The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash - Now Sunday 19th September 2021

OK guys, it's decision time again!  Despite the positive trend at the moment, we're looking at putting this back to September 19th to be really REALLY sure.  We want the event to be completely free from even the slightest covid concern and, equally important, to not be further complicated by any covid-related safety measures that will increase the already considerable work-load on the team.  July or August would probably be equally good but I can imagine that holiday catch-up plans would impact on attendance.  Comments please!

Sorry for any further disappointment caused but we WILL get there!

They've rescheduled it again to July... :|

Unless one of the variants really cuts loose, we could hgave done it earlier but September seems the right time. Infections will be naturally lower and the vaccines should have really done their stuff by then.

Excellent. TBH it doesn't matter how long it takes, we'll be there.

Thanks for the feedback.  Given that no-one disagrees with our reasoning in terms of covid, I'll confirm that date with the hall - which is their only free Sunday in September btw.  Sincere apologies to woodinblack, GrahamT and anyone else who isn't free to attend.

Oh I can become free - you don't get rid of me that easily.

Perhaps re-update the first post? 🙂

Are there any recommendations for accommodation on Saturday night if I decide to make a weekend?

I stayed at the Travelodge in Wellington, about 8 miles away, perfectly good, will be doing the same this year.

Now this is shaping up as an international event, we'll sort out some B&B addresses for you guys.

... and first post now updated - what a useful tool that strike-through option is.  If what they're now saying about everybody being vaccinated by the end of July, I'd say Sept 19th should be spot on.  Can't wait to demo my Mesa Subway TT800 and sell a few bits and pieces.

BRING IT ON!!!
