This newsletter provides invaluable context about Foresight’s early operations and challenges. The curfew issue - requiring all attendees inside by 11pm - was a common problem for unlicensed or alternative venues in the mid-1990s. The collective’s commitment to working within these constraints while maintaining the party atmosphere shows their dedication to keeping the night going.
The mention of “new faces” and “good regular crowd” suggests Foresight was successfully building its community in these early days.
