Old Slapper was the organizer of previous ones, I'd be interested if it was put on again.

[mep]

Depends where but as I'm sort of midway between you 2 that's a possible yes from me. Could be something to brighten up a quiet weekend sometime in the new year?

[Dom in Dorset]

From what I remember of previous ones, there is usually lots of debate about where it should be , the first was in Shafetsbury, the second was probably there too , back room of a pub. I'll PM Old Slapper.
The previous ones were both on a Sunday lunchtime.

As the co-organiser last year I somehow thought it was early on this year, but on checking it was around this date last year! Too late for this w/e and possibly a bit near Xmas now. I'm thinking early next year, say mid Jan: what are people's thoughts?....I know 10 bassists, 10 different opinions! I'll have no trouble with getting the same venue if people are cool with that assuming it's around here. So proposed date if held around here could be Sunday Jan 19th 2014. Thoughts?

I'm up for a meeting if its with-in reasonable driving distance. I enjoyed the last one very much.

[yorks5stringer]

It has been suggested we call it a Dorset and Somerset ( or Somerset and Dorset, I'm not fussed) Bash so if anyone further West wants to have a S.W. or Devon and Cornwall one then that is fine. I think I'll start a separate thread or things will just get messy. Bye! Now pinned at top.

I'll certainly try to make it again. I enjoyed the last bash.

[Mornats]

Something in Jan will be cool yeah. I'm up for that.

[deaver]

Same venue as last would be excellent

[stevie]

Indeed. We had a great, inexpensive lunch beforehand.

Well if you want a meeting organised just south of Bristol let me know. I know of a pub I think would be pleased to have us.

Any interest?

I might be interested, depending on when/where.

[Pinball]

Well there's a local pub in Nailsea (just off the M5) where they don't mind us making a racket. They do the usual Sunday meals/bar stuff but have a nice long room at the back with good access from the car park. If there is reasonable interest I'll make some inquiries.

If you bring your Sandburg that would be cool as I always wanted to see a KT.

[stevie]

Nailsea is nearly in Scotland! You have to remember, it's all cross-country down here in ciderland.

Hmm maybe we should have a cider meeting instead?
Seriously I'd rather attend than arrange so whatever

I have started a Dorset and Somerset Bash thread which is pinned above....

If there's noise making, i'm in!

[alyctes]

Depends if I can overcome my embarrassment at my rotten playing and worse memory. But, tentatively, yes.

[Josh]

Depending on where and when this would be I would be quite interested to come along

[yorks5stringer]

The details are in the Dorset and Somerset Bash thread pinned at the top of the Lounge.
