SCOOBY DOO - If we didn't already have too much to carry, I'd bring my psaltery with me.
Actually, I may stick it in the caravan in case you are camping at the same location we end up at.
Quack!!

I'll try and get to the college for 6pm then - at least if there's an overflow site, then I shouldn't have to tow the van all the way home. It'll be the first time that we'll have used the new (well only 13 years old) caravan - it's much posher than the old one.

it must be said the El G has been granted official leave of abscence to attend Banbury this week end.
I trust you will all make it worth his while.

St Albans awaits a full report

If your travelling south after Cloudstreet on Sunday you could catch Queensberry Rules in the Legion in Verulam Road.

Re. Caravan Pitch: No access till 6pm Friday as the College is not available till then as per the info on the festival web-site. Advise arrive sooner rather than later as when full you'll be directed to an alternative further away.

It'll be good to see you, MM! I believe you are MCing my session on Friday.

I just sent a load of CDs to the distributors, but there will be plenty with me at Banbury... I just hope not to have to carry them all the way back again...

What an impressive list Guru - now confirmed I'll be there too - two "scheduled" appearances plus no doubt one or two unscheduled ones!

And make sure you bring enough CDs to cope with expected demand,
El G !

See you all at the Gather. It's gonna be a great weekend.

Dave: You asked "Does anyone know if I have to pre-book a caravan pitch at North Oxfordshire College, or can I just turn up on Friday ? A friend of ours is also interested in coming, will she be able to use the indoor camping, or again will she have to book first?"
I know Derek & Mary are up to their eyes, as I have just left them doing the lamination of signs, preparing photo copying and dealing with last minutes problems etc.
Anyway, I believe the answer to your question is Just turn up - first come first served!
See you Friday.

Guest, the problem would be in knowing which phone number(s) to leave, because I don't know where I'll be when they ring me up. I assume that other people who are planning to use the college facilities (or have done in the past) will know the answer to my question and be able to give me the information faster.

Dave,

Could I suggest that you leave a message when the answerphone kicks in, so that they know that you have been trying to contact them and will be able to get back to you and answer your query. That is what these machines are for....

Does anyone know if I have to pre-book a caravan pitch at North Oxfordshire College, or can I just turn up on Friday ? A friend of ours is also interested in coming, will she be able to use the indoor camping, or again will she have to book first ? I know that the cost is £4 per night.

I have tried phoning Derek & Mary, but just get their answerphone.

Do the Reindeer allow littlies in at all. Promise to take them out if they don't behave but they enjoy a sing and are mudcatters afterall!

Kitty: Season tickets not required for the Gather / Sing in the Reindeer! A meet for Catters & Cat-friends alike, but officially recognised in the Festival Program *grin*

Hope it all works OK after all this planning..... As far as we know we'll be taking over the Globe room after the Morris lunchers depart & will try to keep a sing / session (twig rules?) going till we can 'seamlessly blend' into the official Sing led by Snuffy, starting in that room at 7pm.

Ray, I spoke with Merek and Dary over the weekend, and there are still some Saturday tickets available; not many, you might want to contact them to book rather than trust on the day.

Season tickets were all but sold out as of last week - I think half a dozen left, that's all.

This should be really a good'un.
