Stony Stratford has a community building called York House. At one time it was a boarding school but is now used for various events.

I've spoken to the guy in charge, and discovered to my (grin) amazement that he's also the guy in charge of our local folk festival. He's quite enthusiastic about the possiblity of a mudcat gathering on his home turf.

There's a large field out the back on which tents and campers/vans can be put. The building has 2 floors and can accommodate an indeterminate number of adults for sleeping.

There are facilities to erect a bar if appropriate or required (ROFL) and one of the local landlords I may have met once or twice would be more than happy to help us out.

It would appear that the second and fourth weekends in Feb 2002 are available at the moment, awaiting confirmation on that though.

Is this a goer? I can secure the place for a given date with a phone call, cost will be 'negotiable' *ahem* but of the order of £100 for the saturday and sunday. Could I please have any feedback and comments?
