Ok...this will definitely be on G_TARanaki weekend. We have a great venue.

Would be cool if Slash could hand out the nibbles.....yeh right.

Will post more as we get closer to the date.

I'm still going to do this as I think it would be a good chance for a get together.

I'm not sure how much gear you guys wanna bring, but that doesńt matter as it could still be a good get together.
Also there is some nice gear at 'West Coast School Of Rock already.

That Sat would suit me better but we will go with concensis.

Sorry about lack of communication but just got in from a stint at sea.

So whoe's keen?

I'm doing a clinic on Saturday morning, so that's no good for me.

Saturday afternoon doesn't have anything that grabs me.
