Please enlighten the uninitiated. Cheers.[/quote] In essence, local Basschat members turn up, share a few beers, have a go on each others gear, and come away with lots of GAS!

When you're talking in text and it's so impersonal, it's nice to meet people and have a good natter and get to know the faces behind the usernames a bit.

Prime_BASS Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If I had the spare cash I'd go ahead and book. I think if someone gets some names down and then we can see how many are definatly interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johngh Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If someone can find out dates the room is free that would do it. It would save me a 20 mile trek into Notts. I'm quite happy to get things moving after that. Then we can get a list of names who are interested. Once we get a date I can pin the topic at the top of General Bass Disscusion.

budget bassist Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'll give them a ring at some point, unless someone else wants to do it? i'm a little busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I might be able to do it some time this week. What dates are we provisionally looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-string-thing Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'd definitely be up for this provided the date fits in with work etc, or there was enough notice to make arrangements..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Maybe a weekend 4 weeks from now. Weekend as a lot of people like me won't have college or work anyway and 4 weeks as it's enough time to garner extra interest and if you do need to book it off as a holiday day then usually your employer requires an advance notice of 4 weeks.

If the date is made firm, I'm sure a list of names will put up. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I can probably come for an hour or so, I would have organised it but can't be there all day to collect the money as I have a partner with a debilitating illness and a small baby.

ThomBassmonkey Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I can't make Saturdays. I'm free most Sundays though (unless we have a gig miles away). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have a chance to enquire about availability for the room at the Grosvenor tomorrow. Can we have a rough consensus on dates? Sunday June 6th - please make sure that there are no major sporting events on that afternoon that people might rather want to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Sorry I'm not going to get a chance to see them today, and TBH I'm going to be hard pushed to find the time for the next week or so. If anyone else can check with the Grosvenor instead that would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 6th of june... i may be away then, definitely can't make the two weekends after that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Ok seems a a fair few can't make the weekend of 5th 6th. So another weekend further in the future should be called. Any weekend is fine by me I'm lolucky enough to have it off every week. It may probably do for people to note what they will take, for example I'll take my rig, so a few more people can try a compact out, and the OTB.
