    Have we got a firm date yet?
    The two options are firm - 30Aug or 6Sep - and I was hoping that a few more people would sign up for one or the other to (a) effectively vote for the date and (b) confirm that we'd have enough people to make it worthwhile.

    Currently we've got 7 takers for 30Aug and 6 for 6Sep.  Allowing for the inevitable last minute drop-outs, that's not really enough numbers to ensure that enough people would turn up on the day.

    :(

    I'll probably be bringing a couple of people though I can't' ask them to contribute financially.

    I'm happy to contribute on their behalf though.

    Is it worth PMing people that came last year?

    I tagged everyone who either came along last year, or expressed an interest in doing so, when I edited the original post.

    It's not about the money particularly - the more people we get, the more gear is brought along, the more people get up and play more stuff.  And even if 6-7 people absolutely committed to coming along as of now, we know that "stuff happens" and 2-3 of them wouldn't be able to make it on the day - so we'd end up with a very small meet!

    Barring injury or death, I'm in.

    Both days are good for me.

    My drum and bass dudes can do the 6th, but not the 30th.

    That's probably the decider then.

    @mike_l is planning to celebrate his birthday at the Cambridge blues jam on Sunday Aug 31st, so that's an option for East of England folk wanting to meet up that weekend.

  • Shame, at least we tried. Was it the date or the location that was the problem? If the former, how about fixing up far enough ahead for most people's diary to be clear?

    The way gigs get booked up for me, I could do with looking at dates 3 months plus in advance
