Brilliant, looking forward to this very much. I should be there around 10:00AM or perchance a little before depending on when I can prise myself out of bed.

Yay, a week to go!  Today is planning day - do I have enough stands?

 

EDIT - EEK, I do not!  Glad I checked!

Speaking of stands - and who isn't these days? - I have this 3-slot Tiger stand going spare to anyone who's interested - no money will change hands. I'll bring it along on Saturday.

EDIT: This stand has found a new forever home. It's going to live on a farm far away.

Food now sorted.

 

I've arranged for a special tea delivery for @ossyrocks from Farrers Tea & Coffee merchants in Kendal, they're sending a local van just for me, and a local dairy farm has helped chip in with milk.

 

The village hall will be open from around 08:00 for people to get in. Will anybody apart from myself (and possibly @neepheid) be coming at that time?

 

The intention is to finish around 16:00 (ish) as I have to be in York later than evening.

Marvelous, thank you sir! 🤣

I expect to be there around 10 ish

I may need to borrow this on Saturday before it goes to its new owner, if that's OK with the new owner.  Ordered some stands last week but it is unclear if they will arrive in time

I'll be there early doors - no point otherwise!

[ead]

I anticipate arriving c.10.00.

[bagsieblue]

Change of plans this weekend, so sadly can’t make it now.

[nekomatic]

I’m guessing I’ll be able to get there around 10, and will need to push off at 3ish. I can bring a spare stand which anyone is welcome to borrow until I need to take it away again. 
 

Looking forward to meeting you all, and your basses!

It's just under two hours drive for me, so I'm planning to be there around 10:30/11:00. I'm really looking forward to seeing some stunning instruments and renewing old friendships.

[Richard R]

This is splendid! Looking forward to seeing all the pictures. 

 

I might have to post pics of me weeding the garden, repairing the heat-cracked plaster in the conservatory, unblocking the drain at my daughter's house, and weeping into my beer that I missed all the fun.

😭

I should be able ot be there for 10 - I can be earlier if any help is required to set-up as it's about an hour from here.

All help welcomed but it's chairs and tables so it's not a.massive amount of work. 

 

However it would be good to see you and you then get the advantage of an empty (ish) hall to play in 😊

 

I have asked if the lady I jam with will come and bring her mobile drum kit. Her main drum kit appears to be larger than John Bonhams set from LZ 😊

[neepheid]

Right, it looks like I've been screwed over on the stands front.  Despite me paying for first class postage, vendor used RM Tracked 48, a 2-3 day service and I just got the email from RM to tell me they'll deliver them... tomorrow.  FFS.

 

Which means I'm 4 stands short.  @peterjam - could I please hijack the triple stand you were offering before it goes to its new owner?

@rwillett - I know you mentioned spare stands, but I think @ossyrocks already asked for spare stands so maybe you could help him out with yours?

 

Cheers folks, see you tomorrow!

[rwillett]

@neepheid 

 

We'll take everything I can find in the house. We'll make it work one way or another.

HA! Stand down emergency, if you'll pardon the pun. Plan B came through unexpectedly well. I have all the stands I need now. Massive shout out to my local, friendly, independent guitar shop - Ramjam in Aberdeen who had the exact stands I was looking for - not in their official inventory but bought for their own purposes but not used. Sold them to me especially. Great bunch of lads.

 

See you tomorrow!

That looks like slightly less than @neepheid brought last year 😂
