Hi everybody, I have received a couple of e-mails concerning some of the workshops this season. It seems that there is interest in another Hilton day this winter so we can all sit and air and share our views on how to approach our own learning curve and the Hilton day has proven to be a good platform for this. So my question is simple, is there any interest in another Hilton banjo bash this winter?

	will1976 says: 7/18/2013 9:52:17 AM Hi all - Could someone please explain 'another Hilton day' for us mere mortals. Many thanks.
	joemac says: 7/18/2013 9:56:06 AM Well, for the past two years the UK5 group here on the hangout has got together in the village of Hilton near Derby to share a day of banjo playing, ideas and a lightweight workshop, combined with tea and cake. This blog is to see if we all would like to organise another one, usually to be held in January or Feb.
aspguitars says: 7/18/2013 2:03:48 PM Hi! Joe. Hope you are keeping well, and yes please. I would love to get together with some like minded players. I'll need some dates as soon as possible as I'll have to book a few days off work. Ade
	will1976 says: 7/18/2013 3:30:04 PM Joe Many thanks for the quick reply to the earlier post. That sounds like one hell of an idea. I live right down on the south coast, but if travelling that far means that I can progress from a basic clawhammer, then that would be worth the trip - or my 'custom gold-tone long neck', will be gathering too much dust to play . Banjo players seem pretty thin on the ground down in the deep dark New Forest. Maybe I will have more luck when I move to South Wales soon (hopefully). Again thanks for the reply - Will
