Overview
In 2002, Dudley and Meralyn
organised their first weekend in Portland. After a few teething problems, it soon became a hugely successful event.
In 2002 not many promoters organised Rock n Roll hotel weekends because of the costs associated. Our aim has always
been to book good bands, have first class accommodation, with friends mainly from the Bristol area at a cost they can afford.
It has now since been followed by many other clubs and we are proud to be one of the first Rock n
Roll groups to pioneer this sort of weekend.
Please keep looking at our website for exciting news on
our forth-coming weekenders in the future.
Bo Duddley & Meralyn.
Portland, Nr Weymouth, Dorset.
This weekend is organised
by Rock-a-Holics, who are in association with Begbrook Rock n Roll Club. The weekend is held at the end of January every
year at the 3 star Heights Hotel, Portland.
The organisers for this event are Dudley and Meralyn.
Our 8th weekend at Portland is now over and we are now planning for next year.
For the 2011 weekend which will be our 9th year, we have a new band The Sundowners from Kent
playing on the Friday evening. This band has received rave reviews in Maggies blue suede news magazine, we went
to see them at a Rock n Roll dance at Newton Abbot,and they went down a bomb so we decided to book them for Portland.
So we hope you will enjoy the bands we have booked for our Rock-a-Holics weekend.
On the Saturday evening, 'Joey
and the Jivers' will once again be performing for us. This will be the third time they have performed for us for
this event and as ever will no doubt go down a storm.
This is a very popular weekend and if you are interested,
get in quick as over 65% of rooms have already been filled.
