Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 10:52 amAs Patrick hasn't replied to JD's request for further info, here's a snap translation of the material on this on the French site:
Steel Guitar Meeting 25-27 April, Charlieu, France. (about two thirds of the way down the right hand side, then strike off west for about 30 miles)
Activities: Masterclass led by experienced pro musicians, jam session, concerts etc.
For all amateur and professional musicians, beginners and experienced, from France and elsewhere.
Cost: Euro 60 includes all activities, 4 meals, dormitory accommodation and 2 breakfasts. The dormitory is about 12km away in the surrounding countryside. The activity centre is near the middle of the town, and has parking, a terrace, bar, annexe for the master class etc. The bar area converts for the evening concert.
If you prefer hotel accommodation two local hotel numbers are given: the "Relais de l'Abbaye" or the "Lion d'Or". Hotel accommodation would be extra. There's an e-mail link to the organiser if you are thinking of going.
There's a little vagueness about the dates. I think it's one of those "arrive late Friday, depart early Monday" things.
