The trouble with providing accommodation in the cost is that everyone will have different standards and some may have specific requirements, also as you say arranging for large parties can be difficult (I'd like 30 rooms for a load of guitarists please, yeah right!) i thin kit would be much better to leave accommodation and travel upto the individual who can then get something specific to their requirements, ... I know what you mean although our experience is that you then end up potentially with people spread over a very large geographic area which in itself becomes problematic. I do accept your point that people expect different standards/have differing needs - I've lost count of the number who, despite being asked many times in advance if they have any special requirements, turn up on the day and then announce that they are a non-smoking, gluten intolerant, vegan that is also allergic to mushrooms. We had one did that three years ago - given her very strict dietary requirements I was a bit miffed when she complained that the Gazpacho soup was the wrong colour pink. We also had one fool order an asparagus tortilla and complain because it had asparagus in it - er hello, what do you think will be in it? Anyway you get used to dealing with it - sort of . '...anyone with reasonable local knowledge of the area would help with this through the forums too.' Again from experience the point of contact often ends up doing an awful lot of running around. I've done this several times for up to 50 people and it is a lot of hassle since invariably a minority expect you to sort everything out for them. My worst experience was someone who expected to be picked up from Almeria (about 4 hours away) and driven to the accommodation that had been found and booked for her. Part way in she then expected us to arrange her onwards accommodation and travel when the course finished. She left one restaurant without paying her bill and on her final day she left without paying her accommodation - we spent nearly 4 months chasing her for it. Anyway I can come out with a lot of stories like these. My two main points though are: i) That provided you avoid capital cities the accommodation is not usually the major cost element. The largest cost is reimbursing any professional fees/expenses/wages. ii) you need to organise the event - which requires a fair bit of time. BTW - publicity for a GMC event - presumably at neglible cost via GMC if Kris was happy with it and hosted on this site. You'd need to check that with Kris though as it's just my opinion.

This is a great idea but I would suggest a smaller town to locate. But anyways, I'd go to London.

I am crazy, you know that Yes, I know. We all are crazy. Maybe we should meet in Poland? I am offering pretty big scene with full backline and 6000 watt PA, 400 places auditorium. All available 20 hours per day So? Don´t be so kind. We can organize something similiar in other countries, too, so let´s just see what the results of the other topic says. Sounds awesome That means I can play around on the drums as well, would be cool I'm up for anything as long as it fits my schedule, so whatever you guys decide.. Glad to have you here as well. Now, a maybe stupid question, but I think it is important to know: What are your conditions of comfort for sleep? a.) a bed b.) a simple mat and a sleeping bag (those conditions apply for 2-5 days maybe) Please edit this answer in your post in the following topic: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=24339 Also, post the place you live and the places you are able to go to in the same topic, please. |
