You coming to this @slacker won't be the same without you?

Yes, @slacker, you coming to this, it won't be the same without you?

Quality. That's Beat It sorted then.

How are we doing for numbers now, @Ttony?

Looks to me like we're over 20 for both days if we include organisers, with a spattering of additions for one day or the other. This is immeasurably better than a few days back when it was looking like being cancelled.  

Still needs more though to make it what it should be. We managed 30ish for the January jam, albeit with a few late pull outs, and this is a significantly better event on paper.

Who is still lurking and considering?

Sounds like we need a few more recruits?

Well I'm still on the ''maybe" pile. I'd really love to make it for the Saturday but waiting to see if I can get off work for that day. Problem with it being slap bang in middle of summer hols the annual leave diary is chocka block.

Still keeping fingers crossed though...

Do your best!

I’d be there both days, but it’s my sister’s birthday (she’s 20 years older than me - so every year counts) on the Saturday.

It's a birthday party! Bring her, we'll sing her songs!

She has menieres desease - so can’t be exposed to loud sounds.....

As the most obsevant will, errrmmmm, "observe", I've changed the title of the thread to reflect that it's being scaled back.  Despite the efforts at persuading people to attend, we're still barely at 20.


Jamming & evening gigging - go ahead, no change, all happenning.
Various other on-top-of-that events - numbers don't support that, so cancelled.

If anyone has paid and no longer wants to go, monies will be refunded, just let me know.

That’s a pity @ttony - are you going to tell us “what we could have won” (in a Jim Bowen style)

Bridgehouse

We may still get more and @TTony might want to keep his powder dry just in case!

What were the extra events?
Sorry, I'm just so busy these days I may have read and forgotten. That's a shame

LuttiS

so... there won't be cake?

@shaunm @eventhelosers - I'm pretty sure you guys are local-ish to 'Uddersfield (I'm sure there are others that are in the Leeds/B'ford/W. Yorks area too but can't remember who they are).  

Are you chaps interested incoming?

McToot

I've been trawling through my PMs to find people up North who might be within reach of the venue. 

@CountryDave ; - it's a bit of a cross country hack from Lelyland, but probably not much more than an hour? I'd even let you have a go on the SE Bernie you've just sold me? 
@doctorpaul - you're not too far away?

@SimpleSimon??

fandango

It's obviously difficult for those with families who have to juggle priorities, both time and financial. These guys don't have it easy.

But since TTony's "Last Call", I thought the numbers looked like they became reasonable. Or was it down to the same people repeating several times the fact that they were attending?

Anyway, it's a great shame, especially for those who did commit.

I just hope we don't get a raft of cancellations.

@TTony - I'm still in, and really hoping the set list contains a choice of decent numbers.
