ChunkyMunky Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 In that case, gentlemen, what would be best for everyone? I wouldn't mind having a crack at setting one up. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) The SE Bash is the best attended of all, so what works fine for smaller bashes will not necessarily work in its case. The requirements are: - a venue that's easy enough to reach by car and has lots of parking; extra points if it's close to a train station and bus services - several large rooms, separated from each other ideally by soundproof doors - ideally a nice foyer area for BC sales tables and the raffle - basic kitchen facilities and toilets The ground floor of a school would usually fulfill all of those requirements, but there can also be other suitable places.

TheGreek Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I don't think Colin is the Caretaker anymore Quote
NancyJohnson Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 There's a few village halls near to me (Crowthorne) that would be ideal; most have staging areas that would be good for the clinics, plenty of parking. I'd be happy to enquire on pricing. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Guys, feel free to make enquiries at places you think may be suitable. We can then put our heads together and see if there's any way of organising something. Quote
Captain Rumble Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Is jubilee school not available anymore ? its location in Addlestone was ideal for transport from all over southeast Quote
silverfoxnik Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Hi Folks Sorry - only just seen this... There's been a bereavement in the family so other than having a very cursory look at the site (usually the For Sale threads), I've not been paying too much attention any where else... So, just to say that the above comments are correct in that we don't know for definite whether or not we can use the site that we've been using for the last 9 years, and it is linked to the fact that Hamster (Colin) is no longer the premises manager at the school. But, Colin has been in touch with the Business Manager at the school to see if we can use it again this year and we are waiting for their answer. We should know soon (one way or another) and at that point we can either set a date for the Bash in the normal place or hunt around for somewhere new. My personal view is that the excellent facilities of the school combined with it's location with good transport links has helped make the SE Bash what it is, so if we can retain the school, I'm very keen to do so.. Nik Quote
silverfoxnik Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Quick heads up.. This year's SE Bash will be at the school in Addlestone as per normal, and will be held on [b]Saturday 23rd September[/b]. Will do a brand new thread for it over the weekend. Nik Quote
