The Bloggers Bash Committee said this year would be bigger and better – and trust me, it will be. We, the committee, have plans afoot to make it a cracking day.
If you don’t know what the bash is, it’s an annual get together for bloggers everywhere. The bash is open to everyone, whether you blog about writing, cooking, parenthood, beauty, fishing or anything in between, this is the event for you. AND irrespective of blogging platform – so if you have friends from other platforms please let them know.
The event is open to any blogger from any blogging platform – and please, if you aren’t a wordpress blogger – share this post.
This is the chance for you to meet (in real life) all those firm friends you have made through blogging. This year, the bash is on Saturday the 11th June, in London, England.
I said we had plans. We do. The first of those plans is the exciting news that we have secured a venue. And boy is it amazing.
I am pleased to announce that on June 11th 2016, we will be holding the second bloggers bash at The Driver in Kings Cross London.
To find out more see their website here. We will be located on the 3rd floor, and I have to say, I am beyond excited. The venue is stunning. I hope you are as excited as I am.
On their website you can take a 3D tour of the rooms and look at more photos.
If you have noticed, we have changed the colour of the awards too – this year the ABBAs will be red. AND, to be clear, we have separated the Bloggers Bash logo from the Awards – as you can see at the top of the post – that, is the logo for the bash. More info on the awards next month.
If you would like to come to the bash, or you are thinking about coming and have questions then drop the committee a line, we do need to know as soon as possible numbers for the day. So if you are coming please let us know before April 30th on:
annualbloggersbash(AT)yahoo(DOT)co(DOT)uk
We will, of course, be adding all the information about the day and the awards in the months to come. Or you can keep up to date by following me and checking the annual bloggers bash page here.
Finally, a big public thank you to my dear friend who helped me secure the venue. I love your face, and I owe you one…Ok, three.
OMG OMG OMG so exciting! Yay, can’t wait to come along – it looks like it’s going to be a great day!

Laughter, Fun and a LOT of Chatting is Guaranteed…
THANK YOU O’ FURRY ONE. Hugely grateful for the share. 🙂
Very welcome Sacha ???
What a shame. I shall be at the Isle of Wight Festival. Let me know if there’ll be another one…

Shame, maybe one day?
YUP
Is that a Waltzer? Hang on, I’m on hold to sleazy jet booking my flight!
Fantastic news let us know when it’s all booked ??
Only if I can be the guy that spins the waltzer and tells everyone to scream if they wanna go faster! Lol

Even if I play Geri Halliwell tunes?
I had a dream about ginger spice two days ago!
Lol
You’re more than welcome to come, let us know if you fancy it ???
Not sure the place would cope with me, Hugh and Suzie in the same building. Lol
It definitely would! But if you don’t fancy it then maybe next year ?
I hope to be there this year. I hate it when people don’t turn up to collect their awards lol 😉
?? you’re hilarious. I’m looking forward to meeting you. Where are u from?
Scotland. I’ll bring a translator, don’t worry.
Ooh, you won’t be the only Scot either this year. I think I know who you are now your names been mentioned. ALOHA ??
Oh dear, I do apologise for everything lol

Would probably fly. Where’s Southport? My geography is really that bad! Lol
Same height as Manchester on the west coast near Liverpool…?

