Il do my best! Unfortunately I have a bed n breakfast and the 6 weeks of summer is the only time I actually make any money! However, with enough notice I reckon I can get someone to cover for a day or 2 - I would hate to miss meeting all you guys and spending a few days talking CBGs to people who are actually interested!! lol

Hi guys, just trying to confirm a date with my venue..but we are looking at a Saturday daytime meetup /forum/playing & building workshop, early curryhouse or pub supper..followed by a slide-tastic evening gig with Hollowbelly plus support / open mic. Hows that sounding?

We want to keep this simple but value-packed, without having the expense of having to have an over-night stop for those travelling a-ways (I know it may mean a long hard day for some....). I'll get back to y'all as soon as I can confirm a date & prices...hopefully this is going to take place before the main summer hols. rather than after.

I'm thinking that June 20th will be here in a flash and maybe won't give everyone time to prepare fully. Maybe build some more stuff to bring, show, maybe sell or swap stuff. Brush up on playing skills etc. I'd prefer a later date personally but I'd still make the effort to come in June if necessary.

Giving it some thought/ideas for the day. Obviously we can't do everything in the time given but you can break it down into probably three areas of interest. First I'm sure everyone just wants to meet each other and see/play each other's guitars etc. That could take a couple hours easy. The other two areas are building and playing. Workshops are a great idea but I'm wondering if these should be split into two groups. Beginners and more advanced. We need input from everyone as to what they would like from the day. Thanks for your initiatives John.

The reason I picked a date in June is that it's before the summer holidays, and I thought that if it was to be later, then we'd loose the initiative, as realistically it would have to go to September. As for making guitars, I sort of understand, but it's 6 weeks away...how long does it take to screw a stick to a box?!! If the concensus is that it should be later I need to get this sorted in order to re-arrange the venue and headline.

Regarding workshops, in particular players' workshops, if the group is big enough, it's easy to split by ability/experience, but most guitar workshops that I've organised cater for all abilities in the same group...it's surprising how well this works.

hi john,,,i would realy apreciate it if could be held back a while,,,i think it will be better for people to have more time to organize,,and get the word out there.if we have enough time we can let more people know about this and get a real buzz going..maybee we could get tinqui8 over from france to play,possibly sick sea steve?..i think its an awsum idea and i would hate too miss the first of im sure many of these cbg fests....all the best jay

I also think there would be benefits from a later date as Jasus said, give more time to get the word around etc and make plans for a cracking gig
