Hi guys
As a french Stick player, I'm organizing a two and a half day event in London around the Chapman Stick, from the 20th to 22nd of April, helped with a friend of mine living there in London.

How do you[i] play [/i]a french stick ? One nibble at a time maybe ?

I would LOVE to get along to this event, but I have previous commitments that weekend. I understand that you're based in France, but would you consider running similar events elsewhere in the UK?

[grozeil]

I don't think. A friend who lives in London did a great job to set things up, but it would be more difficult for her and I to organize something elsewhere in UK. Moreover, the main goal is to gather Chapman Stick students for lessons during those two days, and London is obviously the city with the most important number of Stick players per square meter . I don't think there's so much stick players elsewhere, but I may be wrong.
But who knows? I'd consider organizing somewhere in Scotland or Ireland if you invite us
