Ben - will take you up on that if the offer is still good?

Grant - you going to bring that new/old LPJ along? Pretty keen to take a look at that.

thinking it might be a good idea for people to limit the amount of gear they bring? judging by the number that seem to be potentially coming the room will struggle to cope. The last couple only had 7 or 8 people and it was good but I can imagine 12 or more in there and yeah could be trouble :rofl:

Moar guitars. Fewer amps.

I'm going to bring my jazzmaster, reverb tank and bandmaster for sure. Probably the quilter head too since its tiny.

Can also bring '63 Gretsch Anniversary, '63 Gretsch Corvette or '73 Tele Custom on request.

small studio rooms.

enough for 1 person with 3-4 guitars and an amp

or a couple people with 1 amp and guitar each.

great for making your amp loud not in the main room.

there's about 3 small rooms down that hallway we can use.
and the main room with the stage.


Bags not dismantling the drum kit like I have to every year :crazy: :lol:

One week out gentlemen.
I'll attempt to organise sausages, cause sausies is all I got Sir. Maybe some fizzy etc.
Bring beers if you want, but you'll need to sip 'em outside in cars or whatever. I plan on having a bit of a beer at the Cock N Bull on the way out of Hamiltron for the Ork people and anyone else that wants to join in. Boddingtons on tap!

Donations are requested please to go back to forum hosting costs, and Slowy and Capt. Black's enormous mod salaries.

I'm bringing two /13 amps, a Princeton, Explorer, V, Strat, LP Special and maybe an R9. Oh, and Jazzmaster for Danny.


1st July 2017
10:30am-4:30pm

Parking between S and R blocks. Wintec city campus. Off Collingwood St.

We will be in S block.
