While @Frank Blankand @Richmake very valid points about the factors influencing NpP, I maintain my stance that it cannot be predicted theoretically in advance. The idea is turtlely misguided.

Don't you mock those turtles

Souper!

Is the whole of BC to degenerate/ascend (choose your own adjective) to the level of the DOI? Can I find solace on the "Other Place"? Who makes Solace anyway?

[Rich]

I pride myself in being a degenerate.

No way is a gig going to chip away at my chances of attending this one. I am leaving the gig at home and using the car.

I expect to see some nice shiny new kit. I am also trying to arrange a fair amount of caboodle. Anyway that is enough carping on from me.

Alas, a lucrative dep gig on the Saturday night means that I might not now be able to make it to the SWBB after all.

Let's hope I'm not faced with that difficult choice 😉

[Andyjr1515]

I'm still coming...I think it is quite likely that I won't be facing the same difficult choice 

[Woodinblack]

[Stub Mandrel]

It's less than 7 weeks to the Big Fat South-West Bash Day - that's Sunday October 9th in case you didn't know! The winning formula remains unchanged:

 

        You pay a BARGAIN PRICE to EAT, DRINK and BASH yourself silly amidst AMAZING KIT in nice surroundings with like-minded folks and NO NEIGHBOURS TO WORRY ABOUT! 🥳

 

We're having to increase the Bash price this year, and here's why.

 

Last year for the first time, the Bash failed to break even. We knew our costs would be higher due to the pandemic but, in the hope of a higher than usual turnout thanks to 'pandemic bounce-back' effect, we decided to keep the all-in, attendance plus-food-price at £10 - and over-ordered on the T-shirts ☹️. In the event, what we got was the opposite, with a lower-than-normal attendance because many people were still cautious about socialising. Unfortunately, those food and drink prices have continued to rise, so this year's increase (the first and only one in 6 years) has to cover that too.

 

                                                           So this year's new, all-in price for the same top-quality Bash we all know and love is £13*.

 

As an extra guarantee that we'll break even, we also need advance payment from at least 25 of you. You can do this by pre-paying your £13 entrance or buying a Bash T-shirt in advance (£20 including p&p, £15 if collected at the Bash). As usual, just PM me and we'll sort it.

 

We can't wait to see you guys!

 

*And we can only do it at this price because, as a Trustee of the hall, I can hire it for the day at half price!
