Good friends gather for Good Times Retro University
Good Times is set to stir good memories at the Mas Camp on Saturday, August 28. The summer edition of the popular Good Times party series hits Mas Camp just before the back-to-school season and thus is aptly themed, Good Times: Retro University. The event is likely to reunite friends anxious to enjoy that last fling before buckling down for the new academic year.
The Quorum, producers of the long-running party series, have promised a special surprise for this staging, but won’t reveal the secret. “We have built a reputation on delivering the best music and we have never revealed the details on the music prior to the party; no need to start now,” said The Quorum Executive Member Jerome Hamilton as he deftly avoided the question. In the past, Good Times has been known to import DJs, have live performers and combine the hottest young DJs with experienced ‘turntablists’. Regardless of who will eventually take the spotlight on the late August night, history suggests they will be good.
Moving from the stage to the bars, Good Times regulars are familiar with the large, easy-access bar set-up. Multiple well stocked bars with well trained professional staff are being constructed around the venue for the convenience of the patrons. Heineken Bucket Deals will mean fewer trips to the bar and more time on the dance floor.
Pulsating music and flowing Heineken are trademarks of Good Times, but so too is the Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre. Since the first party in May 1996, The Quorum have donated part proceeds from the series to the upkeep and development of the facility formerly known as Mona Rehab. Residents of the facility are often in the crowd rocking to the music of “19 something” alongside the patrons that make the donations possible. Good Timers are also encouraged to bring gifts for the children at the centre. Items left in the drop box at the gate are gathered and delivered to the only facility of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean.
