I think the tron got to 21 people at one fest (with an average turn out of about 15), so unless you guys can quadruple your numbers the only thing you are holding are willies

We go for quality over quantity

well we have grant so yeah the quality is covered

yeah I love how the people who claim to have the best fests have never actually been to the best ones... that one at the Welly tennis club was the best ever

Aucks regularly pulled 30 people or so at Clockwork, three months in a row.

The only reason hamilton became a drawcard was because it was quieter - i.e. not as many people there. And unique brought antique instruments along.

So, Hamilton is a drawcard for being quiet and attracting old people. Who'd have thought it. Be saying that about Tauranga next.

Now there's an idea.

That tennis club was classic. Where's Universe anyway?

Ok - checked with the music department at Wintec and I can get free use of this performance room:

... and this adjacent sound room:

There is a kitchen area as well where we can cook our sausies.

If that's not big enough we could try the Meteor theatre: http://themeteor.co.nz/use-the-space/
I think we could get the theatre and rehearsal space for $100-$150 for the day.

Use of Wintec buildings would preferably during semester break (late June/early July).

That sounds like the best space!

Keen to book it and arrange a date in July!

That's it, i'm moving back!!!

Awesome Matt! Thanks for finding that! It looks very posh too!

finally a venue that has a little stage for me

yeah thats the one I played through the pignose and your pa mic'd it up.... the guys playing tennis downstairs thought a jet was crashing when you cranked up the AC30

The world's worst PA, no less! Pretty sure ison had his U2 rig there too. My memory is slightly hazy...

might not be a good idea having a tronfest and an auckfest in the same month...could suck numbers from the tron

will have to be July - Mid Semester break means the room is empty.

Given the last # for the last 2 tron fests.. numbers weren't at all time highs..

more times to meet up and play gear.

Matman is seeing which dates are free then I guess we'll Poll
