Yorkshire Bass Bash - 15th Feb '09 (NOON - 5 PM)

As I have the time to do this, and following some encouragement from jake_tenfloors and Yorks5stringer, I am going ahead with sorting out a Yorkshire Bass Bash for February.

I have found a good venue in Harrogate. It is a snooker club which has an adjoining events hall. It has a bar, sandwiches, plenty of free parking, no stairs, and we can have it for free on Sundays, noon to 5pm. That's on the understanding that we leave it as we find it and he does some business over the bar (BigBeefChief – that’s your job).

The room itself is large and square. It is carpeted except for the wooden dance floor and stage. Gigs are held there. Tables and chairs can be put out whilst rigs can be set up around the edges.

So, the only thing to do is to agree a date.

Please do the old poll thing above.

15 and 22 are in half term. Could be ok but it will depend on the rest of the family. 1 and 8 fine.

Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, I am prepared to help clean up after any little accidents we might have :)
I offer that to make up for not having any exciting skills or kit to show off :huh:

Can we have the address?
Thanks

Sounds good though. How far away would it be from the train station?[/quote]
c.8 walk from Hornbeam Park. If carrying gear, I dare say someone will give you a lift, but we can sort that out nearer the time. I hope you make it!

At its most basic, some folk will bring their rigs, FX and basses, others will come just to look and maybe have a go.

If anyone 'in the trade' wants to exhibit, do set-ups, etc. they are welcome, by prior arrangement. It's all free, except the bar.

Suggestions for making the day more interesting, are also welcomed.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='348602' date='Dec 8 2008, 01:49 PM']It would be good to have someone really knowlegable do a little talk on something..... how about dragging Jim Fleeting along perhaps?

plus obligatory Raffle of course....[/quote]
The JimMeister has been invited and is indeed intending to come. He may well be coerced to spout wisdom too. Can you contact Jon and lure him to bring somer Shukers too, Keith?

Hi,
I'd really like a few more votes before fixing the date with the venue. So if you are hoping to come, please [b]do the poll[/b] if you haven't already.

Once I have the date firmed up, I'll post the venue's details.

Ta,
B2BM
