Hi all
Having made several good friends at the get together, then finding out one particular couple were virtually neighbours, I was wondering how many other like minded people are nearby and dont even realise. Before anyone points out the risks of being too precise with replies, I am not asking for peoples addresses. I am simply asking the question. So If there are any people in or around central Scotland who are interested in meeting up to talk Shads, guitars, gear etc or popping along to each others gigs, maybe even the occasional mini get together, give me a shout either in this thread or by pm. There are several shads clubs around the uk but nothing in Scotland. I have a venue available if enough people were interested
regards Ian

Hi Ian
It is possible for members to add their location in their profile, as you can see I'm located in Cyprus (haven't found any Shads fans here yet).

Hi Tony,
I live in Bucks but spend part of the year in Latchi, Cyprus --- or Latsi as they insist on spelling it on the road signs!

Members only need to include their location in their profile information and it will be available automatically with every message. That is the most efficient way.

The Netherlands,near Rotterdam here...
No shads clubs here either. In the past we had some,but only the cronies with the argo and ego towards lesser players where allowed on stage... Once in a blue moon a lesser player was on stage "the good ol' boys' did manage to torpedo the poor bloke's gig with a crappy sound or stick the lead or vocal plug in the wrong channel.... Even destroying guitar-lead plugs with there size 11 or 12 shoes..."spontaneous"BT hiccups etc That's not concentration booster i can tell you.... On top of that,the in-crowed managed to get a good payment out of our admission fee..... so it bleed out

Hi Ian,
What a good thread you started here mate.
Whilst at the 'get-together' this year, my wife and I met a couple who live less than 3 miles from our home. Incredibly, my wife was aquainted with the lady. We all had travelled for 140 miles to the event. Incredible eh?
It just goes to show that you never know who's just around the corner.
Looking forward to seeing you and Di at Northwich next year.
Rgds - Clive

I've just modified my profile to add my location and would be happy to meet any Shadows guitarists around Brisbane. It would be great to have a Shadows Club here although I'm not sure if there are any venues for hire at a reasonable cost to play live music. Best wishes Rosemary

Well done Rosemary, Now we know that you're not 'just around the corner' - I wish you were, then you could give me a few tips I wonder why other members are loathed to include their location? Maybe someone could explain? Clive
