What might not be clear in any of the previous posts to people who have not been to a bash before is that you can either pay on the door or you can send a message to @scrumpymike and ask for his paypal address and then send £13 to it by friends and family, in which case it is paid and you are then on the list, where you will be allowed through the security cordon as an express VIP * Failing that, just send a message saying you are definately turning up and will pay at the door. * some of that might be overhyped Just for clarity and transparency: 1) We need at least 25 x £13 to break even, which is why we ask anyone who's willing to pay up front. 2) You don't have to pay in advance or even confirm - you can just turn up and pay on the door. 3) However, from the planning and organising point of view, it's helpful to us to also know all those who are not paying up front but definitely intend to come. 4) On the few occasions when it's happened, we've always refunded anyone who's already paid but been unable to make it for whatever reason. In practice, the raffle always makes a significant contribution to financing the event - but we obviously can't count on it. Any remaining cash balance is used for booking the hall (which I get at a reduced rate cos I'm a Trustee 🙂). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I've been umming and ahhing as to whether or not I can drag my backside out of bed (as I'll be gigging the night before and it'll end up being a late one) but put me down as confirmed - can't take it with me 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I shouldn't be so lazy on the weekends, but when you've been getting up at 04:45 for the last 10 years, it does become quite tempting to have a lie-in, particularly when getting to bed in the wee small hours (in our house 08:00 is considered a lie-in)😄 Sorry, missed your question - in Salisbury, The Huntsman's Tavern Edited September 13, 2023 by Thor Added a few bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Yeah, if it means a few extra quid each to make the magic figure of £325 then recalculate away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba_the_gut Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 For anyone that is unsure about this bass bash, it is a really relaxed event. There’s no relentless slapping or folk trying to show how good they are (I’d fail anyway!) just a load of different gear and people with a common interest. Ask yourself how often you can chat about basses without the other person falling asleep or asking why you need more stuff…… 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
