Once again, a good time was had by all.

Last but by no means least, thanks as always to Phil Starr, Stevie, chienmortbb and MoJoKe for bringing your knowledge, expertise and products to the party. 👍

On a serious note, the videos of both the 8” cab build and the PA shootout will be online later today.

I'm pretty sure that face is Stew trying to figure out how he's going to afford a cab and fit it in his house.

I'm gutted that I have only just seen this. My own fault for not being active on BC enough. I'm only down the road from there in Shaftesbury. Looks like it was a great event.

Save the (approximate) date for next year!

FYI I have blocked off the weekend of 11th/12th October 2025 in the band calendars in anticpation of next year's bash being hopefully around the same time next year.  Gutted I missed it this year, so am doing all I can to ensure I will be available.

Me and Mrs. S set the stopwatch running. It's taken you 3m25sec to reply - what kept you? Don't forget you'll need a bigger car for next year.😄

It's in my diary.

 

I guess it gives me 12 months to build one of Steve's diy cabs!

In my calendar. Saturday night gig is fairly local so that’s a plus!

[Richard R]

In my Calendar.

 

I shall book the fortnight before off work and spend it in isolation to avoid catching lurgis, getting hit by a bus, or anything else that would possibly prevent me from getting there.  I shall also persuade my better half that we should move to the village so I can walk to the bash in case of roadworks on the M6.

Thanks Michael, just to say that if anyone there goes across to the PA shootout and can add any of their comments (on the speakers) I'd really appreciate it
