64k Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1373733800' post='2141106'] YAY! If you decide on a date, let us know so I can tweet it to our followers like I do for the other meetups and bashes. [/quote] Thanks Bluejay that would awesome! I haven't organised anything like this before, so I'm open to suggestions on how to proceed. I think firstly we need to establish interested, I count 7 so far with including people I've spoke to offline. Then I guess picking a venue would be next, I have The Leopard pub in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent in mind as I know the land lady and I'm sure she could accomodate us in the back room, plus she's a drummer and the food is excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'll have some of that, count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skychaserhigh Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I would be interested in coming to this depending on where and when it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64k Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 I count 9, would everybody be happy with the meet up happening in Burlsem, Stoke-on-Trent ? If so I'll contact the Leopard pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skychaserhigh Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64k Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 I've spoken to the land lady at the Leopard and the function room is available to use with a little notice as there quite busy. http://www.burslem-leopard.co.uk/ Is there any preference on what day of the week is best for people? i.e weekday or weekend? I suppose the weekend maybe a little busy for people with families and also the venue. As far as a date goes I think round about 3 - 4 weeks from now?

Skezza Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yeah sounds like a plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Well done for strarting to get this off the ground. The trouble with weekdays is that a lot of us have day jobs. You're right that weekends can also be tricky as people have commiments and gigs etc. But all the bashes I have been to before have been on a Saturday afternoon. I'd struggle to get over to Staffs on a weekday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm up for it too. Seem to have a rather fallow period at the moment so I'm not particular about date, a Saturday or Sunday afternoon would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 If I'm free I'll come, I have a lot of gigs on Sundays though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64k Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Glad were building up quite a bit of interested, I'm going to give it another few days then settle on a date. I'm also thinking about contacting maybe https://www.theacademyofsound.co.uk/ to see if they want to come along, maybe bring few basses. Also http://www.rhythmfoundry.co.uk/, they can plug there lesson and I know Dean is a Drummer, maybe we could get him to bust out some beats for us to jam to!
