Autumn Bash, 9th and 10th Oct - Event and Payment Details

[Trumpetier]

Out of interest chaps any provisional dates for the next bash?

Not yet.

[oldskoolzzz]

Not yet.

Cheers Dave

Much will depend on whether Mick will be well enough to host one or two at Quigley Hollow, Nick.. I, and everyone else, will be keeping everything crossed in the hope that he is able to.

Neil has done a brilliant job also in securing a most beautiful venue at Quigley Bottom and organising events in meticulous fashion. He is well up for hosting more. And, when we were packing up on the Sunday afternoon at this last Bash, the landowner popped down to see Neil and said, er, actually he INSISTED, that Neil should run more events for us into the future and that The Bash has a second and permanent home.

Spring would be awesome; let's see.

Cheers Tone,

Fingers crossed all round heck it would be nice to have an event every month

Alternate the venues would be pukka

Put me down for June, July and August though as I need 20 degrees+ and clear blue skies

No fun getting older brrrrr

Careful what you wish for, Nick.. Sometimes, maybe, these things can be overdone? Bearing in mind the graft, commitment and planning that the host has to pour into making each event possible whilst trying to conduct their day job. And many travel afar to attend. I think two a year, three at an absolute maximum, strikes the ideal balance between gaps between events and maintaining decent attendance numbers to make them viable. At the last one, many of us had a chat and concluded that we'd all be happy to pay more, if needed, or to chip in as and when required to maintain viability and not take for granted the good nature and commitment of the host(s).

The Sun always shines in Quigleydom. We were treated to unbelievably warm, Summer-like conditions at this October Bash.

Put me down for chipping in extra if necessary

[Bluefan]

Yup me too Pete, Neil and Mick both worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time, not forgetting both chaps families . Gunstonberry my kids call it

Unfortunately Tone.

I have absolutely no plans to resurrect Quigley Hollow in the foreseeable future, I'd have to be well and truly stable for a good while before I could even contemplate hosting anything.





All the best Mick

Although a huge source of sadness and disappointment for the wonderful Boingerati peeps, this must be so devastating for you and the family, Mick; especially the not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and the end of this awful, debilitating condition..

You take good care of yourself, Maestro. And one of us WILL be kidnapping you for a day at Quigley Bottom.

Absolutely Tone, nothing but uttermost respect and admiration for the hard work and dedication it must take to organise one of these bashes and I do understand folk travel wide and far to attend.

Ironically both venues literally on my own door step and as you know it did take sometime for me to finally attend being dragged kicking and screaming whilst captured by yours truly

Ah shucks that’s awful Mick

Absolutely Tone,

Your pretty good at this kidnapping lark

Yep, the reasoning behind the chaps that travel those huge distances is mainly to do with time and expense, Nick, making it a pretty big commitment......booking time off work, appeasing loved ones, travel and accommodation expenses etc....just goes to show how good the Bash events are and how much they're loved when you consider how many make the commitment.

Guessing Quigley Bottom might be even closer for you?

We'll try and get our Mick there. If he's reluctant / thinks he may not be able to handle it, one of us will have to turn up at his in Clouseau-esque disguise mode and nick him away for the day.. Sshhhh, though, don't want him to rumble us.
