obbm Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 [quote name='NickThomas' post='11404' date='Jun 3 2007, 02:17 PM']If I could think of somewhere suitable near me, I'd be more than happy to take the reins and get this this underway. Alas I cant but I really think someone has to take this under there wing much as Arrowhead Paul has done in the past. I'd just like to see this thing happen. Nick.[/quote] I am still persuing a couple of suitable venues. It will take a little longer. I really don't see the urgency, impatience and panic, just as long as it happens.

simon73 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 No ther is no urgency, just thought I would bump it! Good to see we are still all there with it. Its difficult being in the far corner of kent and out the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Am definitely interested in a 'southern' bash. Anywhere in or around london, or in Bucks! I'd say Essex is fine as well because it gives an excuse to see my parents, but again, am so busy that it might not be so practical!

dr.funk Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I have to say from a cheap point of view and close proximity backline in guildford seems a good option. I will try and remember to pop in and ask if I am in guildford today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've written to them twice outlining what we want to do and had zero response. That does not fill me with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi Mods - any chance of getting this pinned so we dont have to keep bumping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 [quote name='bass_ferret' post='16808' date='Jun 13 2007, 12:35 PM']Hi Mods - any chance of getting this pinned so we dont have to keep bumping it?[/quote] Yeh, seems a bit discrminatory against us southern folk to me Just to add my tuppence worth, if we draw a line from the [horse and cart]hest point south to where we have the usual bash in Northants, can I suggest that the venue should not be north of half way along that line (don't even try to work it out if you been drinking or medicating)? I can't see the point in having a southern bash in Essex or Bucks as thy're both pretty close to where the other bashes have been? Anyway, I'm gonna go to the midland bash as they seem to have their [Top Ten hit] together C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Today I visited backline Rehearsal Rooms at Guildford Station to have a look and discuss. It's a bit tacky but I'm sure that our bass gear will brighten it up. Thier live room should more than adequate. It's about 7m x 5m plus a good size stage. On a Saturday they rent out in 4-hour slots so we could have 10:00 -18:00. I'm prepared to underwrite the cost but we need a minimum of 10 attendees. Possible dates are: Saturday 11th August Saturday 18th August [i]Please state your preferred date and your committment to come.[/i] You know you want it to happen.

Stewart Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm up for either date - work might possibly stop me, but it's unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I can do the 11th but not the 18th (significant birthday party!). I'll commit to the 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobius Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Both are fine to me...I hope something doesn't come up and get in the way like the last 2 times, it would be great to actually come to a bash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both dates work for me, though the 18th is better..Would be great to go to so let's try and get a decision soon. Thanks Dave for checking the studio out by the way.

Mikey D Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'd be up for the 18th. I'm in ireland learning with Dominique Dipiazza and Rufus Reid on the 11th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's starting to look like the 18th but what happened to all those who were so keen for this to happen? Looking at the current numbers it is either not financially viable or we just do it beween 14:00 and 18:00. If the dates don't appeal then we could move it to October, November, December or later, or just forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickThomas Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 11th would be better for me . Playing on the 18th .. although I'd still probably be able to make it if it started late morning or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm playing on both 11th and 18th, but again, if its kinda morning/mid to late afternoon its all good!! Cool Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Dave, I say we go for the 18th of August, 10am-6pm, and if it's successful, then we could always run another one early next year for those who can't make it. So, by my reckoning, here's a list of those who say they can do the 18th: OBBM Silverfoxnik Sibob Nick Thomas G-77 Mickey D Mobius misrule Bloodaxe That's 9 already and The Beedster is up for this as well (aren't you Chris), so that'll be the 10! But let's see if we can get 15 or 20 and really make a day of it?
