seashell Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 A BBQ at GW's sounds lovely, but I'm afraid it's a bit far East for me I just really link up with you Lunnoners if there is something going on within easy reach of Dad's when I am paying him one of my regular visits. But Greenwich would be a bit difficult to get to. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for other meet ups which might be a bit easier. The SE Bass Bash for instance - if that's in Addlestone again I'll be up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I am sorry that you feel Greenwich is too far away, but it's only 7 miles down from the Southbank where you did go last time. I have to travel every weekend by car to my son in Richmond on the opposite side of London on the dreaded A205 South Circula it 16 miles that take 2 hours each way there and back of hell. One of the worst London roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thing is, Cental London is only 20 - 30 mins away from Walton on Thames (where Dad is) by train. A meeting involving bringing my bass would involve driving, and I'm a nervous driver, no good at following directions and hopeless at parking. Apart from that I'm fine! And of course I'm starting the journey in Birmingham. With the London and SE things I'm just a bit of a gate crasher really. Just tagging along if things are in the vicinity of Dad. I'm sure there will be plenty of 'proper' London bass players to make a meeting in Greenwich go with a swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Monday is 4th June. I might make it but not 100% sure at this stage. Perhaps the date is a bit too close to be sure many of us aren't booked on other commitments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
