[quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='877691' date='Jun 25 2010, 07:31 PM']I'm putting an Alleva Coppolo T-shirt in the raffle as a prize ...of course the winner will then need a bass to go with it [/quote] Top(!) man T

Just a gentle reminder you can never have too many raffle prizes... thanks T

[b]Some landmarks for the day[/b] [b]The school is in Bellevue Road[/b] [b]If you come down Friern Barnet Road, you will see a church at the top of Bellevue Road, with a chinese takaway opposite, named wonder food[/b] [b]You go down the hill of Bellevue Road and the school is on the left near the bottom of the hill[/b] see you there T

All's on course for a good day Sunday It would be helpful though if a few people could volunteer some time doing a few things such as manning the food stall, tea / coffee and security for the day. It would just give the few people that have already volunteered the chance to have a break and enjoy the day a little themselves. I've got some spuds today for jacket potatoes and will be getting some fillers such as coleslaw and tuna/ mayonnaise mix. I had a scout about and there is a local co-op food store a short car ride away (a little bit too far to walk on a hot day really). If there is demand for it I'll do a run on the day. [b]Anyone bringing rigs on the day - can you please bring an extension lead[/b] T

Come to the London bass bash, the topic will be discussed there 11.30 to around 12. 15 or so T

[quote name='silddx' post='876159' date='Jun 24 2010, 09:27 AM']I've managed to rearrange things so I'll be there for a few hours from the start. I'll bring the Warwicks. I won't be bringing the POD X3 LIVE but if anyone's thinking of taking the plunge with one of these and want to know the pros and cons, how they work and how to use them in the studio and on stage, find me and I'll be more than happy to talk Looking forward![/quote] Top man ! T

[quote name='TheRev' post='875705' date='Jun 23 2010, 06:37 PM'] My Eminence.[/quote] There's something intriguing about that bass T

Update time; Jakesbass has been in touch, seems some unavoidable commitments have come up. He will attend if possible, but can't guarantee it. Still looking forward to a good day though T

there is always the option of studying an instrument and taking a Royal Schools of Music grade. Not sure if it's the same now, but the earlier grades when I took them studied in keys of C, G, F and D. T

Welcome from another 'lifer'. I started playing quite young too. Still seems like a good idea eh ? T

Hi folks I'm in touch with someone that can do food for the day, such as salad, pasta, cold chicken, ribs etc for a reasonable price per meal on the day. I don't have exact prices at the moment, but it won't be expensive. What does everyone think ? would you like food available on the day or are you bringing your own ? Cheers T

Several people has suggested a preference for donating any surplus to charity. Don't know how widespread this view may be though. So, in keeping with respecting the views of BC'ers, everyone will be asked to express a their preference when they sign in as to how any surplus funds should be treated i.e. refunded to them personally, donated to charity (you can specify which one) or carried over to the 2011 London bash. Therefore, you will only be asked to provide your address if you require a refund. Hope that's ok by everyone T

I've seen some bands roll end - end connected XLR cables around a garden hose drum T

I've known thieves to start a fight at the opposite end of a pub during the band's break. While everybody turned around to watch the commotion, the third thief walked off with a guitar. It was organised for sure, as the fight was over too quickly and the pair involved were seen running off together after the guitar was lifted. Be careful out there ! T

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='777404' date='Mar 17 2010, 03:01 PM']£30.00 / hr x 8 hrs = £240.00 That's £10.00 head for 24 people. What's the general opinion folks ?? It's up to you B.C. - let's hear your thoughts on this one please. T [/quote] Errm, FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE THAT HAS NOT FOLLOWED THIS EVENT ON THREAD Not sure if you all remember that there is an entry fee for this event to cover the cost of the hall hire for the day It's £10.00 per person, based on a calculation of 30 people coming. If more people come, there should be funds left over. If everyone signs in with a name and address, any surplus will be divided equally and refunded by cheque. Any personal information gained in this way will be destroyed after the business for the day has been completed. This information will be limited to being shared between organisers on a need -to- know basis. PRIVACY WILL BE RESPECTED. EDIT; In keeping with a later posting - any surplus can be donated to charity or carried over to the 2011 London bash. Your address will only be necessary if you express a desire for a refund. REMEMBER. IT'S £10.00 EACH !!!!!!! thank you T
