    @TTony @Bridgehouse some time ago I agreed to run a separate room and list for the gig practice. My plan was to have a much more fluid session where we can mess with arrangements, keys etc and get them slick. 

    I'm happy to do this on a separate thread and kick it off now. Ok?
    We still need a few more people to confirm this is viable ...
    @TTony - what's deadline day?

    I bet quite a few people are still lurking around trying to make up their minds.

    I managed to fit in both some negotiations with the wife and a crisis of confidence in between Woking and now already, and I bet a few others are in the same place.

    The "Fretboard gig", especially incorporating an "open mic" section, is a really great idea.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    What's the venue please? (Sorry if I missed it). Any decent beer in Huddersfield?

    It must be good beer up there, if you sign up you can find out! :)

    Thank you - handy for the Royal Infirmary I note!
    Yeah my understanding is A&E there are booking agency staff to cover all the people who age terribly waiting for me to finish "Champagne Supernova"...

    Second the query about deadline day please!  Mrs Snags is sounding not entirely anti the idea of me buggering off for the weekend, so 48 hours pondering could get me confirmed for the whole thing on an "in for a penny" basis. 

    Only issue I'll have is that almost immediately beforehand we're off on an enforced holiday with no access to a guitar, making practice a bit tricky. Unless I accidentally buy something that will fit in the suitcase or there's a forum member on the Scillies I can blag something off for a fortnight :)

    If it helps your decision, I'm not very good in the first place and I'm likely to be drunk all weekend.

    Practice is over-rated. I proved that on Saturday.

    Ahem.

    Practice is situational. Playing in church, Pfft, not so much. Playing "real songs" with actual parts and stuff, weeks of it, if only as a comfort factor. Makes no sense, but my brain is a dark and scary place.

    One resides in the Surrey Hills. We recently broke the £5/pint barrier. It keeps the oiks away.

    @Legionreturns @Bridgehouse - I think we might have to start thinking about setlist/s.

    One for the Sat afternoon.
    One for the Sun morning (the acoustic set perhaps?)

    And, if we're going to sort out some sort of evening "performance", another one for then too??

    Well as the acoustic bit is potentially on the Sunday morning, you'd better put me down for the weekend then.

    Right @TTony assuming there are still "both day" places available, count me in!  YOLO as the hep cats down at the milk bar say.

    I'll sort out the PP later today.

    Supplementary question: can non-FBers come, subject to ponying up the readies?  I have a friend currently at college in Hudd (doing sound engineering and music tech) who's a somewhat competent musician and would love this if he's free.

    Just get him to sign up to the forum and book, then there are no issues. ;)

    Fair point, well made.

    PP sent, doss house booked.

    As a bonus, this is incentivising Mrs Snags to go to Yarndale with her sister later in the year, so I get a quiet weekend at home in September. Score :)

    The Magic Rock is awesome. And it's only about 45 minutes on foot from the studio. I've done it more than once after a skinfull of tasty beverages :)

    I was there on Saturday. The beers range in price from about £2.60 a pint, to about £9 for the real smash your brain in stuff (11% ales!!).

    Good point. For those travelling from the outer reaches, where are people looking to stay?

    Any cheap hotel recommendations @Sasquatch_Bob?

    There's a post further up with a link. Everyone's staying at the same place so far, which will make transport easier.

    Okay, count me in for both days. I'm booked in at the Croppers Arms which is a stagger away I think @Sasquatch_Bob ?

    Question re the hotel bookings - are these refundable should the event not get the required numbers?

    I'm sensing a new optimism in the thread however :)

    The Croppers is just down the road, about a 10 minute walk. I didn't even know they did accommodation!

    Thanks - the Cambridge allows free cancellations as well, I just booked, I found @Legionreturns original link

    @legionreturns - is it staggering distance from your pub gig/open mic venue?

    BTW - I don't share rooms with anyone except certain youtubers ;)

    It's not really, but I have a tame minibus driver prepped which was the reason I'd suggested having everyone in the same place
