WITNEY SUPERSQUEEZE 16-18 NOVEMBER 2018
« on: August 20, 2018, 11:46:08 PM »

Witney Supersqueeze 2018 is now open for booking.  Melodeon tutors are Simon Care, Steve Dumpleton, Katie Howson and Emmanuelle Pariselle.  Details available on the Witney Supersqueeze website.  In addition to melodeons, Supersqueeze also includes concertina and piano accordion players although not necessarily on all workshops.  This seemed to work very well last year.  Rest assured that the Witney melodeon gathering has lost none of it's charms!

Tutors all look good but I'm waiting to see what the workshops are before booking.

Lots of attractive options, I would say!  (:)

I’ve booked to go.  Paid me money ‘n’ everyfink.  However, I decided which workshops to attend, but found no way to specify on the booking form.  Ho hum, I ‘spect I’ll be getting a request like last year..

From the Home Page click on Fees and Booking. Scroll down to the bottom of the fees section and there is a button for Register. A form comes up to fill in your choices, and other stuff. How did you register without seeing it?

Dunno.  I didn’t write the perishing code, I’m just telling you what happened.

Just revisited.  I have autocomplete enabled on me browser.  For reasons entirely obscure to me it bunged my name into all three workshop choice boxes.  Nowhere on the form does it say that these boxes are for those choices.  Least ways, only if you delete anything in the boxes does text saying that that’s what they’re for come up.  I just noticed my name entered three times, and assumed it was some error, which it is.  I went on to the next page, which was for payment I think, and finished the process expecting to be asked my choices not realising that I had, but in an occult fashion.

I’ve left a message on the contact page of the website.

Has anyone received their advanced music for this years Supersqueeze yet?  Is it late (it should be mid October) or have I been missed out?

I heard from a friend a week or so ago that they'd got the email so I nudged Dave Townsend who sent the email to me again - I hadn't got the first one.  Could be worth you doing likewise. N

Thank you Nigel, :( I have emailed this morning.  Checked spam folder, there is nothing there from previous weeks so looks like I have been missed out.

Talking about motorhomes, does anyone know how wide the gateposts at the school entrance are? Never needed to think about it before ...

Hoping to see lots of melodeon chums there, should be an interesting weekend.

Hi Katie,
Ask Pete - he gets his motor home in through the gateway. See previous post.

I've attached a screen shot from Google Maps street view. The gateway looks to be about 8 feet wide in old money; perhaps a bit less when the two gates are open and there is the gate thickness to take into accoount.

Thanks Steve, my motorhome is 7'6" wide, so could be a close call!

Maybe the best thing to do would be to contact the school and ask for guidance and measurements. It's possible there might be an alternative entrance in to the car park from round the back.
