Possible North West Forum Concert - Blackburn Options

[The Old Lady]

I can't see a problem with an event in the north being held on the same day as an event in the south. At the end of the day it's personal choice...I may attend the northern event in preference to the event in the south. Or vice versa. Not everyone can attend every event. For those that are trying, maybe it's time to prioritise.

My main reason for not going to so many now (apart from the fact that I'm not working at the moment) is that the closeness of some of them leaves little time to work on new pieces.

I can imagine there are loads of logistical nightmares in planning events, and I take my hat off to those who have arranged them to great success.

As new events have developed I think that this has become an issue for others too..... I know it has for me.
As you say it means we have to start making choices and maybe not attending so many.
Sometimes the choice has to be made because family and other commitments don't allow for more than one or two such outings in a year.

I agree with both of these ladies.
It's not just where they are, but getting things up to performance standard, and family/work loyalties.

What are the thoughts about this event now? I expect if it's definately going to be May then it's too soon to start planning anything definate. Looking at it I think February would definately be better.

Also I shall be holding the usual Adult Learners Concert in SW London on 19th February. Just waiting to confirm the cost with the venue before I announce it on the Forums.

The issue of planning events around other planned events has been raised before (not very pleasantly either in some cases). It's all rather saddening (though not surprising) that background politics are involved.

Yes - I fell foul of this one too. My in-box was on fire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Ignored it and Brum Bash should be great (famous last words and all that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif))

I would definately be interested in coming to this if it were in May. Any excuse to have the day off work the following Monday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In truth there isn't much overlap of people at these events and it is possible to organise one with a mixture of locals and Forum people and for it still to be a success.
