[quote]From the A14, exit at junction 26 following signs for St Ives (A1096).

Continue on the A1096 for 1.5 miles going straight on over 3 roundabouts until you see the Silvaco building.

Turn left at the Silvaco roundabout onto the A1123.

Continue over the next roundabout onto St Audrey's Lane.

At the main set of traffic lights (by the Toyota dealership and the Seven Wives pub), turn left onto Ramsey Road.

Slepe Hall Hotel is on the left hand side after approx. 500 yards.[/quote]

The hire of the hall is £200 for the whole day which is great! - The venue requires payment up front - We therefore need twenty people (or more) to pay the £10 entrance fee up in advance, so that we can have the building. I'm definitely paying in advance, as I think the Bash is going to be a great success.

Person to rececive the cash to be arranged. In the meantime, if you are happy to pay in advance, PLEASE add your name to the list at the end of the thread.

I am hoping that we are going to get lots of you coming along - so any proceeds left after the venue has been paid for, will go to the following charity:

Old post for info:

A small discussion has started in a thread about having an East Anglia Bass Bash.

(here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100597&st=20&gopid=939960&#entry939960)"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry939960)[/url]

I'm just posting here to get an idea about who may be interested and to continue the discussion. I know what a b@ll@che it is to get out of Norwich and am sure there are plenty of Bass Players who have turned down some of the other bashes because they are further afield.

We have some good resources nearby and am wondering if Cambridge might be a good place to host? Just a few ideas - lemme know your thoughts.

I'm looking forward to the next BIG bash as well - I'll certainly be attending, if I can!

Cambs would be great for me although I don't know of a venue that would accommodate us. But then again I have never had to sort something of this size before.

Count me in! I'll bring along my pbass and school. Maybe my amps too

I live in Suffolk.
I can't slap.
I'm not sure how much slap I can tolerate.
I guess there is only one way to find out

[charic]

I can't slap either

[Lfalex v1.1]

Work commitments (etc.) permitting, I'd be up for one in Cambs..
EDIT- Or Suffolk, for that matter.
Norfolk is less accessible.
I guess Essex is considered to be "South East", rather than East Anglia.

[stinson]

Count me in

[zero9]

Count me in.

[Bottle]

Me too - I'm in

I'll see if the main auditorium in the Perse Girls school in Cambridge is free - any idea which day people would be gunning for? I ask because the church I go to hires the hall on a Sunday morning

HTH, Ian

[E sharp]

OOOHH YES . I'm free .

Excellent

[Gamble]

YUZZ PLZZ!

[lonestar]

I'd be very keen to come along, especially on a Sunday in Cambridge. The Perse would be a great venue.
Build it and they will come!

[RockfordStone]

id be game if the date and location is ok

[EvilSmile]

i'm game if it's before i go back to uni

[moonbass]

I'd be keen if I'm free.

[northstreet]

I'll be up for it if it's Cambridge or thereabouts.

[charic]

Seeming a popular idea. I dont know about you guys but I'd be aiming for Sat or Sun.

[peted]

Ooh. Count me in too

[Bilbo]

Me too, other obligations permitting (that'll be gigs )

[3V17C]

yeah may be up for this, though cambridge is still a bit of a hike from here.. do it in norwich!!!

[lonestar]

Ah Norwich! It's not the end of the world but you may be able to see it from there.

Nooo! Im just outside Cambridge!

[BTS_Spacebass]

T-dawg would probably be up for this. Never been to anything like it before.

Also +1 for can't slap lol

[pete.young]

Yes, me too.

I've thought about running one in Ipswich : my son's school has a great setup very similar to the one that silverfoxnik used for the last SE Bass Bash but I don't know what it would cost. I can find out if you like: one advantage is that the head of music is a bass player and thoroughly nice chap too.

Failing that, I have a slight preference for Cambridge over Narrdge - it takes about the same length of time to get there from here, but Naarrdge seems to take a lot longer!

[allighatt0r]

I'm in! Might bring my cheap tat for a laugh!

I can't slap either, and it would have to be on a weekend for me too.

[Dood]

Excellent - well it looks like the event could have a good tun out then! No idea when, how , who or what - but if it's gonna be in Cambridge, anyone know any good venues?
