Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Linda Kelly Date: 01 Nov 01 - 06:33 AM Jug sounds good Jane- I think I will just pack a suitcase in February and not bother to unpack all year!!!! |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Mrs.Duck Date: 31 Oct 01 - 07:12 PM Just a slight deviation - the gathering at the Jug is ON and will take place on the weekend before Spring bank which I think makes it 24th May 2002. We are in the diary and hopefully we will have the marquee again . I know it is bound to clash with someone but that will always be the case but I hope to see as many of you from all over the UK and beyond as possible!! |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Matthew Edwards Date: 31 Oct 01 - 06:42 PM Actually, Noreen, considering that the Bedfordshire Ouse is notorious for flooding Lakes of Pontchartrain is a pretty appropriate tune: So fare thee well, my mudcat girl,since its you I have to lose You were swept away, on a frosty day, on the banks of the Bedfordshire Ouse Then I kissed her little sister And forgot my Mudcat girl! |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Noreen Date: 31 Oct 01 - 06:07 PM Love the song, Matthew! Multipart harmonies to the Lakes of Pontchartrain- or what tune did you have in mind? I said, my pretty mudcat girl, the indoor camping's good Noreen pluscookie |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: John Routledge Date: 31 Oct 01 - 03:04 PM Dai - In my earlier life as a Chartered Surveyor I dealt with legal documentation regarding property occupation etc etc. Will be happy to look at anything you receive. Cheers John. |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Matthew Edwards Date: 31 Oct 01 - 12:33 PM Stony sounds great for second weekend in February. Noreen, we can form a convoy down the A5, picking up Llanfair along the way (if she wants). Now I will really have to warn my little brother that his sheltered life in Stony is about to be very rudely disturbed. (NB Must also tell him to hide those sheep!) A Song for the Gathering It was on one February evening when frost lay all around, I walked through Stony Statford, as snow fell to the ground. I was seeking for a 'Cat house, some contentment for to find, And music, joy, and laughter to ease my lonely mind. I called in at the House of York, and there it did me please To hear sounds of voices singing in sweetest harmonies. The ale was freely flowing; with glasses raised on high The Mudcatters were drinking to the one and only Dai. So fill your glasses to the brim, and let us make a toast To that scion of statistics, our gentle bard and host. And if you're tired of wandering along old Watling Street, Call at the Cock Inn, or the Bull, where music and friends meet. Count me in as a definite. Dai do PM me, I can't help much with organisation but will try what I can. |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Llanfair Date: 31 Oct 01 - 10:50 AM Would you believe it!! 2 days of not getting in, and now the self-repair circuits have cut in.......typical!!! |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: GUEST,Llanfair-with-no-name. Date: 31 Oct 01 - 10:43 AM Aha!!! I'm in!!! What do you need to know, Dai? If you PM me when Mudcat is better, I'll give you my phone number. This sounds great!!! Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: GUEST,Noreen no-cookie Date: 31 Oct 01 - 06:56 AM Just caught up with this now I've got back in- great idea, Dai. I can get onto Watling Street half a mile from my cottage, and it'll take me all the way there! :0) 2nd weekend in Feb (8th -10th) would be good as it's followed by half term. Suggest you start a new thread with current proposal and assess interest. Bron (Llanfair) would be the person to talk to about the Llanstock experience, I'll e-mail her in case she's having probs getting into mudcat. Some of us can get in but are cookieless for the time being, so can't use PMs. Noreen |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: GUEST,Dai with no cookie Date: 31 Oct 01 - 05:01 AM I'll start another thread when the cat is sorted out then. I'm currently awaiting receipt of the terms and conditions. PLEASE: could anybody who was involved in Llanstock contact me for advice and caveats? It would be much appreciated... |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: John Routledge Date: 30 Oct 01 - 02:07 PM YHA Gathering 2002 has died a death I think. Long live Stoney Stratford. No rush as yet to book YHA 2003 if that is what is wanted although YHA advise the sooner the booking the greater the choice. EG 50% of hostels are booked for New Year 2002/2003. Second w/e in Feb is hardly prime time though. Really only Langdale and Llangollen are suitable but I have been known to be wrong :0) Will post again under new thread when Stoney Stratford sorted. Cheers John |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 30 Oct 01 - 09:11 AM FYI, indoor camping is fine at York House. I've already cleared it with 'mah man'... There are numerous hotels and guest houses in town should anyone be feeling particularly flush, and a limited number of people could be put up in my house... |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Hilary Date: 30 Oct 01 - 09:04 AM Stony Stratford is fine, . But camping ...., Outside ...., . IN FEBRUARY ..., . I thnk I'll pass on that one ! |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 30 Oct 01 - 08:49 AM blicky it's 50 miles northwest of London on the A5. |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 30 Oct 01 - 08:43 AM Where's Stony Stratford? E |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 30 Oct 01 - 07:38 AM 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? |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 29 Oct 01 - 06:25 AM Shuddering at the thought of a possible trip 'up North', can we meet either side and or somewhere in the middle of Offas Dyke? I more or less live right smack bang right on the edge of the border (the Offas Dyke).. So, what's the general plans... I've kind of lost the plans... (no comment, I lost the plot a long time ago) E |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: alanww Date: 29 Oct 01 - 05:52 AM Having been too late to book the Youth Hostel we wanted at the time we wanted for 2002, we should book early for 2003! When do they start to get booked up Geordie Broon? Kind friends and companions come join me in rhyme ... |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Susanne (skw) Date: 28 Oct 01 - 06:07 PM Actually, I wouldn't mind going from the Brussels gathering straight on to another one (or verce visa :-) - but I couldn't possible come in January. |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Willa Date: 28 Oct 01 - 05:12 PM The one and only Dai ...'Yorkshire a natural centre of gravity'; but of course - we don't want any frivolity over here, thanks! |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Gareth Date: 28 Oct 01 - 03:27 PM Whoa ! Whoa ! Please refer to Geordies Browns Post of Date: 25-Oct-01 - 06:52 PM Above Lets firstly concentrate on what is possible this side of April 02 - Then lets look at 2003 Gareth |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Oct 01 - 03:13 PM I never gather my brussels until after the first frost, the flavour is better. Jock |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: MudGuard Date: 28 Oct 01 - 01:17 PM And in May 2002 there is the Brussels gathering! |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Herga Kitty Date: 28 Oct 01 - 01:01 PM If you're looking at May 2002, don't forget that the second Bank Holiday (and Chippenham Festival) has shifted from the last weekend in May to the first in June, because of the Queen's Golden Jublilee...