The 2nd Annual Bloggers Bash is June 11, 2016!! OK, I should calm down, no idea if I’m going lol. I would love to attend tho. Looking forward to hearing more about these awards too.
Amazing, I hope you can come, let us know if you are free and can make it.
Sounds stupendous! 😀
Do you think you can make it?
*sigh* The Canadian dollar keeps falling. Exchange would be prohibitive. Anyway, not sure I can afford another trip this year. The Bash is tempting, though. 😀
Owhh there’s always next year or the year after or…. Hehe lots more chances x
You’re quite the sales lady… 😀 😀 😀
One must never say n.e.v.e.r. *grin*
Haha it’s been known! ? I like to please ??
I can see you are a real people person.
🙂
hehe :p <3
You sound a riot. Keep doing whatever it is you do. Love it.
?
*(-.-)*
Looks amazing. I will be there☺
Awesome, what’s your name so we can add you to our list ??
It’s Rich @ wafflemethis, Sacha
Would you like me to email my full details?☺
Yes please if that’s ok. ? where are you coming from?
Just down the road from Yorkshire Sacha, will send email across now☺
Awesome well I shall look forward to receiving it ?
On its way☺
I am sooooo excited. It’s been on the calendar for ages, so it’s a definite yes from me :-)) A huge thank you to the committee for another fab job xx
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay ?????????
I wouldn’t miss it for the world :-)))
Looks great I really hope I will be able to make it.
That’s fab news where are you coming from?
North Devon, it will all depend on weather my son has a hospital appointment, although if he hasn’t had his scan by then I will be pretty cross.
Fab we just like to know where everyone’s from ? hope your son does get his scan. Hope he’s ok too
Thanks.
How did I miss this post? Were you hiding it from me? Great job, Sacha (and friend), the venue looks great! I still need to finalise a few things before I can confirm but it’s looking promising 🙂
Whoop whoop – got my fingers crossed u can make it. ?
Erm, not sure – there’s been a couple releasing the date, but it’s the big count down now, lots of posts in the pipeline!
You guys rock! I so wish I could be there. This year, I’m requesting more videos!!!! <3 🙂
Maybe next year Debby? ? Hugh is in charge of videos so I am sure there will be plenty!
Can’t wait! You guys are sooooooooo awesome!!! So glad to be part of the circle. <3
Well we’re honoured you joined ?
<3
Flattery will get you everywhere! ??
This looks like an amazing venue Sacha, I would love to come. 🙂
Yay that’s fab news Marje we shall see u there
Can’t wait!!! ;)))
Looks incredible, Suzie!
Have a blast!
Looks like a fantastic location for your bash. When things calm down here, I will have to get working on one over here.
That would be amazing Michelle – and then one year we will have to combine them all!
I think I’ve already told you I’m committed to it anyway, Sacha, but just so you know, it’s been in my diary for months!
Yay ? thanks Graeme can’t wait to see u again with your second book finished!
First draft of second book… Don’t get too excited (though I’m really pleased with the boat chase!)
Boat chase??
You’ll have to wait and see…
Oh I just re read this and understand, is what u did the sailing for right? Well other than pleasure ?!
Kind of. Sailing’s just now a thing I love doing. But being on water in any way is great. Obviously, the boat chase involves a little more power than a sail will provide
hah! I know, I understand its a proper chase! looking forward to seeing it done.
I wish I could go this year. 🙁 I hope you all have fun!
I know Id love to meet you one day. What state are u in?
I’m in Mass. I hoped to go this year, but I wouldn’t be able to afford it and the timing isn’t right. June 11 is a few days right before school lets out (I’m sure you know I’m a teacher) and I’ve never been outside the U.S. before. If I’m going over there, I’ll be making it a vacation. I’m not going for just a weekend, I want at least a week! Lol.
Well next year we will have to look at making it a little later then, and then hopefully you could come…. ?
Yes, hopefully!
I am checking out dates and would love to join you all. *eeeekkkkk* excited. ?
Hey Ellen that’s fab news – where in the world would you be coming from?
Somerset England, I’m trying to sort dates as we type. ? I hope to make it!
Ahh awesome – not too far, I believe we have another blogger from Somerset – Sherri came last year hopefully she will make it again this year ? let us know if you can ??
Certainly will.
Swanky venue! Keep it up, keep growing, ’cause one of these times we will initiate a successful Yankee Invasion!
I REALLLLLLLY hope that, that’s true and one day you do all make it over here I for one (and I know I’m not alone in saying this) would love it ??
I talked to my daughter this morning and told her the date. She reminded me that we agreed to save up and go in 2017. Sigh…but I really want to go now!
Noway? So you are coming to the UK in 2017? AWESOME. You will have to let us know rough dates so that we make sure the bash is when you are here 🙂 <3
I read about the Bash on Ali Isaac’s blog last year, and honestly I’d love to be there this year. I’m still not sure because it all depends whether I can get days off from work – I know the Bash is on Saturday, but I’m from Italy, so I’d need at least Friday to travel.
I really hope I’ll be able to come. And sure, I’ll let you know in time 🙂
Aloha Jazz feathers – what should I call you?
I’m just in the gym so have seen your other comment but will reply later.
We would love to have you and I am sure Ali would feel the same. I will be keeping everything crossed that you can get the time off work ?
LOL! I’m Sarah. And I’m keeping everything crossed too! 🙂
Well hey there Sarah, I’m Sacha pleased to meet you ?
Reblogged this on Life of an El Paso Woman and commented:
This looks so cool! Anyone going?
The question is, are you?! I hope so ????
I live in Texas so I don’t know. I’d love to but I have to talk to my better half. 🙂 I’m sure I can take time off.
Well it would be fabulous that’s for sure. Lots more news and update to come ?
Awesome! Thank you! 🙂

