    Default North East Bake Off 2 - 21/06/13 Hartlepool



    The flyer says it all really, all AoS members are welcome to attend. If you're curious as to what sort thing we get up to please see this thread. http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24978

    There has been a small cover charge added this time to cover the cost of refreshments (tea/coffee and some tasty grub) provided at the venue.

    If anyone would like more information or is interested in bringing gear along please PM me and I'll be happy to put you in touch with the organiser.

    All the best

    Just a quick bump to see if theres any interest? The last one was a real treat and all who come in peace are welcomed.

    I'm unfortunately unable to make this one as its Mrs B's birthday weekend and I'll be taking her away for a few days. By all means feel free to contact me and I'll put you in touch with the erstwhile organiser.

    I'll be at this one.

    Any chance someone could bring a Leak Stereo 20?

    I would love to hear one of those prior to making my mind up whether to buy one.

    Cor, If someone brings one of those I might just have to disappoint Mrs B after all... The little Radford from the last one was something special and is on my stereo bucket list.

    I don't think Rich went at all, Marco. But maybe someone who did would like to spill the beans?
