It was a county of its own for many years before Avon) ... You live in CUBA now - Counties that Used to Be Avon +1 for Bristol or one in SE Wales, but not on the same day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRev Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm up for it (gigs allowing, etc). Brizzle is best for me though I'm happy with Bridgewater or Taunton. Venue wise, an alternative to the Drum Bank is Room 4 Studios in Whitehall (east Bristol). It's got three decent sized rooms plus a 'common room' type area with a pool table and tea and coffee facilities and they do food (burgers etc) as well. Parking isn't great though....

Josh Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Well it seems it's more likely going to be in Bristol, and unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the place to organise something. So really it's down to one of the Bristolians if this is going to happen. Edited December 4, 2008 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 [quote name='Josh' post='394959' date='Jan 29 2009, 09:21 PM']Nope.[/quote] Ok, anyone still interested in doing this? I'm very happy to help in any way. I've got a large, low ceiling modern church hall we can use for free, with PA, loads of parking, bogs, coffee and tea facilities, Tesco over the road, Costa and [b]plenty of pubs[/b]. Not forgetting the famous "Hovis Hill" to admire and role down. It's in Shaftesbury though, on the A350 so good for anyone coming up from Poole/Bournemouth/Southampton, or down from Bath/Brissle, or East from Wiltshire/Salisbury, or West from Yeovil and ye olde flat lands beyond. Anyway, don't want to step on any toes, just happy to help. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom in Dorset Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'd be interested subject to availability. I do repairs for a shop in Westbury, they'd probably be up for doing some sort of trade stand, would you be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceeds to a good cause. Looks like this needs to be "pinned" to grab a bit more attention and see how many are up for a get together and who's up for sharing the organising.

Taunton's straight forward for me to get to, and it's on M5 so easy to get to from Bristol and Devon/Cornwall. Happy to go anywhere and help out if needed, just be nice to have a get together.

If he's nearby, could invite him to do a "set up" masterclass if the bash is nearby, and drum up some more business for him/her?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
