    Maybe best to start it as a one -off bake off and see how it goes. if people enjoy it they will be back for more. This seems to be working with the North-East bake offs.

    Agree car parking is an issue - There are a lot of crappy private hotels in central London may be possible to rent a room in one - if it is an old place with ground floor room should be possible to get a decent sound going and some of these places have car parking facilities.

    I know a old scout house in Ruslip that is in a car park and would be cheap but might be a bit far for people
    I am interested too We have the Scottish Mafia and North East bake off so why not the London and South east posse
    I think the hardest bit will be finding a suitable venue. Also cost will be a factor for me
    I do not mind bringing some gear along but not the speakers they are to awkward
    Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?

    Humour: One of the few things worth taking seriously

    The speakers thing will be a problem common to a lot of people, I'd think.
    The club could do with a set of smallish good 'uns as a known reference point for each meeting.

    Dagenham is good for me - although hardly central. I audited may & baker, and have taken my son to karate tournaments there. I think martin is right - organise one event and if its a success follow up on that. Its only day 2- 6 is not a bad start. Be careful taking esl63s to an event, they might get pinched!

    Dagenham is between London and Essex and on the M25 doorstep

    LOL I know where it is but as I will be on the train I was wondering if it's possible to get a train straight from London Euston to Dagenham.
