[sdiy] SynthDIY UK - 2009

[Paul Maddox]

Ladies and Gents,

   Neil has confirmed that we have July the 17th, 2009 for our next  
Synth DIY UK gathering.
more details will be forthcoming in the next month or so.

   I'd like to put an an appeal for donations of prizes for the  
raffle, as we plan to restart this year. all money raised from the  
raffle money will goto charity.

   It's also been suggested that we see if we can get the original  
five people, from the first meeting in 1999, there again.

   These are ;-

Tony Allgood
Colin Fraser
David Peachey
Chris Crosskey
and yours truly.

   We're looking at what to do as a special treat as this is the tenth  
anniversary of SynthDIY-UK. Sadly, we've been told we cannot have the  
auditorium that is part of robinson college for a gig.

   It's been suggested that we might try and get a gig or short set,  
from a couple of our regulars (Gert Van-Santen from waveworld and Paul  
Nagle), in the hall we hold the main event. we'll be speaking with  
Paul and Gert and also guaging the amount of space we have available  
for a gig.

   I would also like to request that everyone who is bringing  
something to show bare in mind a couple of things ;-

1) Space is limited, so please try and let us know what you're  
bringing so we can be sure to have room for you

2) Power is EXTREMELY limited, so please no 2Kw PA for demoing your  
synth

3) If you plan to bring a PA, please let us know and we'd ask that you  
be willing to share it with fellow DIYers as PA resources are also  
limited.

4) As with 2008's event, I would like only synths you have built or  
heavily modified in the main room. There is a smaller room off to one  
side, which can be used for commercial synths/sequencers and for  
jamming.

   Room booking will be up online in the next month or two, Neil will  
post a message when it's up and ready to use.

  If you have any questions, or would like to donate a prize, please  
contact me off list.

  We look forward to seeing you in July!

Paul
