I had previously gone to several bass shows, typically taking along at least a car/van full of degree students with me. The show's coincidence with the busy start of a new academic year combined with an afternoon gig on the Saturday meant that I was unable to attend, so I gave it a miss this year. I was dubious anyway with the guitar/bass amalgamation, so hopefully the points highlighted above will be resolved / improved for next year's show. Personally, I hope that the date will change too, preferably back to the Spring (fingers crossed).
