OK, ready for a summary so far? Please update or correct me.

Pondering to come (more or less sure):
Wolfgang
Susanne
Mudguard
Bill\Sables and crew (5 I've counted including Llanfair)
McMoo
Ranks
Rollo
Letty
Sabine

Perhaps:
Menzze
Ernest
Ina
Schmiddi
John C

(did I forget somebody?)

There might be reasons to say 'sorry I can't come' or 'may I come as well' (sure yes) at a later time, but I think it is reasonable to expect up to a dozen of you.

Date:
May, 4-6
I did understand that the British 'delegation' comes on Saturday and leaves on Sunday or Monday. Therefore the main action should be Saturday night (5th of May) and (perhaps) Sunday night. If some of the nearer-than-Britain Mudcatters like to come Friday as well, you are invited.

Sleeping:
I have a bed, Susanne has a caravan, Mudguard sleeps some other place. My wife has given me free hand to invite you to sleep in our flat. Nine people with sleeping bag can sleep in our flat, not very comfortable, but it is possible. So that's the offer.
In addition to that, there's a big garden behind the house which could easily take two or three tents.
And then there's Muenster youth hostel a twenty minutes walk from my home, ten minutes from downtown.
Just in case, there are four hotels near my place (about 75 Euro a double room a night) but I won't mention them again, if I'm not prompted.

Münster (Muenster):
Don't mix it up with Munster, another town in Germany. This often leads to funny situations with foreign guests. Muenster is about 80 km north of Dortmund, that should make the decision easy. Here is the homepage of Muenster.
There's a lot of history (buildings etc.) in that (very catholic) town, so a guided walk through will be offered by me

Where am I:
Wolfgang Hell
Wiener Str. 24
48145 Muenster
Tel.: 0251/374477
Mail: hell@psy.uni-muenster.de (never on weekends)

Where do we congregate:
I'd say we start at my place, later in the garden (weather permitting) or in a pub.

Should I make a reservation for a room in a pub which does not mind musicians making the expected noise?

What do we do?
Some of us, Susanne, Mudguard, Wolfgang are 'passive' musician, most of us are active. Well, I for instance like singing (and even Bodhran playing) but with more fun than ability.
But everyone of us likes to listen to life folk music so that's what we should do. (Just in case we get tired I have enough records to play a month without repetition).

Recording:
Susanne has suggested we record the music for Mudcat Radio. Sorry, but I have no equipment for that and if I do have bits of it I don't know (I've never tried recording music at all). I think everything that is necessary for that has to be brought by someone else.
