Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Richard Bridge Date: 29 Mar 07 - 10:29 AM This was a considerably smaller thread than the 2007 one, and I suspect the 2005 one smaller still. Do we have any idea how much Miskin has grown, and how many people are likely to have been there, year on year up to last year 2006? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: GUEST Date: 22 Jul 06 - 06:39 PM The list of guests will be out soon than latet.Watch this space for 2007. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 27 Apr 06 - 02:19 PM Now no fighting over a hat! Yes that would be great, Morti. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Morticia Date: 27 Apr 06 - 11:49 AM I can collect the hat from Andy at The Fox and Hounds and bring it to you at the Yorkshire Gathering, if that helps? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 27 Apr 06 - 11:20 AM So look out for me, you can't miss me: I'll be wearing a purple fleece over a black jumper with matching waistcoat, topped off with a fetching black woolly hat squeezed under a straw boater with feathers in it......Hmm p'raps not!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 27 Apr 06 - 09:30 AM Ali, not going to Upton, Foxhounds or Lewes (don't know anything about that one) but yes please collect hat - will run into you sooner than Andy no doubt. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Splott Man Date: 27 Apr 06 - 03:43 AM If the woolly hat is a Thinsulate with a tear in the seam at the top, then it's mine, ta. I've got a spare Thursday night, which you can borrow till August. Splott Man |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Abuwood Date: 27 Apr 06 - 03:04 AM Jane are you going to Upton or Foxhounds? If not do you want me to collect and deliver to Lewes? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: My guru always said Date: 26 Apr 06 - 04:05 PM you were definitely missed George, but we managed to enjoy ourselves anyway! Welcome back! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: George Papavgeris Date: 26 Apr 06 - 02:51 PM I consider myself told! Hell or high water and all that. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 26 Apr 06 - 02:39 PM It's okay, Thursday night has been found - it was hiding under a hat trimmed with feathers. The hat that is not Thursday night! It will be at Upton and/or Foxnounds. Welcome back George, the first of next years guests to be booked. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Scooby Doo Date: 26 Apr 06 - 01:26 PM Welcome back George,glad you missed us.I am also pleased you had a great time in Oz. Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: George Papavgeris Date: 26 Apr 06 - 01:23 PM And I had a most wonderful time in Oz - so why am I jealous? Hey ho, here's to 2007 though. Isn't Miskin the most amazing experience? Perhaps one should rename it "Mystic Miskin". |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 26 Apr 06 - 12:45 PM I lost part of Thursday night but that might have been the fault of the wine!! Geoff also lost a straw hat that I had decorated with feathers etc. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 26 Apr 06 - 08:54 AM Only a few things left behind this year but Jillie recomends you do as the kiddies at her school do and attach name labels to every bit of clothing!! One heavy black knitted jumper One Black woolly hat One black Waistcoat with a stiched pattern. We have even been through the photos looking for the waistcoat and cant find it. I'll bring them all to Upton and the Fox and Hounds. Something less than DNA testing will do as proof of ownership!! Andy (from under piles of paperwork and Miskin stuff) |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 25 Apr 06 - 12:30 PM Oi Richard - that's 10p please. Jillie Oh and the Bunny's name was 'Kitty' |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 24 Apr 06 - 04:59 PM We were all far too well controlled obviously, only £3.88 in burp bucket. But every penny donated to full accompaniment. The mummers raised £27 and Lesleys Name the Bunny £48. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: My guru always said Date: 24 Apr 06 - 04:42 PM Brill Piccies Micca, Thanks! Didn't manage to get my camera out very often so I've nicked yours *TeeHee* What a fantastic total for the Charity, well done to all Miskinites! Any idea how much was in Richard's Burp Bucket? It's all in the timing *ducks & runs for cover* |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 24 Apr 06 - 02:55 PM Finally counted MGAS's our donation boxes. Thanks to amazing efforts by "My Guru Always Says" and her merry band at Miskin at Easter, the sum of £430 was raised in the raffle. A further £80 was raised by Lesley's "name the Bar Bunny" and other donations. A grand total of £510. Well done. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: pixieofdoom Date: 23 Apr 06 - 07:07 PM A wonderful festival as always, can't give enough thanks to Andy, Jillie, Anna and everyone else. If anyone else has any pics of the welcome home banner they'd be much appreciated as we had no camerea this year. Love to all Fiona (and a still beer sodden groan from Jack) |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 23 Apr 06 - 09:31 AM Just a quickie, hopeful request! Has anybody seen a green canvas toolbag full of assorted woodworking etc type tools. Just the size to throw in someone else car whi;le helping with the quick getaway. It's not so much the value of the tools but wondering what was in there. Ta Andy (still in tidy up recovery mode P.S.I have the usual motley collection of clothing leftovers so PM me if you are missing anything. I've still got a pair of specs and a full set of keys from last year!