Normally that alone would be a reason for a massive celebration. This year, however, we're bringing together several things that mean an enormous amount to us and to people within our community.

We'll be celebrating ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐, celebrating friendships and the community that has grown around the club, raising as much money as we possibly can โ while also sharing stories and remembering some very special people who aren't here to celebrate it with us.

Some were family by blood. Some became family through friendship and the communities that existed long before Kings opened its doors.

All of them left people behind who still talk about them, laugh about them, tell stories about them and miss them.

There will be plenty happening at Kings throughout the 24 hours and particularly on the Saturday, and we'll release much more information as we get closer.

Whether you come down and support us, challenge Mike to a few frames, somehow keep Jay awake behind the decks, join us for the Baldwin Harrhy Cup, celebrate Kings turning three, donate through this page or simply share it...
