Rich Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I haven't voted for Chepstow as we've already had a South Wales bash (for which, many thanks to Si), and it adds another £5.30 to the travel costs of everyone in the SW unless they fancy a huge detour.
Bass-ic Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 Chepstow was just an option. I was going to put down Nempnett Thrubwell but that would only have been for comedy value and also difficult to find!
Rich Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 For comedy value we could also have Chew Magna, Curry Rivel, and Nimlet
Master blaster Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 cant you just get a map and find where a good central point for the south west will be cos theres no way i will drive all the way to shaftsbury, and shaftsburys pretty much in the south not the south west. Im sure it will make things hard for people who want to go from north/west devon and cornwall. Exeter would be the most ideal cos its right next to the m5 and the a38. Well tbh minehead would be ideal for me but seeing only 2 people think minehead then im sure it wont be a popular choice. Well not unless people fancy a day out in butlins.

Perhaps now would be a good time to volunteer.

Telebass Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Chepstow not SW... Shaftesbury not SW... Faaaar as Oi'm consarned, ought beyond Devon b'aint SW... So let's have the Bash right in the middle of the SW - in Plymouth!
Telebass Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 On't other 'and maybe it should then be called the FAR South West Bass Bash! On a more realistic note, Taunton would be about right, I reckon.
Bass-ic Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Next question. I have not been to a 'bash' and am not sure what the score is, and neither do I have access to what I think should be a good enough venue. Has anyone been from the SW ever been involved in organising one and does anyone have a venue but can't organise? Its time to get this show on the road. Edited March 2, 2010 by Bass-ic

Nope, I have nothing witty or interesting to show anymore. [quote name='Rich' post='760799' date='Mar 1 2010, 02:55 PM']Ah, well at least it doesn't have That Smell any more.

Dom in Dorset Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I'm one of the six (YES SIX!!!) who voted for Shepton Mallet. At the end of the day it's the guy who gets off his @ss and organises it that chooses the location. So go on ....choose!!! (Shepton Mallet)

On a serious note, venue wise, it does have a decent enough village hall with three seperate rooms, next-door to a pub/restaurant and within spitting distance of a decent sized free car park.

I could probably make it there, not sure about others.
oldslapper Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Not enough love for the Shaftesbury option? 11 people would be more like a "tap" than a "bash" Not been to one before, so is there a minimum number to make it work? Anyone willing/able to organise something in Bristol/Exeter as they seem to be favs at the mo', I'm happy to help on the day, but a bit far to organise venue/shops, etc. before hand. OS
stevie Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 There are times when I think democracy is not all it's cracked up to be.
orangepeelneil Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 [size=3]Has anything been confirmed yet? Something soon would be good? I'm sure I could sort out a suitable venue in Bristol if that was the plan, or be happy to help in anyway. Cheers Neil[/size]
Bass-ic Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 I am going to suggest that this thread gets closed as presently, nothing seems to be happening at all with the organisation of a SW Bass Bash. In fact I believe that it is in fact almost detrimental to one ever being organised. I think that the one person who was making definite in roads to possibly organise one, may well have been marginalised by the application of the current poll. For that, I apologise. Hopefully, if another thread does appear on this subject, it will be when therhe is a chance that the bash might happen, which I truly hope it does as it was this thought that prompted me to answer the question in the first place. I hope this is OK with everyone, unless of course you all strongly disagree. Cheers Matt
