Wooooooooh! Hold on a minute, they are making changes to The Wendy House? This I do not like! This is scary! Ok, let me calm you down and myself too. It is staying at the union.
Ok, there are two main changes, I’m going to talk about them in turn.
Summer changes
Wendy House is still going over the summer and thankfully it’s going to be staying at the union accross the summer too so it means the union hopefully won’t be closed for that long (as it’s a cool place to hang out, I’m presuming The Terrace will be open at least for some time).
However the union are refurbishing so that means that in July it will be two rooms (Bar Coda being closed) and in August Stylus will be closed. I’m glad they are re-doing Bar Coda as the venue itself sucks, anywhere that is indie never gets a nice place (except Tunnel Club and Indie Rox at Halo, those are the only exceptions, possibly in the world). It’s going to be well crowded with Stylus closed in August though!
September changes
The union are kicking Wendy House out of Mine! There is a whole different event going to be run which means that they will only have two rooms on a regular basis and Mine is a big room so they are still going to be a little short on space (well, they have loads of space compared to Fruity but I like clubs at 50% capacity (of which the Wendy House is more than that) because that’s still fairly crowded but has enough room to dance in (at 100% you absolutely can’t move)).
However on the Wendy House community they said…
Mutate room will be moved into the much larger and much improved “Bar Coda” room
Which implies to me that when they refurbish Bar Coda they are going to make it bigger as it’s capacity is only half the size of Mine at the moment. I don’t know how they plan to expand it as it’s surrounded by Mine and Stylus, albeit above them I think but that’s apparently the plan so maybe they are making it way bigger.
Conclusion
It’s going to be an interesting summer. I guess there won’t be as many people at Wendy House as normal anyway as a lot of the students will be gone although that sucks because I prefer students to locals and percentage wise it means there will be way more locals there.
I look forward to seeing the new Bar Coda but with the changes and Mutate taking priority when there are only two rooms in means that June will be the last time Hot Potatoes is run!
