In response to the comments about funds raised/spent/retained for the various jam sessions, this is where we're at;
Quad Sept '17:
Net loss of £72.03. Caused by (a) people not actually turning up, (b) t-shirts being ordered by not collected/paid for (by people not turning up) and the cost of the large banner that we put up above the drum kit. See below re that.
WRats Jun 18:
Net profit of £151.33
Hudds Aug 18:
Net profit of £246.88. That's the net of the funds received into and paid out of the PP account. I'm aware that other funds were raised/spent during the weekend but have no sight of that.
Quad Nov 18:
Net profit of £260.52.
To answer the question about "why the odd pence": because not everyone uses PPG/PPF&F when paying, so those revenues are after PP fee deductions.
To answer the question about "where's the money gone": £260.52 has been spent on a large box of leads, which was to have been the start of a jam session kit. We discussion - in a thread somewhere - about putting together a session kit of leads/stands/pedals, and possibly decent recording gear. That box was the start point of the kit.
I'll post that to whoever wants to take ownership, together with the large banner.

is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
The other one was done via PM.

So sad.
Not quite as complicated as organising a Fretboard event, I started and ran the first four Basschat meet-ups.
My approach was to keep it as simple as possible, and there was no schedule other than "It starts at 11am and ends at 5pm".
It worked fairly well and grew to a point where the forum owners wanted to run demos from makers/dealers etc. at which point I bailed out (too much work ).
I recall a UKMG weekend where we attempted to play 77 songs - we started at around 6:30pm and finished at 2:30am - around 10 or 15 songs got dropped towards the end, mostly because we were all knackered.
One heroic guy played drums from start to finish . . .
