Black Prince.. methinks, very helpful there. ok for walk from Club wednesday night but a fair jaunt from Miskin. Windsor hotel looks favorite.

Scooby Doo - behave!!

The Windsor Hotel, Pontyclun will do B&B, that's about a mile away. There's a hotel whose name escapes me at Tya Garw, that's an extra half mile but it is handy for the superb Boar's head PH. The Cross Inn at Cross Inn does B&B too, that's about a mile and a half.

There were £26 rooms at the nearby Cardiff M4 Travelodge, could be cheaper than a B&B (except it's only the 1st B without the 2nd). Don't know if there are any left now: we booked one for 3 nights.

B & Bs are few and far between in our neck of the woods. But bearing in mind we are talking communal indoor camping over the weekend I have quite a bit of floor space in my house only very short walk from club. It will be full of festival stuff and VERY untidy but it beats sleeping in the rain. I will look into the B7 B situation as well so I'm not too crowded

Well, I am reminded that I did promise to provide more information on a certain event "a week before Miskin" that some of you seem to be coming to - so it's here. Make sure you follow all the 'blickies' - it was hell putting that post together!!

We're really looking forward to seeing all of you, whether at the "Wedding of the Year" ®, at Miskin or both.

I am dragging myself away from my usual jaunt to Fareham this year as 'Capella' have said that my significant other half and I would love it, and seeing as we are now bona-fide 'caravan' owners the idea of camping at Easter no longer bothers - we have heating and all that. We are braving the M25 and M4 mind you!

Andy - form and money will be in the post by Thursday and am making good the promise to come down I made 2 or 3 Fylde Festivals back.

The current world record holder for long distance Morris is our own Jim Bartlett of Bridgend, who is the fool for Cardiff Morris, and a very fine songwriter to boot. I believe he set the current record in the late 70s, and a very young Ben Dauncey accompanied him for some of the way, his father being Jim's musician for the duration.

See you all at Miskin.

I'll be involved with promotion in my patch for Next Foot Up with local Morris sides I know.

Will have plenty of info by then and sponsorship forms, so we'll bring them along & be glad to help. I'm sure Miskin folk will be generous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Bullying? Gentle persuasion methinks! But a timely warning indeed MiskinMan, hopefully people will bring lots of spare change for the Raffle - dig deep into those Sofas Folks! Hmm, perhaps I should increase the colours of the raffle tickets to 6 this year.....

Greene & Black most acceptable Dave, thanks to you both & also ZM! Am sure there'll be more offers momentarily :-)

Right then.. This years charity will be a splendid event re-enacting Kemps Jig.
Between 15th and 21st April 2006 Ben Dauncey will Attempt to Dance from Tunbridge Wells to Worcester, a distance of over 210 miles to establish a new world record for Morris Dancing and to raise £100,000 for two national charities.
Multiple Sclerosis and Make a Wish
MS is unfortunately all too common and most people will know someone affected by it.
Make a Wish are an amazing bunch whose simple aim is the "Granting wishes of children and young people aged 3 to 17 living with life-threatening diseases"

pop over to http://www.nextfootup.com/ for more details.

Two very appropriate causes for us to help with over Easter.
My Guru will be bullying you for help with this...you have been warned.
See you all soon.

Andy, thanks for the PM.

Geoff P - something wrong with your geography - you need to head UP and west from Wareham. Jack and I will look forward to seeing you, Lin and small economy? (expensive!) size.

Everyone else - I've got two years to catch up on - missed last year completely and previous year spent the whole weekend in camper before being rushed into hospital and having five months off work. I've got some ghosts to lay - so I'll apologise in advance for any anti-social (over indulgent - hic) behaviour!!!
