rwillett Posted November 10, 2025 Posted November 10, 2025 (edited) Hi, I'm looking at doing the third annual NW and Scotland Bass Bash and Petting Zoo for 2026. This would be at the Clapham village hall in Clapham https://claphamcumnewbyvillagehall.org.uk/ We are on the NW tip of North Yorkshire, 20 mins from the M6. Parking is easy and we would have the whole hall again. Currently the following days are available, so I'm trying to work out which ones to do. I've moved this forward to avoid clashes with the Midlands Bass Bash Saturday April 4th 2026 Sunday April 5th 2026 Sunday April 18th 2026 Sunday April 19th 2026 Saturday April 25th 2026 Sunday April 26th 2026 Saturday May 9th 2026 Sunday May 10th 2026 Sunday May 17th 2026 If I can workout a poll, I'll do this to make it easier.

Richard R Posted November 10, 2025 Posted November 10, 2025 The Midlands Bash is confirmed and booked for 20th June, partly on the assumption that you would be looking at April / early May and so there would be a reasonable gap between them. Quote
rwillett Posted November 10, 2025 Author Posted November 10, 2025 Fair point so I'll look a little earlier for dates in April as well and we'll ignore the last week of May Quote
Richard R Posted November 10, 2025 Posted November 10, 2025 See what people can make. It's not a competition. Well, maybe just a little. 😉 Quote
neepheid Posted November 16, 2025 Posted November 16, 2025 Well FWIW, I can do 25/26 April and any of those days in May. Before/after that, gigs be getting in the way - not that I should complain! Quote
Frank Blank Posted November 20, 2025 Posted November 20, 2025 I am determined to attend this year, whatever date it's on! Quote

bigthumb Posted November 21, 2025 Posted November 21, 2025 I wouldn't be able to do the late April dates but any other would be good. No gigs for next year booked so far so I could make myself unavailable if a date for this was decided on. Really enjoyed last years bash and would love to attend another! Quote
rwillett Posted November 21, 2025 Author Posted November 21, 2025 Depending on dates we are up to trio. Can people let me know what dates work for them. Let's try and aim for late April to early May please. Quote
ossyrocks Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 (edited) I’m currently ok for all those dates except Sunday 17th May. Sunday 5th April is Easter Sunday, so that might not be ideal for some people. Edited November 25, 2025 by ossyrocks Quote

I am free for all these dates, which is not at all helpful... Quote
neepheid Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Aye, it would be good to get this pinned down, in case of any further pesky gigs entering the calendar. To reiterate, I can do the following: Saturday April 25th 2026 Sunday April 26th 2026 Saturday May 9th 2026 Sunday May 10th 2026 Sunday May 17th 2026 At a push I could do April 19th - got a gig on the 17th so it's theoretically doable. Also, because it's looking like this will be the only bash I can attend this year (gigs have nixed all the others ), I will bring the entire kit and kaboodle. It's only just down the road, lol.

Richard R Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago @peterjam - If the Midlands Bash doesn't work for you, then get along to this one. I'm sure it will be nearly as good 1 Quote

80Hz Posted 5 minutes ago Posted 5 minutes ago Just throwing my hat in the ring for this year too. Last year was a really fun day. Any of those dates are options for me. Quote
