyone else who's interested check this out (http://www.forumsheffield.co.uk/electricslide/).

I'm sure we'll see the Pearl Rockers on @ VIP again pretty soon for those who missed out, so you can see how good these guys really are.

Well Done Guys :thumbsup:

Only popped on here for a min but I'll definatley let Electri'K know that you were pleased with their perfomance last Thursday.

They said they might come down again so all you people out there that want to see them again or for the first time say - YES! :clap:

He also told me to let you know that if you want to learn breakdancing or bodypopping get down to the Forum on Monday nights because he teaches his class there every week.

I have been working at Takapuna on Thursday nights for 3 weeks now and I just want to say that everyone I've met so far are really nice! It's a really chilled atmosphere - no tention at all and although I get bored sitting in that freezing booth :P it makes me warm inside to meet such friendly people! :)
