The March 'Safe Rave' was another huge success, with loads of young people turning out to see ANGLE and SHOOKZ play back to back. This 'Safe Rave' was techno themed and saw yet another different layout for the DJ's. They were on a 4ft stage, which looked really impressive!

Linking Lives @ The George
Linking Lives media project hosted an event at The George and Dragon pub in Belper. It was a really good turn out for older and Young people. Jasper performed an acoustic set for some entertainment. Filmcity were filming the whole night as a documentary, also recording some interviews about stereotypes of young and older people. Paul and Tom recorded some separate audio for the launch of the radio project, and plan to do a behind the scene's (away from the camera's) interviews to document how people are finding the media project as a whole.

Updated Art Instillation
Along side a few repairs and a re-paint we also started working on the forgotten speaker art instillation. The speakers were put there in summer 2009 with the idea we would spray paint over them. The new idea is really creative, watch out for the finished art piece.
Wii on SMart board
As part of the refurb of the games room we have moved the table football to the side and set the Wii up on the SMart board, and added speakers under the seats, it's a brilliant gaming experience.

Street Dance Promo
Tonight sees the start of the long anticipated Street Dance sessions.
Its a 10 week workshop in urban dance styles, for FREE!
We have carpeted the main space for the workshops and set up the new sound system.
A few people said how much they were aching afterwards. Well done everyone you all did really well. There is another 9 weeks left so everyone will be really fit by then.
There was a good attendance for the first Street Dance session with a lot of the Freshers returning to join in this project.
The first Street dance session went really well. It was made compulsive that all the staff also join in :)

Games room refurb draft
The games room has been one of the most used attractions and area's of the Drop Inn since it opened only last year. The pool table is still getting used loads but the table football looks a bit lonely. So we've decided to put the table football away for a few weeks and move the Wii onto the new projector in there. There is an added surprise to the sound experience as well, we will say more next week! The gaming experience in our game room will be even more fun and enjoyable soon!
This is just the Rough Plan.
This is the rough outline plan for what we would like to do to the games room. It's not a major development we just want to promote the use of the second projector we've got. We've tried the Wii on it before and it's a brilliant gaming experience, so if we can install some extra speakers under the seating as well it will be an even better gaming experience!
We will be moving the table football in the main space with the Table tennis so there is more room to use it.

Music Production Workshops
Paul F (Shookz) who has been running the DJ workshops every Monday night for 6 months is now going to expand the music based workshops and teach some lucky young people how to produce their own music. The Young people interested in music producing will get the chance to not only produce their own music but also produce it using the touch screen technology of the broadcaster kit we've got! It's all very exciting, we will name the start date as soon as we know when these session are able to start. Cheers, Tom and Paul.