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Apr 06 - 09:18 AM Well done Micca.They show the atmosphere of Miskin, even with Jack drunk surrounded with bottles. Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Micca Date: 23 Apr 06 - 09:05 AM Here are some Pix, I had a lovely time, lotsa singing but real life intervened with a vengence when I got home hence the delay in posting these, Micca's Pix They include Chris;s Welcome Banner!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Apr 06 - 08:08 AM Happy St George's day for those across the border. Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Abuwood Date: 23 Apr 06 - 07:58 AM It was your expert direction Steve that put us all in shape - Does anyone have any photos? I am making St George a special dinner today as it is his day.... Ali |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Schantieman Date: 23 Apr 06 - 07:27 AM Arriving here late I can only echo the complimentary remarks above. A cracking weekend. How clever of you to arrange the weather as well as everything else. And thanks to those who made the mummers' play a success! Happy St George's Day Steve |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: MBSLynne Date: 23 Apr 06 - 06:53 AM I only saw Teddy awake once! And then he was so tired he was almost asleep. I think Ted probably has some good photos too, it's just a case of him getting around to sorting them Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Eye Lander Date: 23 Apr 06 - 06:47 AM Sue..... I have some photos of Friday evening for you, but due to technical error (PC crashed)I have lost all my email addresses. Can you email me please. Jillie |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Morticia Date: 22 Apr 06 - 06:19 PM Teddy was one of the Stars of the show.....what a cutie! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: MBSGeorge Date: 22 Apr 06 - 06:11 PM had a fantastic time. teddy loved it. xxx |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Apr 06 - 05:54 PM Thanks Rhiannon. Typical though....all over the country but nothing near us! Leicestershire seems to be a blank for a lot of things Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Zany Mouse Date: 22 Apr 06 - 05:11 PM Hi Lynne I'm hooked too and I've been searching for some lace tuition locally. I found a site which might be of help as it lists a few lace guilds - Lace Guilds Hope this helps |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: GUEST,Scooby Doo Date: 22 Apr 06 - 04:58 PM Glad you liked the birthday card Jillie. Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Dave Earl Date: 22 Apr 06 - 01:21 PM Happy Birthday Jillie, BTW If there is any chance of a Miskin Reunion (or revived Winter Warmer) Elizabeth and I would be up for it (cash and leave allowance permitting) See you all soon - Sidmouth if not before:-) Dave |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Scooby Doo Date: 22 Apr 06 - 12:50 PM Happy Birthday Jillie.I hope you liked my card. Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Apr 06 - 11:04 AM Since none of us wants to wait a whole year for next Miskin, I don't suppose there's any chance of reviving the Winter Warmer? I realise that would be a lot more work on top of what you already do. Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Apr 06 - 11:02 AM Awwwww...Andy we love you too! You certainly seem to have been able to create some sort of magic with Miskin. Don't change a thing! Happy birthday Jillie! I do hope that the two of you...and Anna actually managed to enjoy yourselves too. You seemed to be working all the time. Anna has managed to addict my daughter and I am now searching around for lace-making groups in NW Leicestershire. Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Dave4Guild Date: 22 Apr 06 - 08:01 AM At Last! I can now add a couple of comments! It took me and Brenda a few days to recover from this year's Miskin, which is why I haven't posted before, just totally knackered! - the whole weekend was magic, meeting old friends and making new ones. The music was great from beginning to end. It is difficult to pick out a "Magic Moment" but one was playing Teddy Bear's Picnic with Ned (Splott Man) outside in the sunshine. Playing in Nellies Bar alongside Mick Pierce at various times during the weekend was a privelige, hearing Vikki and Johnny and their young friends was fantastic and howling with laughter with Bill and Joan,getting Giggly with Trefor and Vicki and...on...and..on and on!! Thank you Andy and Jillie and all their helpers. Dave'n'Brenda |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006 From: Andy Jackson Date: 22 Apr 06 - 05:43 AM You are just the most wonderful bunch of friends a bloke could wish for; I am so proud and happy. It is a truly humbling experience to be able to gather together such a group with such a bond of friendship and so much phenominal collective talent. I have followed every word of this Mudcat thread since the very start and time permitting chipped in occasionally. The last few days I have been reading in absolute wonder!! What have I got here? I wanted to reply to each and every thankyou personally and was waiting for the fuss to die down, but it hasn't. And then last night the amazing gesture of waiting for me to get the 500. You know I'm a soft old bugger, and that was the final emotional straw. (Tissues please) It is Jillie's Birthday today so I will be trying to get her away from Miskin chat and relax for the day. You should see the lists that She and Anna have made already for next year!! For the time being, a real heartfelt collective thank you to all of you. Mudcat have really got the Miskin Tingle factor. I love you all. Andy |
