If you think I'm lugging the XTC to Croydon you can think again!  :lol:

Idea! Come down for the weekend Dave in the car and bring lots of gear! Drop the missus off at Bluewater or Sheppards Bush for an Uber Shop. Sorted.  

As for dates and days. I'm free ok from 27/06 onwards. I rehearse with my 'Band' 'A Comedy Of Errors' in the week now as their not worthy of a weekend. So A Sunday could be good. Those of you in bands with gig schedules let us know your free dates so we can shortlist dates. It would be good to see you.

I still think it would be a good idea to hire more than one room. With a big turn out like we have had in the past the cost wouldn't be anything to worry about. So we could have a high gain room and a low gain/clean room. As before it was bit of a volume contest and none of you can beat the Koch so variation is the key for an enjoyable day for all.

See what I did there? The Gauntlet has been thrown!  :D

Weekend of July 10th/11th works best for me at the moment, can't do before then and after that I'm on "look after Mrs Twinfan for a few weeks" duty as she's having an operation....

Sort of, it's around a 60 mile drive for me.

I'd like to come along, though I won't be able to drink :(  I'll keep an eye on this thread & if the date is one I can make, then I'll do my best to be there...

From East Croydon station, it's only about a 15min walk (not as far/long as it sounds), but there are busses from there, too. Easy Peasy if you're not driving :)

Croydon is a wee bit far for me, but have a good jolly-up chaps.

I'm quite fond of Croydon too.

Nice one! I'm going to drive too, so I'm not fussed about a booze.  That one we did in Old St last year, I filled my car up with gear. 5 guitars, amp and 4x12 plus two tubs of cables, pedals ect. You may as well do the same too! You will love it, just think of all those power valves cooking, your favorite tones dialled in on your Engl, one of your fine guitars in your hands and the room howling with harmonic feed back. No Mrs Antag protesting and no little Antag to wake up. That's what it's all about man.  :D

Anyone else need some sales pitch?  :lol:

I really wanted to hold this on Sunday July 11th?

I kind of want this date as my birthday is the day before (10th)b and gwEm's birthday is around there too

BUT - it's also World Cup Final day and the whole street will be a zoo like any town centre on that day and it just wont be the best date for it



So what about 18th July?
Who will be able to come along to that ?


I will just delay my birthday celebrations for a week as well!

If it's the weekend then I'm in any time really, summer holidays start on the 22nd of July so I'm free after that any time.

I might be driving from Ipswich, so if anyone needs transport around the Essex area I'm sure I could help out.
