Dear Members of the Sensoria Family,


It has taken us 10 days to be able to sit down and put into words what our last night meant to us. What can I say the final Journey and last night at Sensoria was something we will remember for the rest of our lives

Firstly apologises to any of you who couldn’t get in. The night reached capacity at 10.30 and then was one out one in so those who hung around eventually did get in and were part of what became the best night Sensoria ever had. The atmosphere was electric with everyone smiling, dancing and cheering and really up for a good party. To all of you who made such an effort to dress up, thank you, you all looked superb. The DJ’s performed at their best whipping the crowd into a frenzy so thanks once again to who are in our opinion, the best resident DJ’s in the country, ANDY BAGGUELY, PETE BROWN AND KEITH HURLEY.

The book of memories was a pretty emotional read for us as it contained so many nice memories of yours and made the last 6 years so worthwhile. We have selected a few memories to show you but wont mention names so as not to embarrass you

“So many good nights to remember, so many friends made & the place I met the love of my life”

“A while before I found Sensoria my life had hit rock bottom, I was hanging around with the wrong people and had some awful boyfriends. One night, one of you found me crying at the edge of the dance floor. I was whisked away and introduced to a lovely crowd of people who were so nice to me that I cried even more! I had never received so many cuddles, smiles and tenderness in all my life. From that day on the loneliness faded from my life. Thank you

“ So many memories of this club. I came here as a 18 year old college boy venturing into clubland for the first time. Since then I have been to many clubs across the country, seen many different DJ’s and met many diverse people. But out of every club I’ve been too, Sensoria always had a special place in my heart. The buzzing atmosphere, the smiling faces, the flashing lights! Just want to say thanks for six amazing years”
“ To make an impression on anyone’s life and be remembered is an achievement in itself. Take pride in the fact that you made an impression on many people’s lives.

“ Some of the greatest moments of my life were spent here at SENSORIA”

“We were lost and searching for a home and then we found SENSORIA. Wish we’d found you sooner! Met some special people and always left with a smile on our faces. Thank you. Gonna miss you and everyone so much”

“ I met all my best friends here at SENSORIA”

“What a brilliant night your finale was! The whole evening was fantastic,
the music, and the dancers, the techno pharaoh of course and everyone looked like they were enjoying the whole event. Our entire crowd said how much they enjoyed that night.... you cannot end it there! You should at least be considering revisiting The Journey that is Sensoria…. Even if it’s just a couple of times a year, you know it makes sense!!! I just wanted to say its been a fantastic journey with you all, I remember Wolverton which, for me set the seed for alternative dance nights, I’d never been to an event so chilled and accepting of every type of 'clubber'. It didn't matter if we were there in jeans and tee shirt or full techno gear, everyone was welcome. Then following your break, how fantastic when you started back up again at Bar Central, we were all fuelled up and
ready for the next leg of the journey. So don’t say it’s the end, we are all
still travellers and we are not ready for our journey to end yet...”

ATLANTA ENTERTAINMENT DANCERS

“ We have danced at numerous clubs and events throughout the country but have never danced where the atmosphere was as amazing as it was tonight. You have the best crowd of clubbers I have ever known. Amazing!”

And that to us says it all. It is you our clubbers who helped to make Sensoria great and so very special. Your friendliness, thoughtfulness, happy smiling faces have brought others and us so much joy. You brought our dance floor alive and have provided us with the accolade of being called in the paper last week “ the most people friendly promotion” This a true triumph for us as this is what we set out to achieve and we did it. Sensoria was never about making money and not just about the music but about providing a place where people could meet up, dance and have some fun with like minded people. Our last night was proof to us that we had succeeded in making our dream a reality. Not many people get the chance to do that and so we thank you all from the bottom of our heart.

Many more wonderful things were said so thanks to you all. If you were not able to put your entry into the book and would still like to do it, then just email me your name and memory to trish@sensoria.co.uk and I will put it in for you.

The photos of the night are now available on our newly revamped website. Many thanks to Martin Mc Dermott for all the work on the website and who has designed this new website as a special present for us both to remember Sensoria. Choked! Check out his amazing work at www.sensoria.co.uk

The emails keep flooding in, is this really the end? Can’t you do the boat? Please can we have a 7th birthday party? The answers is for the moment we have no plans to do anything else but if the right opportunities came up to do something special, well we just might dust down the backdrops.

So it is Goodbye for now and thank you all for the happy memories.

With all our love always and forever,

Trish & Jim xxxxxxx
