 | Welcome | Nov 13, 2005 |
Thanks for visiting the Ponce web site.
Ponce is a night held at Glasshouse (Vida Bar) in Derby every Monday, and at Five Lamps in Derby on the first Saturday of every month. It is run by two girls called Laura and Jodie who like music and things. The night consists of bands playing and folks DJing. The entry price is usually about £3, and all of the proceeds go towards paying for Ponce in the Park. Ponce in the Park is an annual free festival held on a recreation ground in Derby city centre. Lots of other people help with Ponce too, they know who they are.

Hello all.
There are plenty of new gigs now listed on the gigs calendar. Please go and check them out, flyers to follow soon.
Also, on May 7th 2006, Ponce are holding a Sports Day on Bass Rec, Derby.
There will be many events, including races, football etc.
Teams
should have a minimum of 5 members, each member pays £2 to enter the
tournament (all proceeds to PITP obviously), and the winning team at
the end gets a trophy presented at PITP.
I know that there will
be a Ponce team, and there was talk last night of Little Explorer, We
Get Lively and Broken Promise teams too.
So get your teams ready, and when there's more info, I'll pass it on!
Cheers.

Christmas and the New Year are almost upon us! To all those who have
supported Ponce in the last year, we'd like to say thanks. Without you,
this years Ponce in the Park wouldn't have been possible, and neither
would next year's. But it is! So let us rejoice and all that business.
Ponce is now on a festive break until January 16th or February 26th depending on who you believe, but I will keep you informed.
