South west BassBash

[oldslapper]

Had a search for an existing thread, but couldn't find one. Feel free to show me the link to one tho'.

Has there been a south west bass bash recently?

If not is there one planned?

Who organises them?

Thanks.
John

I organised the South Wales on in November ..
You do it yourself, basically ...

Cheers, OldGit.
Sounds daunting, but I'd be happy to do it!
Presumably find out who'd be interested, find a central venue, etc.
Did you have to charge a sub to cover venue costs, or did you find a place for free. Anything I'd need to be aware of?
I'd appreciate any pointers from your experience please??

Theres a thread that I started a while ago about this. It was generally received well. due to work, I wasnt able to do much more about it. I think Josh had a few ideas about running it.

Put me down as a possible definite.
Where and when were you thinking of doing this?

PM'd

you might like to ask the more experienced guys too. Search for "bash" and you'll find a few others to ask.

Don't know yet. I'm in Shaftesbury which is fairly central A30 (M3), A303, A350. So is accessible for Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, Bristol, Bournemouth, Poole, etc.

But looks like a lot to organise, but am happy to do whatever I can.

I get jealous when I see all these other bash's going on and thought it would be good to get the west country one resurected, there seems to be a couple of people who were happy to organise last time.

Have to see what the reaction is to this thread.

Cheers,
John

Shaftesbury is fine by me, I'm just up the road in Bruton.
I've got a lot on my plate but I'm happy to help as time allows.

Cheers Dom.

I teach in Bruton once a week, do you ever go to the acoustic nights? I used to.

[Dom in Dorset]

I used to be one of the organisers of the acoustic night.
Let's just say I don't go any more!
There is a new one starting in the (re-opened, clean and nice) Castle Inn on 12thy Feb, I'll be playing there.
