pantherairsoft Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Right, New thread to start collating interest for a Nottingham Bash this year. Try not to post anymore in the thread for 2010 to avoid confusion. If your happy with the Five Ways as a venue again tick yes, If not, tick no and reply to say why. I think the venue works as its quite accessible and has plenty or parking, and it's cheap. Tick every date you think you can make so we can start to head towards setting on a date.

tauzero Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I've not been to the Five Ways (car problems when the last one was on) so I've voted "yes" but it's an uninformed "yes". What time are you expecting to finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I've never been to a bash before, so it's about time I started. I'm not sure what the format of the day is, so if anyone can enlighten me I'll be very grateful. It's probably best to assume I know nothing!

pantherairsoft Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 As for times etc... No idea yet. As I recall it kicked off around 1pm and wrapped up about 6 last time. There is no format as such. We hire a room at a venue that has a bar. Everyone brings basses and hopefully a few will bring amps/cabs/combo's etc. Everyone gets to meet other basschatters and try out everyone's gear, socialise, talk bass and generally have a good time. Last time there must of been 20 of us at the busyest time (some folks just pop in for an hour) and at least 40 basses! Cost depends on how many turn up. If the room costs £75 for example and 10 folks commit, it'll be £7.50 each, if 100 decide to come it'll be 75p (and we'll need a bigger venue).

nottswarwick Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Are we going to have a Jam Room like it seems was at the Surrey one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroman Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm interested. Free on any of the above dates at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 We could try and set one up. Though I think if we're going to do a jam room then we might want to push it back til sometime in the New Year and make it into a slightly better publicised event and get in people's diaries.

pantherairsoft Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Agreed. At the moment, there is hardly enough interest/responses to make it worth booking. Maybe planning something bigger for next Feb or something is a better idea - hat would also give us time to find a suitable venue with multiple rooms far enough away from each other that sound doesn't travel - The school idea may work like it did in Surrey.

TRBboy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi guys, don't know whether you've seen but a few of us have been discussing a West Midlands Bass Bash. As Birmingham and Nottingham aren't all that far away, what about linking up for one big Midlands Bass Bash? It would be good to get as many people together as possible IMHO. What do you think?

[/quote] I'd be up for that. I think a school venue is a good idea to get multiple rooms and decent parking. No idea how much that would cost though. Maybe we could start checking out possibilitied in our own areas and then compare? I'm in south Birmingham BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi, just a quickie. The West Mids Bass Bash has been confirmed for 27th November. Hopefully won't clash!!! Anyone interested from over there is welcome. Cheers, Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Will see what I can do about coming to the West Mids one. The response to the Nottingham one has been a tad slow. 16 votes is a tad low to make the event worth doing. Thinking that trying to plan something bigger for earlier next year is a better idea.
