Looks like I can make it this year.
I will bring my rig minus the lights , no need for them , budget amps (Behringer EPQ2000 and W-Audio Horizon 1300 , with citronic crossover )and DIY speakers (tops and subs), and ultramixer 4 software, so you can have a play...
Looking forward to it.

Just you be careful

Ive actually had a speaker cabinet catch fire. It was a pair of speakers that I borrowed and the post mortem revealed the cause.

The terminal strip on the speaker was rivited to a cast aluminium tag on the chassis. The tag had cracked at some time in the past and left the terminal strip hanging from the cone by the spider wires. Eventually these broke and the terminal block fell to the bottom of the cabinet, shorted out and set fire to the acoustic wadding in the cabinet. I ran to the bar for a fire extinguisher and this is how the conversation went.....

Keith : "David, give me the fire extinguisher"
David : "What for?"
Keith : "The speakers on fire!"
David : "Yes mate, of course it is"
Keith : "Give me the fire extinguisher!!"
David : "Yeah right"
Keith : "GIVE ME THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER"

....at that point he saw the smoke issuing from the cabinet and relented !!!!

You're already halfway there. James has a facebook page for entrants, so that would be one way to sign up. If the lad looks on here before February, he should see your post. Chuck the kit into the horseless carriage on the appointed day, find the venue, set it up and enjoy the fun. ( Bring long cables though, cos the amps and playout aren't always near the Cabs. )See you there.

Wicked see you there hopefully

Can't possibly be me mate. Far too much hair!

Great. I look forward to saying hello.

Hmmmm, there's always one who's gone one better, isn't there. ( No smilies again. It's a joke, BTW. )

I'd be up for this, this year, as long as I'm not working.

Again, I look forward to seeing you, and also your chauffeur, should you see fit to avail yourself of his services. As we know, our ears differ greatly in what we like, so I value your views.

Wicked see you there hopefully

Say hello. I'll be the one with the second biggest pile of cabs, cos it looks like The Marmite Kid will be bringing a large pile of his rapidly growing collection of previously enjoyed large boxes, and a ladder. I'll have to concede to him on height of stack, number of drivers, number of amps and sheer volume, but I hope to shade him on quality.

Now I don't really know how to break this gently, but there's a flaw in your cunning plan, Baldrick. I suppose I'll just have to get one of my more gregarious technocrat acquaintances to do it by proxy.
