Soul in the Sun - Tenerife 2010 April 23rd - 29th
We have almost certainly found our new venue, it's fantastic, more details to follow soon
It is near the new Adeje market, 10 mins walk from The Fort
Once again we are going to Tenerife for our Spring Soul in the Sun
April 23rd, 2010 Booking form now available CLICK ME .
-------------------------------
November 4th - 18th, 2010
It is very likely that we will be returning to Sands Beach Villas for our November Holiday.
The complex is very special, it isn't one of those high rise hotels, where everyone is crammed on top of each other, in fact most of the apartments are single story bungalows, the highest ones are just two stories.
The quality of these villas really are exceptional
DETAILS and PRICES will be available in January
Soul in the Sun - October Newsletter
Hi,
I've been working on the programme for Lanzarote for the past few days,
and the proof will be going to the printers in the morning.
This is when I start to get excited about our November Soul in the Sun.
In just 47 sleeps we will be there!
And you still have time to join us.....
Soul in the Sun Lanzarote November 5th, 2009 -
There are still some one bedroom apartments left,
but the studios and two bedroom apartments are long gone.
Flights are available from Manchester and most other major airports.
If you are hoping to join us you need to book as soon as you can.
If you haven't been to Sands Beach before,
believe me it really is the bees knees. All the Villas have all the mod cons,
and either have their own patio or balcony complete
with recliners and outdoor furniture for al fresco dining.
We have soul nights every night in two rooms.
The Cellar Bar is dedicated to Northern
Soul oldies and stompers every night after midnight,
while the Cabaret Bar plays a complete mixture of quality Soul Music.
Every day we have our afternoon sessions at The Mai Tai Bar,
which is open air, and once a week we have our legendary fancy dress all dayers.
Don't forget you can come on November 5th for the first week, of the full fortnight,
or on November 12th for the second week.
You need to phone The Little Travel Shop on 01942 522888 to book your holiday.
You can get a booking form for the passes from www.soulinthesun.com

Soul in the Sun - Tenerife April 23rd, 2010 -
I have just heard from Willie in Tenerife that he has moved out of The Jungle Bar.
The owners son has put his rent up despite the fact that Tenerife is dead,
so instead of getting some rent, he is now getting nothing.
Still I'm not worried, so don't you be.
Already I have three alternatives,
I can't say anything else just yet, but one of them is spectacular,
the other two just fantastic.
Things probably won't be finalised until I return from Lanzarote in November,
what ever else you hear Soul in the Sun is still on April 23rd in Tenerife.
You will no doubt hear all sorts of rubbish sent out by the usual suspects,
but I promise you there is no problem. We will still be using The Fort during the day.
If you are looking to book an apartment, or have already booked one
there's no need to panic.
At worst the new club will be a 10 minute walk away,
or at best a 2 minute walk from Puerto Colon.
The response for our April holiday has been great, despite everything
else that is going on.

Hi everyone,
As I sit here looking out of the window, it is absolutely pouring down in Kendal, and the water is pouring down our hill like a river. I hope the last few weeks have not been our Summer!
Every time we watch the news, we are still filled with doom and gloom, 2.4 million unemployed, MPs robbing us blind, our brave soldiers being killed in Afghanistan, companies going bust, 6 pubs closing every week!!! Tell you what I think it's even more important to have something to look forward to....
Soul in the Sun Lanzarote November 5th, 2009 - Soul in the Sun in Lanzarote is now just 111 sleeps away, which doesn't sound as bad as 4 months does it? Bookings are going well under the present economic circumstances, at present all the studio apartments are sold out, as are all the 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. There is limited number of beachfront one bedroom apartments left.
If you are hoping to join us you need to book as soon as you can. If you haven't been to Sands Beach before, believe me it really is the bees knees. All the Villas have all the mod cons, and either have their own patio or balcony complete with recliners and outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. We have soul nights every night in two rooms. The Cellar Bar is dedicated to Northern Soul oldies and stompers every night after midnight, while the Cabaret Bar plays a complete mixture of quality Soul Music. Every day we have our afternoon sessions at The Mai Tai Bar, which is open air, and once a week we have our legendary fancy dress all dayers. Don't forget you can come on November 5th for the first week, of the full fortnight, or on November 12th for the second week. Prices start at little as £380.50 per person for a week, or just £501 for the fortnight including, flights from Manchester, transfers, apartment and soul passes, other airports available. (based on 4 people sharing a one bedroom apartment) You need to phone The Little Travel Shop on 01942 522888 to book your holiday
The present prices for the flights will be going up in the next 4 weeks, when any unsold seats on the "Soul Planes" are taken back by the travel company for re sale, and although we can still get them, they will cost us more.
Also if you have booked your holiday and not bought your passes, you need to do it buy the end of this month. Your requests for certain apartments are allocated on a first come, first served basis from when you bought your passes. Please bear this in mind and return the attached booking form as soon as you can.
Soul in the Sun - Tenerife April 23rd, 2010 - You might have heard rumours about The Jungle Bar being up for sale, and The Fort being demolished. The actual facts are that The Jungle Bar has been up for sale for 6 months, and to quote Willie " there isn't a hope in hell of selling it" As for The Fort being demolished, they are doing a load of building work there at present due to the fact that their new nightclub is so successful the authorities have ordered them to strengthen the floor due to extra numbers. The floor of the nightclub, is in fact the ceiling of The Fort, so you can imagine the amount of work needed.
We will be using The Jungle at nights and The Fort for our Daytime Soul Sessions in 2010
For this holiday you sort out your own flights and accommodation, and buy the soul passes from myself. The little Travel shop can find you an apartment / hotel near the venue, and is very competitive for flights. Phone 01942 522888

Cancer Research - Once again this year we are doing well. So far our total for 2009 is £11,000 and we still have a few promises from our April Soul in the Sun to come in, and some sponsor money. Jim the treasurer just told me the other day that since we have been raising money for them our total to date is £64,500 On top of this I reckon there has been at least another £5000 to other organisations.
Sponsored Children - As you may be aware Soultime Limited (on your behalf) sponsor two children and their families in Zambia. These guys literally live in mud huts, and our sponsorship changes their lives dramatically. As well as supplying them with clean water to drink, your donations help with other things that we take for granted, like blankets & shoes, not to mention rice and so important to them is vegetable oil. Jennifer (on the left) is now able to go to school, and Kisu (on the right) has a properly balanced diet as does his twin sister and the rest of his family. Should you wish to sponsor a family yourself check out www.worldvision.org.uk
The Ben Brown Appeal - In our last newsletter I told you about Sue Godfrey's nephew Ben Brown who was diagnosed with Hypothalamic Syndrome. We have so far raised over £500 for him. There is now a website where you can follow his progress and keep up to date with his fund raising. You can also make a donation to him if you so wish. The address is www.benbrownfundraising.co.uk
