There's a kit at Eclipse already, but it's in another room. I think we can drag it out for use but then there may be less space for guitars, etc.

Nah, the Wellie gearfest is probably the only thing left that
doesn't happen in AKL.

I know I said earlier in the thread that I could bring a drummer friend but that is no longer a possibility sadly.
I'm always keen to have a bash on the drums, my lack of chops won't stop me.

Me too, I can play drums passably now and would happily do so if there was a kit.

We can get eclipse but he's hiked the price up to $180 for both rooms. We'd also have to pay up front.
I'm happy to pay and have people reimburse me on the day but I think we should agree on a per head fee with any surplus going to the forum.

Great plan. It's also a good way of knowing who's gonna turn up or not.

Unless anyone can think of a good alternative venue?

Yeah, I'll be into that. I'm willing to pay up to $20.

Yea, $20 sounds fine, I think that's what we ended up paying last time anyway?

It was making me itch so I stopped using it. I shower every day, and I can't tell the difference. I wonder if it really even does anything.
That is possibly the most 'Wellington' thing ever posted on this forum.

Actually that^ is probably the most Auckland thing posted on the forum. Sooty is obviously just not a very sweaty guy, some guys are sweatier than others...
