The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2026 -- Sunday 11th October 2026 (hopefully)

[Rich]

Thought it'd be a good idea to start a new thread for this one, as there's more to organise/discuss.

OK folks, looks like we're back up and running on the following basis:

 

The hall is booked for 11 October at a cost of £232;

 

I will need to have received pre-payment of £15 from AT LEAST 16 Bass-Bashers to cover our costs;

 

As payment for the hall is now due, immediate payment by anyone willing and able is encouraged so we don't have to cover the full £232 ourselves;

 

If we don't have the attendance numbers we need by the end of July, we can still cancel the hall booking and get a full refund;

 

I will do the pre-event organisation as usual;

 

Mrs S and Scrumpette Janey are more than happy to do teas & coffees;

 

Everyone will bring their own food and preferably cup/mug so that the only washing-up at the end will be a limited number of hall cups/mugs;

 

Everyone will take their own rubbish home with them;

 

We will need at least 4 'early bird' attendees to set the hall up (tables, chairs, power grid) for the day;

 

There will be a raffle as usual;

 

Any cash surplus will either be refunded to attendees or donated to charity - TBC.

 

Provided the above is acceptable to at least 16 of you guys, then the South-West Bass Bash is back in business 🙂

'So I said to Mrs Scrumpy, please bring me the pies

She said "We've only had crumble here since 1969"'
