Oh, I was looking forward to trying the Club.  And that Roscoe looks a beauty.  Never mind!  Next year...!

I'll see if I can pick one up on the way.

DVLA have very kindly renewed my licence (jeez what a pain that was), so I'm hoping to get down to this if I can sort out a hotel.

Looking to put names to faces and of course satisfy some GAS curiosity. Particularly looking at shorties, 5s and amps. Will bring my Bass Uke for giggles.

[Richard R]

@jebroad- what's the arrival and departure time?

Hi everyone, I was away from the site for a very long time so I missed the whole convo.

It would be great if you could write the details for this please. I get that it is on the 4th but where and what time?

I can bring along my 4 jazz basses, a custom 6 string fretless and my upright. Not sure about the amp though

You mean the information we need is at the start of the thread, so everyone can easily find it?  What is this new fangled madness??

Thanks both,  see you there 😁

[jebroad]

Quick update-

 

We've got our own Track And Trace QR code. Although none of us have got any obligation to use it, I would very much encourage and reccomend it. If we can prove to the venue that we can be responsible with covid precautions- it might bode well for the future.

 

This year may well turn out as a smaller event than last time (no guest speakers, fewer commercial exhibitors, etc) but the venue is cheap and there is still a pandemic on. 

 

Gear-sharing and clothes remain optional and down to individuals.

 

Oh, and bring cake.

Now I'm REALLY sorry to miss this year.  That's going to be a heck of an ice breaker...

I wouldn't be allowed to - my daughter works for Cadbury's and McVities are a competitor. However I'll see what she can get from the staff shop for raffle prizes. If we're having a raffle?

hotel room booked, bag packed, Uke bass in case.

Sorry guys and girls, I'm having to pull out. I got pinged by the NHS app  last night and had a PCR test today and am awaiting the results. So Peed off, I was really looking forward to this.
