A comment from Jamie pointed to the fact that there’s nothing here on the 1991 event in Stroud. This is what he said:
a truely epic warehouse free party in Stroud Sept 21st 1991 when 8000 ravers crashed into town and rocked the old Great mills
Anything to add anyone?
By the way, we’ve found two references to parties in Stroud, this one, and one in April 1992. And we’ve seen things about Selsey Common in Stroud, as well as Stroud Common, and warehouse parties too, so it’s all a bit confusing , can anyone help? We believe the party in 1992 was the Spiral Tribe where someone got on the mic to confront a mugger. The page on that event is here: http://freepartypeople.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/april-1992-spiral-tribe-free-party-on-stroud-common/
Anything in anybody’s memory banks?

I was one of the first to get to this one as the convoy came down from Minchampton common and i manage to get in the carpark .
I remember there was a gang of Geezers trying to tax people on the door and a Traveller friend of mine was mugged for his pills.
The Rig and Mc’s couldn’t see this happening as the place was kicking.
There was Local Raver who filmed this party , don’t know what became of it.
When we left Sunday evening we were arrested and taken to Cheltenham , but later released with out charge.

Yeah, remember this one well. We were all up on Minch common for ages after comin from Ciren. Got down into town and the police had got a load of earth movers blocking the roads. Met people form oxfordshire who’d been directed to stroud by the police in oxford!
Awesome party, fair amount of aggro though, people getting taxed left right and centre.
One that’ll stay with me forever though
