[Marc S]

I'd be interested too
But again, depending on date & location.....

[keeponehandloose]

[Paul S]

Count me in! (If not too far and depending upon date) I'd love to see how it is done properly!

Well since I live in Leicester, count me in! I played at a wedding at the Walnut Tree a few weeks ago! And it's a well known fact that the location of Northamptonshire is a complete mystery to the majority of the UK population.

[Owen]

Are there any dates or venues which will suit everyone? No. So here is a concrete proposal

Risley Park Hotel, Derby Road, Risley DE72 3SS (J25 M1) is available Sun 5 Oct. £100 venue hire.

What do we reckon?

[Clarky]

I have to be honest Owen and say thats a bit far for me. Would be about 5-6 hours driving time in a day. So that would rule me out. Mind you, I am pants at double bass so the average quality of attendees would rise!

[ChrisF]

Yeah...too far for me as well. Im only able to drive relatively short distances.... and the 4 or 5 hours it would take is too much for me. Although... just think how high the average [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]quality of attendees would go up if I wasnt there lol[/font][/color]

[fatback]

Feel like I'm on Mars.

Send me a postcard?

[keeponehandloose]

I think geography is going to scupper this 😕
shame , its a good idea..

[Owen]

Can we have a roll call for the J25 M1 proposal. It all makes no odds to me - I will have to overnight it wherever we meet.

My guess is that 10 people will make it worthwhile.

Count me in so 4.

[Len_derby]

Only 12 miles from home for me. It'd be rude not to.

Number 5.

[gypsyjazzer]

The Derbyshire area would suit me fine--not a million miles away for me---[b]but[/b] on the 5th October I have something in the diary. Murphy's Law! Would love to meet all you fellow Basschat'ers.

[i]'Life begins 'norf of Watford gap'[/i].

[AndyBass]

Yep, 8 junctions away but not much more than the commute to work. I'm up for it.

[Happy Jack]

Sorry to be a wuss but that's a minimum 5-hour round-trip in a van on a Sunday, with the alarm set for 6am on Monday.

Looks more and more like what we need is DBB North and DBB South ... I may have to organise DBB South just to make sure it happens.

I am totally AWESOME and am the saviour of all things DB for the BCDBNorthern Massive.

Actually Roger (bassace) has done all the work, I just stood at the top of the thread looking fabulous. Roger is due all the praise.
