Introduction
The Rave Club is an underground movement of "Ravers" Link label who created a subculture based around raving which was initially started to celebrate the return from Canada of a prominent member of the Newcastle UK rave scene, M.C. Merlin.

The Initial Rave Club
The first gathering was held on 28th December, 2006 in Newcastle, England. Attendees included males and females from a range of social circles who mostly shared some mutual friend in common who was involved in the movement. The first meeting saw prominent figures attend such as: L.Cougar, T- Doggy Dogg, S.Tingle, Joey Johnson, G. Ains, and D.'Arcy, as well as their pariah, M.C.Merlin. Later in the evening, the rave was moved on from the original destination (Hancock) because of the rowdy nature of the event. The culmination of the evening involved a fall out between two fractions of the movement, which led to a 4 year hiatus of G.Ains and D.'Arcy due to S.Tingle vandalising their carpet with toothpaste in an ill fated prank.

Past Events
Subsequent events were held in 2007 (Leeds),2008 (Liverpool) 2009 (Leeds - The "Igloo").
