Following a little confusion from 2019, may we Please remind ‘everyone’ the premises we are in, is a Private Members Club!   You are able to purchase drinks from the bar and they can be consumed in the bar.   However, it is not permissible for Convention attendees to eat food in the bar area, this either to be eaten in here, or outside.   Please also appreciate there may be a television operating at the same time.

12th August 2024.

Special Guest/s!!

The 40th event sees the very welcome return of Mr Bobby Figueroa and his sparkling ‘Lady’ JoJo who as a number of you may recall worked for Carl Wilson for several years.    There is another reason, to be honest and this will be revealed on the day of the Convention, with your kind permission.   Following their time with us in 2015, when I met with them the following morning and I asked as I have with all who have kind enough to travel the distance.   Would they be happy to come to a future event and as I think the answer has been, nearly, or always it is a resounding, “Yes!”

The 40th Annual Beach Boys Stomp Convention.

Written By: LWDadmin - Apr• 05•24

Date;- Saturday 12th October 2024

Venue;- The White Eagle Club, Raans Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, HP6 6LX.
(Formally known as The Polish Club) and where the 2019 event was held).

Time;- 12 noon to 6 pm. There has now been an extension to allow a third session of live music and the event will conclude at 7 30 pm

Tickets;- £30-00 per person, on the day £35-00 per person. Available from BBS, 33, Frensham Road, Farnham, Surrey, GU10 3PY

Please include a 9″ x 4″ S.S.A.E. In the past the badges have created issues and should this be the case now, they will be held back and given out on the day itself.

Cheques payable to Beach Boys Stomp.
Should you wish to submit payment by other means bank details will be placed here shortly.

Highlights;- Special Guest from America, (yet to be confirmed) and live music from ‘Surf’s Up’ with the most creditable Sean Macreavy (who could be argued as the most significant tribute band of all?)
What may be observed as a high ticket price is due to their situation they are scattered throughout the country and therefore necessitate overnight accommodation i.e. one member from Scotland and another from Cornwall. Those of you who have not heard them will be very impressed, honest!

Brian Wilson/Beach Boys Stomp ’40th Zoom’ Convention’. Saturday 18th September 2021.

Written By: LWDadmin - Aug• 06•21
We will shortly be announcing more details relating to the above event which will mainly feature an e-mail address and the Paypal facility.    The e-mail address is likely to be <BBS-Convt-40@gmail.com> and there will be a small range of charges to access the event. ‘Priority’ will be given to anyone who has attended an event in the last five years!    As many of you are aware Zoom runs in blocks of 100, I believe and we feel at this time we should watch the interest carefully.    As we don’t really want to have a second site, with say 15 or so participants?    The price structure is likely to be £2-50, £5-00 & £7-50, with the last figure giving access 100% to the event.    They will be able to offer questions, etc to whoever joins us for the event and we can confirm this will include our ‘originally intended’ actual guests, Mr. Mike Kowalski and Mr. Ed Carter.
The time span was originally set at six hours but this did create concern from Jim, who said ‘”People won’t want to sit in front of a computer screen, for some six hours!”    Which I can accept to be honest, so at this time we are thinking of 2 to 3 hours and are very happy to be guided by anyone’s thoughts??
As you can all imagine this could be ‘spectacular’ which is why there are thoughts at this time on holding the main ‘in person event’ in September and possibly a ‘Zoom’ event around March time each year?
All of the above is ‘pencilled in’ on a basic rough working sheet for anyone’s comments or observations and as we were fully aware last year.   This is again a big step and is very much a learning curve for the future, with some wonderful opportunities, all being well…
The very best to you all and “Stay Safe!”
Roy Gudge with Jim Grant…
