If anyone brings a BAM we'll have the set for people to try

I have a TC BAM built into my Faux Fender Imp combo which I am bringing along, so could easily be used for comparison.

That's the spirit - I'm bringing everything bass related that isn't broken or nailed down

 

I heard that's why they decommissioned the Royal Train,  so that @neepheid could use it to travel to bass bashes.

What! Have you discussed this with the powers that be? I'm fairly certain that the laws of physics still hold true where I live regarding space and time.

You’re a better man than I am. I’m at least an hour closer and haven’t given attending a second thought.

If by "better" you mean "quite, quite mad" then yes, I suppose I am

It's a bit bad when I'm considered the normal, sane one...

Just as well you're not a Trace Elliott fan.

Little known fact, Trace and Elliott's ancestors were both bakers in the middle ages.

 

Thank goodness @neepheid's not bringing a Trace Elliott Fan!!

Just hedging my bets in case I've not sold this before the Bash 🙂

 

Unique Gillett Contour ST FS

I’m uncertain, but it’s possible given @Richard R and his gracious offer of a lift 

 

I had been made redundant but am in a grace period for reinstatement so was going to be a NO for financial reasons but if Mondays chat with their recruiter (who contacted me) goes well it may be possible after all 

[Richard R]

Fingers crossed you can come @Geek99.

And, more importantly, that the job situation works out.

Yes, those pesky children and their ridiculous demands for food, clothes, warmth and shelter. I mean WTF is that all about.? 🤷‍♂️

[scrumpymike]

Well, not long to go now so it's time for my usual shout-out to anyone willing to pay in advance.

 

For those who don't know, we do this to make sure that our costs are covered before we have to pay the balance of the hiring fee for the hall and Mrs. Scrumpy starts spending money on ingredients for the stuff she makes and freezes in advance - e.g. fruit crumbles 🙂 

 

We're keeping the price the same as last year at £13 - an absolute steal for hot drinks all day plus an amazing  sit-down buffet lunch.

 

So could those of you who willing and able to pay now please ping me a PM, to which I will reply giving either my PayPal account address (a PP'friends and family' payment is much preferred) or bank details if you don't do PP.

 

See you all soon!!

 

Mike and Team Scrumpy.

 

PS - don't forget to look out whatever you have for the raffle!

[scrumpymike]

PPS - forgot to mention* that:

 

• we need  you to bring your own mains cable reels/extensions to make sure everyone has power;
• we rely on having a few volunteers from 8am to help spread the load of setting the hall up;
• there will be a limited selection of food available early doors for those who didn't have time for breakfast.

*You'd think we'd never done this before!?  😉

All done...

 

Requesting extra veggie food and crumble... the vash counts as what my daughter calls a 'cheat day' where I can eat as much as I want!

[Geek99]

Could I please hold fire on payment until I see how the employment thing pans out ? Happy with 13£ though
