Sugestion about posible location for a Gathering of UK Mudcatters. As there seems to be a festival on each weekend in the summer. Why not link to an established festival this could be to the benifit of all. Mudcat would not have to worry about campsites/acomodation provision of. The festival organisers would not have to worry about a rival gathering on there established weekend. As to which weekend a bank holiday would be best for people who have to travel long distances. Anouther Thread to try could be how many UK Mudcaters are Folk Festival Organisers? The Whitby Folk Festival Week 2001 clashes as you probably Know with Whitby Regatter. This is due to the Tides. So be warned Whitby will be very busy pub space will be at a premium. The Moore and Coast Festival is on a Bank Holiday Weekend (May) How about linking a gatering to that! See www.moorandcoast.co.uk
