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.Originally Posted by TonyL
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.
Ironically both venues literally on my own door stepand 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 MickUnfortunately 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
Absolutely Tone,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.
Your pretty good at this kidnapping lark
