The Norfolk bash

[Unframed Dave]

Unless anyone else would like to organise the next one, it will be 23rd to 25th October

This would be the last we do in 2020.

At the current time, we are still limited to 30 maximum. In reality we need a minimum of 20 to make it a viable event.

Same arrangements as before camping on the pub field and shooting in our garden.

The price will be £20 for the weekend and £10 per night for camping. Payment will be in advance for the bash and on arrival for the camping.

If anyone has any suggestions for improvements on the last one, please let me know.

Yes please Dave. Two nights camping as well please. I can currently do either, but prefer the earlier for daylight hours. I'll send funds shortly.

Hey Graham, if you don't mind making these available again, please, before the old thread is rested?

[TonyL]

Pencil me in for a day of boingery therapy please, Dave.

Subject to Covid constraints / arms functioning, of course.

If Craigy doesn't manage to look in I'll see how he's fixed, too.

BOING!

I'd be up for those dates and i believe Terry would too. May have a little look at bed and breakfast as the weather could be pants but definitely up for it!!!

The only drawback with commercial venues is the loss of personal touch and the relaxed atmosphere. Micks bash created a superb atmosphere which Dave and Verity complimented in style with their brilliant gathering. It is a huge amount of work which I’m more than happy to assist with wherever possible as are others, after all it is for us at the end of the day. Bring on the next gathering!!!!

Mikey, I cannot disagree wth any of the above and yes, you're so, so right.......what Mick created for us is so, so special and unique.

And it is brilliant that good people like Trumpy Dave and your very good self are able and willing to arrive early and assist with the setting up etc. I am also aware that others offered their assistance also.

But I'm also aware of the look of the Bash field following the event. The amount of rubbish to be disposed of, things to be tidied away etc. I know Mick would very possibly deny this, but I often wonder if the pressure he put himself under to deliver such a wonderful event for us time after time may have contributed to his health deteriorating?

Money wise.....I realise that all us long-term Bash attendees (and possibly others, also) would also gladly pay a little more in the future to make sure that our hosts are, at the very least, not out of pocket following the staging of an event. To me, that would appear as a cruel smack across the chops and rubbing salt into the wounds. I've conversed with Dave and told him to keep the dosh that I sent for Craig and I as I want to contribute towards the cost even though we couldn't make it. But, as I say, for any future events held by our very own people, we should all be prepared to pay more and assist. We've enjoyed the very best fun imaginable for many years on the cheap now.

The Bash is here to stay now. Of that I'm sure. The Good People of Quigley Hollow will assure its future, whichever form The Bash follows.

Huge thanks once again to Mick, Shirl, Dave, Verity and all the good people whose dedication and hard graft has made The Bash the special and unique gathering that it is.

BOING!
