So what do most people tend to bring along to these type of things? Beer, amp, guitar and their go-to pedals?

I just take the stuff I'm itching to crank up. It's a church so beer's not compulsory. Think wine might be. Not sure. I'm just so glad to get a few hours away from my family that I tend to arrive about six hours early. I make a day of it: Rockshop, McD, Gearfest, McD. :thumbup:

Cool, that's good to know. Some of the church's in Chch are still stuffed from the quakes, I could easily imagine parts of the ceiling falling in on us as the watts ring out :rofl:

This is one of those 70s looking places (maybe older) like two playing cards leaning against each other.

Cool, I hope to make it for an hour or so. Saturday's are always full on for me with swimming & tennis lessons for our kids, but I am hoping to throw some stuff in the car and show my face :crazy:

Thanks for sorting that out. And thanks Dave too.

Does anybody have a Tube Screamer they could bring along? Trying to find the right pedal to go between the Strat and the Matchless and think a TS might be the way to go.

Cheers.
