I bet a bucket of picks if you'd make little ads and post them in the Music Stores you would get lots of replies. Venues should not be a problem unless you have an unterior motive - ie money - in which case a Bar or Pub would be nice, course I hardly need remind you to first dicker with the owner for your cut.

Typical come on 'we are a bunch of beer quafting amateur Tubaists and would love to fill your empty Bar on Xday when I notice it always empty'...

Unfortunately where I now live the standards are so high, my flavor of jamfolk, that we will probably have to do the slow session as well...typical nights one sees not one or two but several cases not opened while a few semipro fiddlers dominate the evening. I enjoy it but would also love to share with the beginners as well.

In anycase from here I would prefer doing slow jams in a member's home
