    Default Proposed Chesterfest.

    Considering a one day audio meet in Chester. Likely to be Saturday 26th July or any Saturday in August. To be arranged.

    Not expecting large numbers a la Owston ( i think we managed seven last time). But that was in the days of the World Audio Design forum and there were very few members from round here.

    Things seem to have changed a bit, so hoping for ten to fifteen this time.

    So what i would like, is an idea of numbers. ie. those who live close enough to attend a one day event, and indeed would like to, bearing in mind the dates above.
    A similar post will appear on two other relevant forums.

    That would be good Marco.
    I'll wait till i've got some more definite replies, and then see if we can find a date that suits everyone.
    It's early days yet.

    No worries, Al. If you need any help organising or setting things up just ket me know

    Do you know Dave Anderton? He lives in Chester and I'm sure he would be interested in coming. Either Ian Walker or I could ask him.

    Would love to. I'll bring some vinyl? Or CD? Don't think I'd be able to wrestle the Argon2 speakers out of the flat, but I'll try :P
