When we started the Beehive dayer around 6 year ago, we picked a Sunday that was free with nothing else on in the area. We run alternate months. Then Leeds Central decided to have there dayer the same time and day as we run ( 9 mile away). We asked them to change to the alternate month, they said no, so in January this year, as we were changing venue to the Love Apple, we flipped to the alternate month so we didn't clash with them. This is the first time we have clashed with anyone else.It might not be ideal, but as Phil says we get around 170 in every time, hardly any of which go to Pauls do and he gets a good turnout of which hardly anyone comes to the Love Apple.I put it on ss about 2 month ahead of the date, not 12 month, who knows what's happening in 12 month time.
Anyway, it's a one off so i don't think much sleep will be lost over it.
As Paul says, enjoy wherever you go.
Mick.
