(The old top is the new bottom)
Following on from discussions over in /Guitar I'm looking at organising a small get-together at a studio in Hertford during October.

There are two main aims with this:

  1. for a few people to have a pre-Quad thrash if they want to - although you don't have to be coming to Quad to join in, at all; we'll just probably be running through some of the songs that are on the list for Quad

  2. to check out the studios and see if it might be worth approaching them for a larger jam in 2019, if there's enough interest from the board (at the moment this is all highly unofficial and speculative)
At the moment it looks like me, @markblagdon and @peteri are interested.  If there are two or three more who are interested (most of the rooms seem to hold up to 6 folk) then I'll do the legwork.

Studio is in Hertford, Herts and is easily reached off the A414 or the A10.

If you're interested I could do with knowing:
  1. that you're interested!
  2. which Saturdays or Sundays in October you could make from the list below
I'll then see if we can book a room for the afternoon of the day that works out best for everyone.


Potential dates (all October 2018)
Saturday 13th
Sunday 14th
Saturday 20th
Sunday 21st
Saturday 27th
Sunday 28th

Please comment here or PM me if you prefer.

Cost will just be the booking cost divided by however many people turn up (I'll book a four hour slot in an appropriate room, so anywhere between £9 and £15 a head depending on the number of heads).

@bridgehouse hopefully this doesn't overstep boundaries with the official stuff

    How very dare you organise something without me ;)

    Absolutely fine - great idea and label it as an official Quad Jam warm up session if you like

    Make it official? Are you mad? Where would my plausible deniability be?

    If @mrkb and @peteri are fine with 13th or 14th I'm happy to start with that and check availability at the studio on that basis; looks like we'd definitely have enough people to make it viable that day, then.

    may be able to scare up a local drummer as well for free (well, I'll buy him some beer afterwards), so that Mark doesn't have to do it all (unless he wants to).

    Bugger! Can't do any of those, sorry.

    If it helps - I have a good excuse, I'm in Mauritius!

    I'm booking holiday somewhen in October and may be too close to quad for me to have earned sufficient husband credits, can you stick me down as reserve and if you get pull out nearer the time I'll see if I can swing it please.

    I'm in the Sahara for some of those dates, I'll keep and eye on this thread. When you have a firm date I'll let you know. I'm in Luton so Hertford is easy.

    13th is my wedding anniversary, so 14th would be better for me. Am also free on 20/21 and 27/28th if needed.

    You're sure the anniversary won't bleed over into a weekend thing?  Wouldn't want to cause marital disharmony, but it would be good if we could hit a date that @sticker can do, as he's the only one to be date-explicit so far

    Will check with the missus later. Not sure 17 years is a special one is it?

    14th is better for me too , but go with which date most people can do and I’ll fit in around that if I can !

  • SnagsSnags Frets: 5326
    Well, I've got to start somewhere, and at the moment the 14th at least has some takers, so I'll give them a call later this week and see what can be sorted ...

    I wouldn't mind doing this ahead of Quad if there is space?
    0reaction image LOL 0reaction image Wow! 0reaction image Wisdom
  • SnagsSnags Frets: 5326
    Looks like the should be. If enough people are on for it I can t to book two rooms. Going to find it if the 14th is viable then start to flesh it out

    OK, I've booked a room (oo-er) for:

    Sunday 14th October
    2 p.m. to 6 p.m.


    It's Room 3 at River City in Hertford.

    Room can hold 8-9 of us, so depending on who's in we can either chop and change on songs, or just spread ourselves out.

    Cost is £59 divided by however many of us turn up.

    I'll edit the OP with confirmed attendees as you respond here or PM me.

    For now I'm assuming @mrkb and @sticker are "in" and that @TADodger @Bridgehouse @slacker @Jalapeno and @munckee are "maybes"

    Please confirm/deny/nudge anyone else who might be interested
