I hope they aren’t guitards who “ can play a bit of bass but only with a pick” 

Oh no no no… bass first, of course!

[prowla]

Joking aside, all are welcome, beginners to pros, no snootiness.

Picks, fingers, thumbs, tappers, 4/5/6/8/10/12 (or even 1!) strings are ok.

I’d be interested in attending too please!

Depending on dates, I might try and make the trip over for this. Overdue for a visit anyway, and I can use it as a recce!

Brief update!

 

Hall managers have said that as we're contributing any proceeds to a charity (TBD) we can get the hall at a reduced hourly rate, which is nice of them.  We have access from 12.00pm for as long as required.

 

It begs the question the date we want to do this...I can't do first weekend of November, but beyond that, I'm good.  September my be too soon to wrestle the troops, dunno.

 

 

[NancyJohnson]

Oops... I don't know if you can insert a poll, but state your desired month, September to November.

[prowla]

On previous occastions it's been held the day before the Kempton Park guitar show (Sun 26th October this year).

[TrevorR]

Maybe avoid half term weekends? 25/26 October and 1/2 November. But that’s not really a deal breaker. Otherwise no preference.

[jonno1981]

I think you might have to pick a date and go for it. Exception being avoiding school holiday weekends- that makes sense. It’s going to be impossible to find a date that works for everyone. 

[neepheid]

Let the chips fall where they may.  Also avoid Oct 11-12th - that's the SW bash...

[cetera]

Sundays were deemed to be best as many of us are gigging on Saturday afternoon/evenings

[cetera]

Sundays:

7, 14, 28 Sept

19, 26 Oct

9, 16, 23, 30 Nov

 

All good for me!

Good call

[NancyJohnson]

The hall is available Sundays from 11.30am.

 

[BillyBass]

I'm keen.  Outside of a gig on 4th October, I have no commitments, but Sundays are good.

[NancyJohnson]

@prowla and I had a chat earlier.  The London Guitar Show is on Sunday 26th October and I've just found out I can't do the weekend of November, so looking at the weekend after, which is 8/9th November.

 

Could we get a list of preferred dates please and we'll go with the majority.  If it's a Sunday we can get in the hall from 11.00am.

 

Thanks

Nov 9th is Remembrance Sunday so perhaps we could have a little silence before we salute the fallen with slap bass.
 

It’s my bday on the 5th so I may indeed be down at my parents in Oxford so potentially could make it.  

[neepheid]

8th/9th Nov works for me

[snorkie635]

Too far for me, but best wishes for a success on the day. I know Neeps, I know. 😁

[Rich]

8th/9th Nov would work for me. Preferably 9th.
