clauster Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It's pretty probable that I won't be able to make it either - my debit card has been cloned (no money was taken thankfully, but a lot of incorrect attempts at my pin means my card was locked). The card has now been cancelled, so I can't get money out or buy petrol until my new card arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listening to Cake on it and barring the last octave of treble it knocks my hi-fi into a cocked hat. I have created a monster...

Possible there I think.. But let's ask John when he arrives what he is happy to use.. Hopefully, Bernie will have come up trumps and it will not be an issue! The BFM vs Claber fight should be good.. Sorry to hear Clauster & G-77 can't make it..Hope everything works out with the card clone thing Nick (F****** B*******!). By the way, if anyone has a decent digital camera to take some photos with tomorrow, it'd be a real help.. I stupidly left mine in Shoreham this afternoon and haven't time to go collect it before tomorrow.. Thanks and see you all tomorrow.

Happy Jack Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Crashing out I'm afraid. Really sorry guys, I was looking forward to this a lot. Economic meltdown, revised forecasts, planning for redundancies ... I'll be in the office tomorrow. Next year. Have a GREAT time (without me, sob!).

silverfoxnik Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi Folks, I'm pleased to say that I paid a cheque into Basschat coffers today for [b]£186.06[/b], which is half of the funds raised at September's Bash! The other half of the funds raised has been paid to 'Enable Me', the disability charity that I work for.. In total, over £500 was raised through the event which is amazing, but after paying for room hire and other costs on the day, the total raised for the good causes was just under £400! So this is a good opportunity for me to thank everybody who helped make it happen (especially Merton, WalMan & JohnnyLager) and also, a good opportunity to thank everybody else who either came to the Bash itself or who contributed by making donations etc. Cheers Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Looking forward to the South East Easter Bash! - hopefully next time I won't have to leave early for an audition. I now have access to a school with a purpose built 200 seat auditorium/theatre in Addlestone which might be a very good venue as long as members don't mind the next bash being so close to the last one?
