That's the spirit!! This one is shaping up to be the 'We Beat The Lurgi Bash'. Mmmm... commemorative T-shirt anybody? 🤔

Oh no!!!! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery - i.e. before Sunday 🙂

I'm a big fan of their stuff and the couple of Eden amps that I've owned are the only ones I've ever regretted selling.

I've gone ahead and bought 4 strips of the cable guard recommended by Stub Mandrel for the Bash to complement the rubber guard I normally bring. Apart from the aspect of keeping tape off the floor, the hall Trustees have been having a blitz on risk management and I'm having to do this as I've assessed tripping over cables as one of the main risks of the event. As everyone realises, the Bash has always been priced to break even. I'm therefore asking/inviting/imploring/begging (delete as appropriate 🙂 ) everyone to pay an extra £2 on the door to help cover the £68 unexpected additional cost. At £15 a head, the Bash is still a bargain. (If anyone isn't prepared to contribute, that will be OK too.) No need for discussion on here about the above btw. Whatever happens on the door will be fine by me.

Thank goodness for that. Hands up those who thought Pandora was his wife!

IMPORTANT NOTICE As our regulars already know, we are not set up for bank-card transactions. 'On the door' entry payments (£13) and purchases of raffle tickets and Bash T-shirts will therefore be cash only.

We'll be having 20 minutes per hour quiet time in the main hall starting on the half-hour to fit in with the 12.30pm lunch time. During those periods anyone wanting to play can either use headphones in the main hall or go through the practice amp that I'll set up in the smaller meeting room.

PM sent.

It gives me great pleasure to announce Mrs. Scrumpy's 2025 Bash menu folks!! Mrs Scrumpys menu Oct 25.docx

Neepheid my friend, I think you're suffering from a bout of what's known in medical circles as 'bass-bash angst'. Luckily this condition only flares up once a year and there's a simple cure: apple crumble administered by mouth.

As long as you remember to keep your mouth shut.

Smart move Rob. That would also get you the 'furthest travelled' award this year.

Just ordered 4 lengths on behalf of the Bash for delivery tomorrow.

Yes please. PM sent.

Is it the black one from the Bass Gallery?

Off topic I know but is anybody in a band that could dep for us (In Like Flynn) at the Merriott Social Club TA16 5NP from 9 til 11 tomorrow night? Our singer seems to coming down with a bug that's started in her throat today. Fraid it's one of the first bookings we took when we launched the new band so not great money at £320. If you can help, please PM me or call me on 07770 946135. If you want to see the kind of stuff we do visit inlikeflynnband.com and jump on our show reel. Thanks, Mike

What I've got is rubber channelling with a lengthways central split so you can push the cables through the split into the cavity. Obviously you could slit through the pvc - provided it's not too rigid.

Isn't that the NHS replacement testicle implant?

OK, just keep 'em coming! I'm waiting for the football boots, track spikes and golf shoes...

As I hit the 'submit' button I knew it would just be a matter of time. Thanks guys, you have not let me down 🙂

And another thing 🙂 Since last year's Bash, the hall floor has been sanded and re-finished at substantial expense. Apart from asking for especially respectful use this time, I'd like anyone who has suitable (i.e. flat rubber) cable ducting to please bring it along to supplement what I already have. People tripping over cables is top of my risk-assessment list but gaffer tape will definitely be a no-no from now on. I'll be bringing a few rolls of wide masking tape or other low-tack tape if I can find something suitable. Any suggestions anybody? Ta very much!

Definitely, and thanks for taking the recycling mission on.

Hi Phil, Many thanks. See you soon. Mike
