LAST MINUTE BED AVAIL FOR BOXSTOCK....

Due to a slight change of plans, there are one or two beds spare at the Salutation for Boxstock weekend. They are basic but clean and freshly decorated, and are en-suite. Cost is £37.50 per person for the 2 nights, Fri & Sat. When theyre gone, theyre gone...

Hey Ben

What's the plan of attack for Friday arrival up norf/doon sooth (please delete as applicable)? Are we meeting at the Band on the Wall to set up for Saturday or going straight to the Salutation for a pint and a burger? Rough E.T.A's anyone? I'll aim at getting there for about 3pm.

See y'all.

I,ve just made a 3 string bass ( bottom 3) and am finding it a bit weird to convert over to  !

Sorry Roosterman Im off to  Switzerland on Friday so wont make Bostock this time

Just wondered if four strings would fit

Comment by Roosterman on September 2, 2012 at 8:57am

Hey Gary, come up to Boxstock and have a look (and a play) on everything other folk are building - you'll learn heaps in the space of the weekend. Im always amazed at the stuff guys are building and get home with a head full of new ideas....
