at the beginning of the month, I thought this was going to be one of the quieter ones, but with a few last minute bookings, and a few conferances I ended up with 15 gigs.

Now the weekending Sunday 28th September was quite busy with me providing the Audio & Visual requirements for 3 conferances on the Wednesday & Thursday, so on these days it was an early rise (5am to be precise) and a quick arrival at the venue to set up sound systems, wireless microphones and projectors.

On the Friday I had decided to take the night off to go see the greatest football team in the world, Southend United beat those cockney boys Orient, and I was not disapointed, with a 3-0 thrashing handed out, then it was off home to pick up the van to collect Murray, who was DJ'ing at Stock Brook Manor.

Now Saturday was a completly differant thing, there was a conferance for the "Pre-School Alliance" in the banqueting Suite at Stock Brook Manor. I had to have 3 wireless radio microphones, 4 speakers, a projector and laptop set up by 9am.

then it was a quick break as I was providing the disco & auctioneering for another charity ball in the Club House at stock brook manor, I had aslo been asked to set up additional speakers, and also connect all the TV's in the room to my system, so that we could play jpg's and a video mesage from Leonna Lewis.

and wow what a fantastic night, where I helped raise £1,000's of pounds, the highlight of the evening was a meet & greet with Soul Star Lemar, who was guest of honour at the dinner

Sunday was another early rise as Sharon & I were attending a wedding fayre at the Towngate Theatre Basildon, a day to meet as many prospective bride & grooms as possible, and try to get them to book me a the disco for their wedding reception, a very busy day with lots of people in attendance, I gave out a record amont of business cards, and so have have taken 7 bookings for the disco, LED uplighters & fairy light curtain.
