[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1409669658' post='2542036'] Oops just realised I would have to leave at 12 noon as something family related in diary that afternoon. Colin/Nik, barring your splendid selves, how many arrived at last year's bash well before midday? If nearly everyone came in the afternoon, I will probably have to decline [/quote] Hi Clarky For the last few years, there's been quite a lot of people turn up bang on 10am, so I'd say it's probable we'll have 20-25 peeps before 12pm. They're the ones (like me) who've just come out of church, having been in to give our obligatory Sunday morning thanks that we're not 'guitarists'! Does that help? Nik

Thank you folks! I shall take that as a consensus

Hi Folks OK, having done the sums, we've a surplus of £62.35 from yesterday's Bash that we can donate to charity (after paying for venue costs and refreshments). John (Kiogon) was saying to me when he and i were chatting that he'd be quite happy if any surplus was donated to the disability charity I work for called Enable Me (www.enablemeproject.org.uk). However, before doing that, I wanted to check in with you all to see if you are happy with that idea? To give a bit of background, Enable Me is a disability awareness raising charity that provides opportunities and support for disabled people. It's a small charity and I am the CEO, having been here since it started in 2005. Loraine (Mrs Silverfoxnik) also works for the charity from time to time and she runs our film/animation workshops which are specifically for the benefit of children & young people with autism & learning difficulties. Enable Me has benefited before from donations from the South East Bash on a couple of occasions over the years, and that's because I've put it forward for consideration.. Obviously, I think it's a worthy cause, but then again - I am rather biased. So, please have a think and let me know your thoughts, Thanks Nik

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1409567861' post='2540860'] Glad you liked the bass Nik. I'll make contact with MIke so the K140 can be handed over for some experimentation. I had bought it because I recall reading that Norman Watt-Roy used them in the cabs he had made back in the early days of the Blockheads. [/quote] Sounds great - thanks Steve [quote name='rumblefish' timestamp='1409571677' post='2540937'] Thx Nik [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]& Lorraine for organising a v[/font][/color]ery enjoyable Sunday Bass Bash,great to meet up with some fellow players and check out the gear and stuff and my wife was impressed that I did not buy any more gear. [/quote] Glad you enjoyed it Rob and am impressed that you didn't buy any gear... There was some very tempting stuff there though I have to say