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: alanww Date: 28 Oct 01 - 12:54 PM Feb 2003 I feel that we do need to book up now and, as long as it is in early/mid Feb and up north, I'm sure that the deposit would not be at risk! I suggest Geordie Broon goes for it! Who else would be interested? Would it be worth starting a new thread to record interest in that? Feb 2002 If we cannot get a venue up north in Feb this winter, I suggest that we wait until The one and only Dai has all the info on the possibility down south. Then we can start a new thread on that to see if there is enough interest to make it viable! May 2002 We could still go to The Jug, as suggested by Mrs Duck. But where is The Jug and is there a specific date yet? Swing low sweet Chariot ... |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: lady penelope Date: 28 Oct 01 - 07:30 AM hehehehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahahahahahahahahagiggle! After all this giggling I've quite lost the plot! ( Deep breath ) Early January is too close to new years for a lot of folk. Any later brings indoor camping into doubt. I think we have to decide if we want a gathering before the end of May. If not, do we wait to find out what's happening at the Jug, or decide on an alternative as soon as possible? TTFN M'Lady P. |

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: MudGuard Date: 26 Oct 01 - 06:47 PM If I understand Erik and Gareth right it should be no problem to eat a sheep if one of them had only his hands on the sheep. Gareth, don't forget to apply for a visa! |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Gareth Date: 26 Oct 01 - 06:20 PM Damnation - I'am compromised - unless it's Llangollen I've got to cross Offers Dyke. ( No Joe this is not a comment on your proclivities) Gareth

Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Medea Date: 26 Oct 01 - 05:20 PM Down south? London? M4? Is that past Chesterfield? |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Mrs.Duck Date: 26 Oct 01 - 01:20 PM We eat the sheep as well Mudguard but preferably not after Eric's had his hands on them! As for babies I like the tender bit just above the knee mmmmmm. |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: Noreen Date: 26 Oct 01 - 07:46 AM Floorspace can go up as well as down ...just feels that way as a result of the operation of the drinking fund ... |
|
Subject: RE: UK - MUDCAT GATHERING 2002 part ii From: MudGuard Date: 26 Oct 01 - 07:40 AM Fibula, did you hear what they do to sheep in Wales and Yorkshire? If not, ask Gareth and Erik! Eating babies might be harmless in comparison. |
