TheGreek Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 [size=6][b]EDIT: Some questions about cost - the entry fee is £10 - all proceeds from this event go to the venue[/b][/size][size=6] [b]and everybody buying raffle tickets will leave with at least one prize worth more than their outlay. [/b][/size] Breaks Manor Youth Centre Link Drive Hatfield Hertfordshire AL10 8TP How to find the venue: http://www.breaksmanor.org/howtofindus.html Also been in contact with some manufacturers who have agreed to support this (and other) future Bashes. Some very generous offers of donations for the raffle - can't say too much at this stage but if it all pans out we're going to have a real treat for raffle ticket buyers!! [b]The links I'm building now could result in some generous offers of donations for YOUR bashes in the future too.[/b] [b]Finally, the raffle itself... £5 for five tickets. See the last post on page 2 for details of raffle prizes.We're happy to accept donations from those attending - last year Bassface2k10 generously donated an acoustic bass, Dr of the Bass some pedals and various bits and pieces from other BCers.[/b] [b][i]Remember all the proceeds from this event go to the venue - a Youth Club that is struggling with funding and to stay open but provides young people with somewhere to go and so much more..[/i][/b] Though we've yet to set a date I'd be interested in how much interest there will be. Last year's list bore little resemblance to those who actually attended so please only add your details if you're definite - makes catering for the event sooo much easier.

Silvia Bluejay Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Great stuff, Mick. When you have narrowed down the date, I'll put my name on the list. Everybody - Mick is saying the truth about his contacts with manufacturers. With your help, we can think of interesting ways of getting them to help us carry out tests, comparisons, experiments and similar. I will tweet this thread tomorrow, and pin it to the top when we have decided on the date. In the meantime, feel free to read the photoblogs of the previous Herts and South East bashes by following the first link in my signature.

Lozz196 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) [b]Attending:[/b] TheGreek Grangur Lozz196 My views on the raffle is £5 for one ticket - it usually goes on a bit, and as said, most people only take one prize anyway.

Bottle Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) A definite possibility that I'll be able to make this one. Will be able to sign up once a date has been confirmed. Is it likely to be a Sunday in June still? Edited March 14, 2015 by Bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Well apperantly Hatfield station is 16 minutes from Finsbury Park on the train and the venue looks pretty close to the station, so I'm in Although I will be traveling by train so can't bring much gear...

TheGreek Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 The venue is about a 10 minute walk from the station - if you need a lift from the station on the day I'll be happy to accommodate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hertsbass Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi Mick, definitely interested (subject to date of course) - last year's event was great fun, really friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it to anyone not sure. I'm also working on something that might allow the donation of a raffle prize or a bit of sponsorship as well - will PM you if it comes off...

Silvia Bluejay Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I will almost certainly be out of the country on that date. Edit - in fact, I think mid-July to end of August would equal shooting the bash in the foot, as many people will be on holiday. A date in June would be far preferable.

TheGreek Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've spoken (well, emailed) the Facilities Manager again today and tried to negotiate a SUnday in June - hoping for [size=5][b]Sunday 14th June[/b][/size] - how do others stand on this?? No major sporting events (some Cricket but that goes on for a lifetime anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero9 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Quite fancy popping along, provided it's not the first weekend in June. If someone could also bring along a Sire MM V7, to try, that'd be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
