Richard R Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I don't have cakes, but I have chocolates as raffle prizes, @nickmew's Phil Jones Double 4 shoebox amp, and a luggage scale for weighing basses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Bassoon Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hi guys, I've just registered, having been lurking for the past couple of weeks. Can anyone just turn up or do we have to give names first? Also are we expected to bring along basses, amps etc or can I arrive empty handed? Apologies if these question have been answered elsewhere but I can't be arsed to read through 26 pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going empty handed too, no requirement to bring anything other than your good self (and a fiver to get in). 13 minutes ago, Benjamin Bassoon said: Apologies if these question have been answered elsewhere but I can't be arsed to read through 26 pages.

Frank Blank Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Bleary-eyed, hungry and with Travelodge blandness fatigue I staggered out of the ‘hotel’ this morning in search of food. Bolstered by coffee and vegan sausage rolls I jumped in the car without consulting my watch. I am now outside Doveridge Village Hall a full 2hrs and 34 mins early *sigh*. I am a serial early arriver, I’ve arrived days early for things before, never mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petecarlton Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Absolutely, Simon. Thanks @jebroad Jamie, and thank you too to everyone who attended and to those who offered their advice and experience, their interest and their enthusiasm. It was a splendid afternoon and I'm looking forward to the next (perhaps better-attended, when things have opened up a little - fingers crossed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just back from the Midlands Bash, cheers @jebroad for organising the event. I didn’t stay for long, I was only there to pick up a bass from @Jabba_the_gutand I had convinced myself beforehand that it wasn’t really safe enough yet for gatherings. I shouldn’t have worried, @jebroad had opened all the windows, there was an excellent amount of mask wearing and no idiocy around wearing or not wearing them, I was only there for 30 mins but on the way home I began to regret not staying, it was really lovely to see the folk I got to see and I felt bad picking up my bass and then taking it away from people who might have wanted to try it out. Oh well, you live you learn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petecarlton Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) While I'm at it, I want to get hold of the Jez who was at the Bash today - there are so many Jez's on the forum, it's difficult to know who is who.

zbd1960 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 NBD you say? Let's just say I was >extremely< disappointed to find a luthier there who is about a 30 minute drive away from home.... That could be detrimental to my financial well-being... 🤦♂️ It's not as if I don't have a music room that's got a piano, 2 viols, 2 cellos, 4 saxes, and 3 basses in it..... 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
