Hesk, a MudGather is just a chance for people who have some association with this 'ere Mudcat website to meet up, chat, play, (eat chocolate) or whatever. Very informal and friendly. If you choose to bring mud, you may be asked to wipe your feet...

We usually introduce ourselves and say a bit about our connection with the site- which is a valuable resource for many of us, and a good way of meeting nice people :)
