So.   I live not so far away.   But.    I'm working Fri, Sat & Sun.
What time does it finish on Mon.   Is it worth the effort to go down.
How much will that cost etc.    Can I go to free things.    Will I be allowed to sing.

I'll probably be going this year, but it all depends if dad (ie Andy) lets me stop making badges for all you peeps. My hands are seriously hurting now... im sure its slave labour or something. :)

On a reasonably serious note, Im the Code Monkey for miskins website, dad does the actual content, but the design and implimentation is often mine. Im just thinking about next years festival (if dad does it of course) does anyone have any requests for the site? There isnt any limit to what i can do to be honest, I made dad buy a proper host for it so i can do Photo Gallerys where you can add ur own pictures, a forum for chat, or whatever you want. Let me know via [e-mail] or this weekend at the fest, and i'll see what i can do. Between my Uni studies and socialising of course.

Thanks

Hi there, Ted and I and the kids will be there sometime Saturday and going home Sunday, running the Folk Club Saturday night in between. Unfortunately I have to work Friday evening then again on Monday. Sarah is desperately looking forward to it as she started playing fife at the beginning of the term and played it several times in the local folk club last night, to enthusiastic applause, which she enjoyed greatly (as do we all) and she can't wait to show off to all her Miskin/Sidmouth friends.

Love Lynne

Dave:

The 'New' Severn Bridge (the more Southerly of the two) provides greater protection from the wind than the older model.

And if anyone fancies a spot of storytelling there is always the story walk through the wood, ending up at the campfire on Sunday evening, accompanied by a healthy bucket of hot mulled cider.   Bring your stories.

Wow! such a lot of interest in such a small festival. Seems I'm getting some of it right. I'm actually looking forward to it this year, that's probably a bad sign, I work best when I'm panicing!
See you all there - except those that won't be. I take the above excuses as letters from your Mums and let you off this year!

So I am. I hadn't checked the website lately for confirmation.
I shall also be Concert Director (that's Andy's title for me anyway, I think he's trying to make me feel important) which means if you are booked, I make sure you are where you should be when you should be. We used to call that Stage manager in my day.

I've been to a bigger dictionary, and "Meisgyn" means "Moth"

My mate reckons that during the big push to get bilingual roadsigns in the 70s, this was a hasty transliteration done late on a Friday afternoon.

By the way, I will be there at Easter.

Could Gyn be related to the Greek word for "woman"?

I think it might be safer to stick with Nigel's Maes Gwyn (=Whit(e)field)

On the meaning of Miskin.
The road sign to Miskin has the Welsh name as Meisgyn.
I think the first syllable means "shallow" but my dictionary doesn't have a word "gyn".
Any thoughts?
