Hello! I need to give you an update, 

You may have heard (or will soon be hearing) about plans for a new building on the site where Studio 41 currently stands which will be used by Canterbury Christ Church University.

For those who don't know the story, we've been aware for some time about plans to redevelop the club, i.e. tear it down and put something new in it's place. Permission was originally given for a block of flats but a developer is putting forward a new submission for student accommodation. We think the proposal, which will end up being used by Christ Church, will be much more beneficial to Canterbury than the previous plans; Therefore we will not be objecting to it.

What all this means in the short term is additional press stories about the development and fresh rumours we're going to close overnight which is obviously not the case. I wanted to send this message to reassure you we'll still be there next month, and the month after that, and the month after that. 

It'd be pointless for me to guess, as others have already done, on exactly how long Studio 41 will be at it's current location. Any dates you may hear or read about at this stage are complete speculation. I can tell you we will not be moving anywhere this year. When I know factually the date we're leaving, I'll send around a message on this group to tell you. There will be no secrecy here, as soon as I know, you'll know. 

The intention is to relocate Studio 41 and Planet Lazer to another premises in Canterbury. There are several plans but as soon as I know THE plan, I'll be sharing it with you. 

My view? This is incredibly exciting. It's a chance to give Canterbury something it's never seen before. Oh, and I've been told they can build me a bar in my DJ box. WIN! I think this could be good!

About the e-mail I sent last week about the jobs we have going - please please please don't message me on Facebook because it only allows me to send a certain number of messages before it thinks I'm spamming everyone... so please if you wish to apply send an e-mail to stephen@girlsandboys.co.uk because I can respond freely :) Oh and one more thing, I've had a pretty decent response (thank you!) but it does mean it's taking me a while to get through everything but I'm on it so hopefully speak to you soon!

This Saturday it's the last Girls And boYs before we take our Christmas break. Don't freak out because we'll be back in the new year! We need a rest and we also need to revamp the lights in the main club room, so look forward to improvements when we're back.

THIS WEEKEND
It's Winter Wonderland. We have a Bucking Reindeer and SANTA himself in attendance! So make sure you come sit on his knee and grab a present. Our Santa isn't CRB checked so enter his grotto at your own risk. The whole place is decked out Christmas style so please come along for what will be the last Girls And boYs of 2009. It's been a great year, let's all have a proper party!

This will probably be my last e-mail for a little while, so I wanted to say thank you for an amazing year. Love to all the staff, security and management who give up their weekends to make the nights happen. Thank you to the big boss for the constant investment and belief which means we can put on the best nights in Canterbury, if not Kent; To the promo team who work rain or shine to look after you and by no means least, to you for choosing to spend your weekend with us. It means a lot. Thank you.

From everyone at Studio 41 - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

howdy!

So last Saturday, Simon Cowell’s bodyguard BIG TONY took up the task of being the Girls And boYs door host. It was good, but the bosses of Studio 41 told me he was a bit beefy to stand on the door (something about his muscles taking up too much room!) so I’ve been set the challenge of finding someone else.

I’ve spent the last few days making calls, trying desperately to think of the smallest person I know.

Finally, my search has ended.....

This Saturday, we welcome LIL CHRIS to Studio 41 to be your Girls And boYs door host for the evening.

Remember “Everybody Loves Lil Chris” on T4?

Remember the song “Checkin It Out” last summer?

Chris loves a party and I did say y’all were one of the best crowds! So really hope you can make it on Saturday to say hi to him.

The theme is Wet N Wild. As always, no dress code so feel free to bust out those shorts n bikinis. The dunk tank, shower and some other surprises await!

It's gonna be good so get there early!
See you Saturday
xx
