If you have missed previous years deployments you dont know
what you are missing, the ultimate party at the most exclusive

A massive man-made island, sitting a mile offshore from Portsmouth
Harbour, Overload @ The Fort is one of the most unusual military
buildings ever constructed and one of the most unique venues to
be found anywhere

The Fortress was designed to defend the anchorage and the inner
approaches to Portsmouth Harbour from French Invaders, and act
to provide a secondary line of defence against light draft vessels
that had managed to pass the heavier fortified outer defensive forts

Virtually unaltered since 1870,Overload @ The Fort offers unrivalled
atmosphere and some of the most spectacular views in the UK

----------------------------------------------------
THE TROOPS MISSION BRIEFING

Once again The Special Recruits will board on our transporter

Then the new up 4 it troops will be taken a mile out to sea
to the Desegnated Drop off point

Once aboard the military Strong Hold , Sonic Defences will be
enabled in all areas , Giving a high range of musical weaponary
against even the most discerning listener

DJs & Live music
( Percussion , Bongos , Sax and trombone )
From oldskool 2 house 2 funky 2 tech 2 breaks 2 electro
2 techno 2 trance 2 hardstyle 2 hardcore 2 rave

Our Forces will stage another musical onslaught on the miltary
stronghold utilising all the unique areas of this building from the
battlements to the dungeons, no place will be left un-explored by
our troops until the area is secure ..... and some !!
