So, it's official, my friends @ Harties are cool with us going there for a biggish jam. It's obviously quite far to go on a regular basis but, maybe, once every 3 months is doable. Now, if you guys haven't figured it out yet, I'm terrible at organising things, so I'm posting this thread so you can help me make this happen. We need to discuss what will be needed, and then discuss who'll be providing it, as well as other logistics which simply would never cross my mind but that you guys will think of :)

The entrance from the R513 is Nr 16. There are big signs that say Jo Roos Gallery and also Margarte Roberts. Just follow the dirt road, pass the old colapodated white house on the left. Go around the corner (another Margaret Roberts sign) and past a fence on the left made out of grass. Just after that you will see a sign that says Foundry on you RIGHT. As you turn in there, you will see the road fork, take the RIGHT and you are at the Foundry.
If anyone gets lost, please give me a call on (079) 384-8612

Bronze Age Foundry, which is a shed of about 70 feet long and 40 feet wide. The Eastern and Southern sides have walls and the other 2 sides are open, so you can see the sun but you are in the shade always, unless you want to sit on the edge of the foundry and catch some sun.
There are several power points as well as 3 phase power if ever needed. There is one toilet and a place to wash dishes, hands, face, brush teeth or whatever. There is a very old, but still working fridge and freezer that can be used but your own cooler would be better (then you are in control of your booze, he he he)

We will be in someone's backyard, so to speak. Be respectful of our hosts and of your fellow members. And most importantly, clean up after yourself :)
Also: Take care of your stuff. If you're providing lights or borrowing someone your guitar, don't go off and get drunk/stoned/etc. Be around to pack it up again later in the day. A little bit of diligence will go a long way!
