Yay, less than 2 weeks to go!

I’m about to play gig 3 of 4 of the Bank Holiday weekend, and I’m using the Puma I bought from you. It’s bleedin’ marvellous.

Yeah, way too good to be a backup, innit? Enjoy!

I tried to get to the Aspinall Arms. I actually got in the car park and couldn’t find a space , tried to get out and an oil tanker was stuck as people had blocked both sides of the road. Tempers were starting to rise, so I abandoned the attempt. I could see the white marquee and hear music but couldn’t park

hope the gig went well. Let me know the next time you’re playing.

Oh heck, sorry Rob. It was a pretty good gig, but our gig at the Rose & Crown later was better. The Aspinall was absolutely rammed with people. They must make a mint.

Not your fault. It sounded good from the car park. My fault for leaving it too late.

You know why I'm here... ONE WEEK TO GO

rwillett · May 11

Oddly enough just received an email confirming payment and key access at the same time as your notification. So hall now confirmed.

We have the whole hall including kitchen.flr the whole day.

My daughters have promised to do some baking the night before. Food, tea and coffee will be free but a contribution to one of my daughters charity's welcomed.

Clapham is not a major metropolis not even a small village. We have a village shop, we have a decent cafe at the Old Sawmill, a pub and a bar that has new management and that's about it.

I'm happy to do breakfast bacon or sausage butties in the morning at the hall if people would be interested. For lunch i can pizzas in the oven. That might be easiest but am happy with any other suggestions.

I’ll have this to bring along Matt. I’ve been busy and I’ve forgotten to do a modding thread.

Will be interesting to AB with an unmodified D5, looking forward to that!

Richard R · May 12

This is going to be fab. Gutted I can't be there 😪

rwillett · May 12

You can still come...

rwillett · May 12

Does anyone have any special dietary requirements please? Please note fillet steak, Chateaubriand, Montrachet and freshly caught scallops are not dietry requirements unless you bring a note from your doctor and your mum.

So if you are vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, nut free, diary free, gluten free or something else please let me know through a DM.

I am planning to put pizzas in the oven for lunch so will have a selection but it would be good to know if people can't eat somethings.

If there is enough demand, happy to do bacon or sausage (meat and/or vegetarian) for breakfast.

@neepheid can you let me know approx when you intend to come please? You are welcome at any time as I work from home.

I also still have a spare bedroom with a double bed if anybody needs somewhere to stay for either Fri or Sat.

Thanks

Rob

I also had to do a double take the first time I saw your pic - I was looking at it on my phone and that towel is obscuring the E tuner successfully enough for me to initially think "has it been converted into a 3 string bass?"

Not with the amount of travelling I already have to do this week 😪

I shall enjoy the photos, then get off my backside and sort out next year's Midlands Bass Bash.

This is very thoughtful of you, Rob. No dietary issues from me ... as my old dad used to say, "Eats anything, fond of children."!
