sarah thomas Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 TheRev mentioned looking into hiring a room at Bristol uni to have a workshop, and there was also talk of chipping in a tenner each to pay tutors for time and travel. I don't think it's gone any further. Can we make this happen? Perhaps those interested could pm me and at least we'd have a list of folks who were up for it. Some indication of what you might be able to contribute would be great too. For instance, my teacher might be up for doing a session, and I'd bring my B & H import Artia bass strung with medium Helicore hybrids. Also a German bow. I'd be happy to help organise this but wouldn't want to do it solo. (My solos are ruled by luck.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 So the two proposed venues for the Yorkshire event are Canterbury and Bristol. You lot just dream of the Beautiful South don't you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I could host one in my Church hall but am at the top of North Wales and I guess off the beaten track. What would be great would be to have one with an acknowledged DB luthier on hand to advise on setups/repairs etc. Obv we would need to fund this if enough people were interested.

Beedster Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 So now the Yorkshire meet-up is going to be in Wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think that makes Wales officially a part of Yorkshire, according to some old law I'll pretend I read on the internet once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Does that mean that the law allowing an Englishman to use a crossbow to shoot a Welshman in the grounds of Hereford Cathedral on a Monday if it's not snowing now extends to Yorkshiremen, I'm confused?

thisnameistaken Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Pretty sure Yorkshiremen can shoot anyone they want north of Watford. SRSLY though I am apparently, as a free man of York, legally required to practise archery weekly on St. George's Field, which is currently a car park.

[/quote] Typical urban myth ! It's actually ' any Englishman can use ANY SORT OF WEAPON on a Yorkshireman if he is spotted within 200 yards of a church on any day with a Y in it'. Something that dates back to the War of the Roses I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Fortunately Yorkshiremen are impervious to weapons and not gullible enough to go to church. (OK it's a fair cop we just don't like the collection bowls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggiesnr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I can find a venue in Hull (dependent on date and time, would probably need to be a mid-week evening) but I suspect that Hull might be a bit out on a limb for most people.

sarah thomas Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hull mid-week would be impossible for me. North Wales on a weekend, though, would be fine. Even if it's raining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I would be happy to organise the thing in Bangor, North Wales, but feel we would probably not reach critical mass. You can be certain about the rain. How many would we need to make it happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