I went to the first Bloggers Bash last year and it was an awesome day out! Can’t wait for this year – hope to see you there 🙂
Thanks Helen <3
This looks so cool! I can’t believe I’ve not heard of the Bloggers Bash before and I’ve been blogging for about 5 years now!! Hahaha! Is it open to all bloggers? 🙂
If there’s one thing it is, it’s that it is open to all bloggers from any platform blogging about anything. I hope you can make it ?
I’d love to! Do you mind if I share this on my blog? 🙂
No I’d actually be delighted if you did – we are growing the bash and want as many people as possible – so invite those bloggers you have always wanted to meet – that’s how this started I wanted to meet all those bloggers who felt like old friends because of this community ??
Sounds amazing! Wish I were In the UK cause I’d swing by have a great time with you all! 😉
Ahh thats a shame, I know a few people considering doing one in the States, so fingers crossed 😀
owwwww 🙁 London is too far from US 🙁
I know I’m sorry, we would love to do one in the US I have a feeling a couple of bloggers might. ?
This venue looks awesome, Sacha. Sorry I can’t join you. Have fun! 🙂
Thank you Norah and I’m sorry too would love to meet you ?
One day . . .
Ack! That’d gorgeous. And I so want to go. And I want to meet all of you in person.
Correct. You would be my personal guest of honour.
Do I get a tiara or something? ?
If it makes you come, then yeah!
If only I lived in the Northern hemisphere 🙂
Maybe one day you can come ?

Sasha Black has published the venue announcement of the Annual Bloggers Bash 2016. I would love to go – but I’m not sure it will work for me this year. Anyone else who would like to participate? spread word about it! 🙂 Thank you Sasha.
Where are you from? Are you UK based? I hope you CAN make it, but thank you for sharing nonetheless. Maybe you can make it next year?
I’m not U.K. based, no. But I’m traveling a lot and I might be in Europe in June. I’ll let you know as soon as I know more. 🙂
ooh awesome, ok, well ill keep my fingers crossed then <3
I will too. 🙂
I’d love to come. I was too busy enjoying myself on holiday last year so couldn’t come but I’m sure if I have the time, I’m definitely up for leaving the safety of house, venturing across the potentially dangerous streets of London and meeting random people as unique as myself.
Amazing, if your sure you’re coming can you drop us an email, we have a space limit so need to ensure we have a list of everyone that’s confirmed I’m really looking forward to meeting you – you can take lots of gorgeous photos for us ?
Great, I’ll drop an email to confirm my place. As for the gorgeous photos, they might turn out to be something a little different from gorgeous. Looking forward to June.
different from gorgeous?! how do you mean?
I guess what I meant to say was how I envisage making something appealing ends up being appealing for a completely different reason. It doesn’t matter how I get to the end result, things are seem to fall into place.
I see. Well I like your style of photos so I am sure I will like whatever you take 🙂
I greatly appreciate the confidence you have in me!
This looks fabulous! I have popped the date in my diary, Kings Cross is a quick train ride for me so I would love to come!
Awesome, if you’re sure you can make it can you drop us an email with your details – then venue has a cap it so we just need to know definites. I’m looking forward to meeting you, I love your prof pic and had a nosy on ur blog after our encounter on the furry ones blog! ??
I will confirm with you asap via email – it will be great to meet you and all the other awesome bloggers! 😀
Perfect ? feel free to invite any of your blogging buddies you want to meet too. We just need to know who is coming! ?
Okay excellent, then! 😀
