Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) As promised, I'm copying the info in a new thread for clarity. [b]BC London Meetup[/b] [b]Saturday 26 May, from 12 pm[/b] [b]Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden, grassy area to the left of the entrance.[/b] I hope to see as many of you as possible! If the meetup is successful, I would be happy to organise something similar regularly in the future, for instance once a month, so that those who have to miss this one will be able to attend the next.

dave_bass5 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Cool, and good work. It might be a good opportunity to get some photos as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'll be there with my trusty compact Canon, and I'm looking forward to meeting you, Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'll probably bring my DSLR as i wont be drinking so can keep an eye on it. Look forward to meeting you, and any other as well. Fingers crossed the weather is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Many thanks for organising this, Bluejay. As usual I'll be combining this with a trip down to Surrey to visit my ancient old Dad. It will make a refreshing change. When I get fed up with all the demented rambling, repetitions of old stories and spilling of dinner onto trousers.... I'll go and visit Dad!!! Just joking, BCers... looking forward to seeing you all on 26th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yes, let's hope that the weather is fine and that this may be the start of a well-attended series of meetups. It's good to know each other in person, and not just because we might sell or buy something from each other in the future. We are a great community with the love of music at its heart.

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 We'll miss you, ped! Hopefully we'll organise another one soon and you'll be able to come along. I also missed you at the LBGS because you were there on the Sunday. Third time lucky, I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well I know what I would rather be doing... Hope you have a great time and seriously, don't get arrested too much. We can't handle the press fallout right now. In fact I'm washing my hands of the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No. as Ped said, we must not get ourselves arrested, which means Seashell and I - and any other girl attending - will NOT be wearing leather miniskirts, skimpy tops, stilettos or fishnets. And the long-haired, leather-clad guys among you will have to make sure you're not carrying any drugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 But we won't be allowed to have long hair or wear leathers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I was assuming Goose was one of those new soon-to-be-outlawed-designer-legal-highs that Sally Bercow is chomping at the bit to try. (BTW is she coming?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not sure if that is a little optimistic that we'd all turn out so often, but I think there is definate space for an annual London Summer do. Then we could have a Christmas Punch-Up, and not forgetting meeting at various gigs and shows, I think we'd be pretty well covered socially. Did you start a new thread? Here's the title... Ladies and Gents, The 1st Annual London Basschat Picnic. Edited April 14, 2012 by billyapple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I only suggested to make the meetup regular because there's always a sizeable number of people who can't make whatever date we choose, so presumably we'd see new faces every time. But you're right, it's probably overoptimistic. We'll see what we feel like doing once the first meetup has taken place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 There will be! Not just from my humble Canon compact but also from Dave, whose photo equipment and editing skills will eclipse anything I can do. I'm looking forward to this meetup!

Rumple Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Unfortunately I can't make it this time as it the day before I'm due to run a charity treasure hunt, so I shall be in 'headless chicken' mode sorting the last bits of preparation out, hopefully there will be another meet up in the future on a date I can make - Have Big Fun!

[/quote] You're making me blush now :-) Some bad news on my part. Ive been notified we have a 3pm sound check that day. Apparently the gig is now a "Variety night" and instead of just us its going to be about 4 acts on that night, so being the main act we have to be in early. ill still be around, just not for too long as ill need to leave my place at 2pm.
