    I'm aiming to be there just after all the heavy lifting has been done, but before most of the people arrive, so they'll all think that I was part of the hard working roadie crew.


    :D
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Ok, just to confirm that this is the address:  78 Friday St, Leicester LE1 3BW

    I'm going to arrive about 11am so I have enough time to set up.
    Will someone be there then?
    I'm not travelling too far so I can get there early to help out. 
    I'm local so can be there to help, get in the way,make the tea or just stand around looking handsome. I'm only good at one of those things though. 
    Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.....

  • Just for the early birds - I don't know if we can get in to set up before 11.30 as that's when the booking starts.

    We can try tho ;)

  • If there's no parking space for me I'll be most cross... I expect a reserved space with a cone and a plate saying "boss" on it!!

    To be fair - who has a rehersal on a Saturday morning at 11.00 am??? 

    I expect empty rooms and lots of smiles.

  • What's the deal with food? I assume they sell snacks and stuff but is there somewhere to get lunch close by?

    (Leicester's a major city so I would assume so).

    Leicester is notorious for having no food for sale whatsoever.

    Apart from the Space Centre and a work visit to a British Gas site I've generally avoided the place!

    The venue http://www.quadstudios.co.uk lists Quaffs Café as one of the onsite facilities. No menus listed but I bet they do sarnies etc. I'm sure they'd be glad of our custom, plus it will make it easier for Bridgehead to cut deals with the studio in future if we patronise their café en masse.

  • Lunch is, um, a moveable feast - get it when you can! And I do believe they have a cafe on site. 

    I am concerned @octatonic may disappear into the drum shop hole and never return tho ;)

    I'm bringing sandwiches. Seriously, well cobs really if I make them before setting off. I wouldn't bet on the cafe being open, but who knows. Quad isn't exactly in the middle of a shopping centre, not sure where the nearest food would be - quick nip out in the car maybe
