As all three Pubs here now are not folk friendly, I am not planning a Llanstock this year. I am, however, looking into the possibility of booking the youth hostel at Borth for a weekend.
I'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Bron.

Llanstock 111-put me down for it Bron, My son might be in a production that week, and so the car might be needed, but I'll try-I'll ask Skipjack if he's busy-we can make some noise. What about Bill, sam, Emma, Patrish etc? Will you put up a Lstk 3 thread?

Oh the'Catters went to LLanfair,
Where the Beer and Song was wending,
But they met in Pipins Cafe
And our song it is now ending

Sorry I missed you on Saturday Bron - I was singing in Malvern in the afternoon but turned up for the evening sesh to hear that you'd visited. It wasn't quite what I was expecting at The Green Dragon but fun nevertheless. Taff says we might see you at The Miners Arms, Aug 2nd. Thanks for making the effort!

Please book us some indoor camping space unless there is a room for three available anywhere..... That's two adults and a 4 year old. Yes, you get to meet Rosemarys' Baby!!

Let me know if I can bring anything, we will have car space from/to London for 1 well built or 2 small bums (Phoebe takes up a lot of the back seat....) if anyone needs it.

Hello, Yes, not far from BC (I guess my entry on the 'Guest Beer string is a bit of a giveaway!). I go to the sessions at The Miners Arms, Priestweston, on the first Wednesday of the month, The Cock at Brockton on the third Wednesday of the month and The Six Bells in BC on Friday every three weeks (although that has just started a summer recess). There are also sessions this Saturday in Church Stretton - afternoon in The Kings Arms and evening at The Green Dragon. See you?

this sounds like a wonderful event. Even though I just returned from the UK I am dying to go back in the fall and this might be as good a reason as any...any room for a cappella singers who specialize in those sad, forlorn, Gaelic tales of lost love and premature death by drowning?

If I can persuade my daily grind to let up for a day or four, I'll be there. I may have to take pot luck on accommodation since I am not sufficiently confident to book.

Kevin, the offer of a lift still holds, if you don't mind waiting til a week or so beforehand for final confirmation.

96 (97 now) posts - quite a response, Bron.

NEWS....A place has been arranged for up to 5 caravans behind the light railway station. There are power connections, and it's a nice place by the river Banwy.
MORE NEWS...... The field (teeny paddock) behind the Red Lion has flat space for about 5 tents. Buff has arranged for her dogs to go into kennels for the weekend, so no problems there. The hall at the Institute is booked. Hwyl, Bron.

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, anyone?

I'll drink Jeyes fluid with bilgewater chasers when the good stuff runs out, but seeing as I have a vote, I won't waste it. Adnams, Wherry (Woodfordes) or any from the Greene King stable wouldv suit my undeniably East Anglian taste.

Bron, how about a mark 2 thread, as this is your baby?

Boddington's, Welsh Bitter, and a guest beer. Might I suggest a referendum to select the guest beer for the gathering? We've had Brakespear(sp) and Speckled Hen recently. I'm sure there will be no problem going along with the majority vote. Hwyl, Bron,

"Buff, the landlady at the Red Lion is going to make space in her dining room for floor sleepers."

Great - I think we should make a resolution that for every pint of beer we bring from elsewhere (for research and comparison purposes), we drink at least two of hers. Shouldn't be that hard to keep that one.

Here's a link to the thread where a workshop on the programme at Whitby was announced. I sent Graham Pirt a message enquiring if that's still one, but haven't heard back.

So if it is , that'd be the logical place for people to meeet. Otherwise I suppose lurcing into The Anchor or the Sailing Club and bellowing "Is there a Mudcat in the house?" might work. But I don't fancy doing that.

So far as Wales goes, I've every hope of being able to get there. but won't know for sure until much closer. So ideally I want to turn up with my sleeping bag, beer, and an instrument or so, and not have to camp outdoors unless there is unseasonally pleasant weather.

Having skimmed the BS: Beer discussion, I'm thinking that if we're talking B-B-Q perhaps everyone should come with a four-pack of their local brew? Purely for research purposes, of course, and in the interests of trans-regional harmony (sorry, I've been reading EC documents this morning ...) Assuming that I can sort everything out to get the weekend off, I'll bring some Felinfoel. Apparently, they invented tinned beer (WWI soldiers' rations!)

I've also been waiting for a reason to make Caitrin's Chocolate Chip Cookies, a recipe from a 'cat discussion some months back. Seems to make enough to feed God's army... This might be a good excuse...

Skarpi, I live in the frozen north of England (not quite as frozen as Iceland!) and can't come via London, but there's 'Catters a plenty that will be coming from that direction. I'm sure one of them will collect you from Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (McGraph?)whichever you fly into.

As for accommodation, if you are prepared to rough it with a sleeping bag, there will be many others (like me) who are doing the same.

It'd be grand to meet you, so I do hope you can make it.
