Alpha-Dave Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Cambridge would be better, or at least a place off the M1 or A1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha-Dave Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes, I was referring to Ped's suggestion for the next 'national' bash, and the midlands get their name for a very good reason that I won't explain. The south-east one should of course be in the centre of the south-east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit set in my ways and don't like change. Have we been barred from the ususal place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 No not at all - just throwing it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Somewhere M40 Oxford way would be OK - just not in Oxford itself. Some of us missed the South East bash so it would not be overkill for us but yes spring would be good. I dont think school holidays is such a good idea because people often take their family holidays during the school hols and non resident parents often also have their children in the school holidays.

Gazm Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I don't think the opinions for the national bash location will be very balanced given the title of this thread. Just my 2p. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 One issue is that the reason it was in Northampton first was because the place was very close to Paul's house - it is much easier to scope out locations and so on when you know the area, and can get to the venue before everyone else on the day!

Bloodaxe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well, First up a huge (if belated) thanks to OBBM for organising the bash, great news on the "operating surplus" as well, thanks again Dave, & here's to the next one! Thanks also to (Silverfox)Nik & Walman for letting me noodle around on their WALs - first time I've ever met one in the flesh & I can see why they have their followers. I'm certainly in favour of an Oxford-esque centre for the next National Bash, mainly as I have associations with the area so can make a weekend of it at nominal cost - although so long as I can get to the venue by public transport I'm not fussy. I have a couple of ideas for a location, but will check 'em out & run it by Ped to see what he thinks. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Great to hear that we raised £130 for a good cause and thanks for sorting that out Dave; excellent work!! Mind you, does that make the Basschat SE Bash the bass player's version of a Salvation Army Coffee Morning?? If so, we need some Hobnobs at the next one and hairnets all round! [i]"Thanks also to (Silverfox)Nik & Walman for letting me noodle around on their WALs - first time I've ever met one in the flesh & I can see why they have their followers"[/i] Cheers Pete - enjoyed the noodle on the Arias as well... I'm up for another SE Bash and/or the next National one, depending on all the usual provisos but particularly location. Mind you, I wouldn't want it to appear that the National Bash choice of location is being monopolised by people from the South East. That's why I thought the SE Bash two weeks ago was such a great idea. Solved that particular problem... With so many people to cater for, the earlier we book in some dates the better, so let's book some dates in soon. Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working, the only serious bit I do a year, at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam. Lots of lovely kit, stunning pictures and many pointers to the future. I also found out a bit more about the future of wireless mic channel 69. I'll post on that later. I had the most diabolical journey home yesterday but that's another story. If anyone needs a cowboy outfit for their son for Xmas I recommend they buy Flybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilmour Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 If you are looking for somewhere near Oxford ther is Plug'nPlay studios in Reading (about 30 mins from Oxford) I really like it there 3 sound proofed rooms, but one is a main perfomrance room with a stage and Bar that they use for gigs in the evenings. www.plugnplay.tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
