Third EVER Derby Bash!
Heheh, thought I'd drop this in here so I can start gauging when people would prefer the bash to be this year, or even venue etc. most of the details are changable right now :)



The past two have been October, so I've set this one for the beginning of the month 2008, obviously a long way away yet but I'd really appreciate some preferences trickling through. I'll stick with the same venue unless I get requests otherwise as I quite enjoyed having our own bar last year!

UPDATE: 22/04/08 The majority of votes seems to be falling on Oct. 4th so I have gone ahead and booked the function room for that date now, it's only provisional for now but I think most people are happy for that to be the one :)

UPDATE: 13/06/08 We are officially booked in and paid up for the 4th October now, so get signing up dilly-dalliers ;)
As with last year there will be floor space available but it is limited unless you are just after somewhere to stick a sleeping bag down. Basically there is a sofa, (small) double sofa bed, double mattress and two single mattresses up for kippage. In theory this means we can put up seven people (reasonably) comfortably, with the potential for a couple more if desperate and happy to be on the floor.

So far it's looking like:
1. Mictoboy
2. MStandot
3. Hexachordal
4. IvesB
5. IvesC
6. Dixon?
7. NeonBlue?

Floor space:
1. Tom O'Bedlam
2. Laird Dave

...but please let me know if you don't want/need the crash space!

For those of you still looking for somewhere to stay try looking here
The International is just 60 seconds from our flat (10 mins from the pub) which has some very mixed reviews online, but a few people we know have stayed there and haven't had any complaints
Another option is the Heritage Hotel which is in the town centre and a fair few b3tans have crashed before.

UPDATE: 26/06/08 Here are the parking prices for the multistory carpark directly opposite


UPDATE: 06/07/08 Is there anyone else local who may have crash space available?

The past two years have been absolutely brilliant so it would be great to see everyone again, and some that couldn't make it previous years!

count me in!
assuming i can raise the funds, i'm easy about when and where!

those reviewers don't like that pub do they!
(, Fri 15 Feb 2008, 14:44, Reply)
It has decent music and some life to it
there's no accounting for taste ;)

The first year we were packed downstairs and it had the most amazing atmosphere, and the second we were upstairs in the function room and had our own bar!
I must admit I have no complaints about that place, and it's one of my favourite pubs in Derby :)

Ah, sod it. These bashes are more-ish.

(, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 0:16, Reply)
Hm.
I considered going to the last one, but I can't remember why I didn't go. Anyway, assuming fundages are sufficient to afford the train (which would be topping £30, so not like I can't afford it), I might actually be up for this one. Might being the keyword, as my life changes so goddam often that I can't be sure that I'll even be in the same country by then..

If I were to go, I would need some form of crashspace (I'm good with beds, floors and I've even slept on stairs).

Anyway, it's about 4:30am, so I should sleep before I ramble on more in some strange attempt to stop being shy, even though I'm typing over the internet. Go figure...
(, Sat 28 Jun 2008, 4:26, Reply)
All the beddage has gone now I'm afraid
We can still offer crash space for anyone that just wants a roof but there are no more comfortable surfaces left, just literal floor space for those with a sleeping bag etc. or intending to be too drunk to care ;)

Sorry!
