JeZ, great idea,and I would be delighted.. can you pick me up from the London Train due at Selby station at 13.04 on Friday?? Will you recognize me??? I will be wearing a long black cloak and a badge saying " Mudcat Cafe... Micca" and pushing a barrow containing a 1922 complete copy of Encyclopedia Britannica, and will say.. "the daffodils are frozen in the high parts of Siberia".. and you reply "but spring is coming up the steppes"

Mrs.Duck - after finally figuring out which weekends all the festivals are we are all going to. SAm shouldn't be away this weekend. I will try and pursuade him to come when we go pick up his accordion from the music room tomorrow. (3 reeds have gone now after holmfirth, think he'll have to take it steady!!)

Micca - I can give you a lift from Selby to The Jug as I have to go through Selby first anyway. I'm not working so whenever you get in is great. I on;y live down the road so it won't take me long to get there.

What do you think?

Mrs Duck, it is at this stage, bearing in mind your unfortunate 'accident' at Moor & Coast, that I suggest you get Geoff to paint 'LOO' in luminous paint on the caravan toilet door- we would hate to lose you half way thru' especially if you are parked close to the river!

Have just spent some time sorting through the threads to find out who said they might be there and have made a list in the 'Have you told Mrs Duck?' thread. Please check it especially if you had thought of coming but haven't told us!
Look who's coming

Spots kennel will be incorporated with Daves cave. It will be clean and tidy and have a slight leak. In the event of serious rain we will be appealing to the immediate community for assistance in the form of comfort , dry area's and warmth.

It should be said that I am noted for being appealing due to my big moist eyes , my soft fur and enormous wet tongue.

Skipjack,

At your suggestion, I'll be bringing the mandola as I don't play it nearly enough and like the sound.

This has now given me a headache though.

For it needs new strings and of course spares, and loopies are hard (let's say impossible) to get in Brussels.

So now I have to microsurgically remove 16 balls!

...and I don't have any veterinary training whatsoever...

Off to the Jug again for some more final arranging. Its amazing how many times I have to keep going there!!I'm not particularly into themed singarounds but I thought it would be nice if the Sunday lunchtime session were called 'The Parting Glass' and include as many farewells as possible without being too maudlin! I know some will still be there later in the day but a lot have to travel so I thought it would be a nice round up and you've got one week, yes, seven days to sort out a suitable song.

I'll be bringing a minidisc as well, but I may be too busy and/or drunk to use it. Did I say may? I wonder what possessed me to use that word?

We have a minidisc that has produced some fairly good results in sessions. Our other minor problem is the computer. My laptop has a fault on the microphone socket but I think rigging up Syd's PC in the bar might be a bit awkward. I shall have a trip to PC world or Chris Stephenson and see if it is easy to sort but if anyone else has a lap top set up for paltalk that might solve the problem. Syd has already said we can use the line so I'm hoping for an hour or so after the ceilidh on Saturday night.

I met the Stephensons at the w/e in Hastings,(charming folks, esp. that Geraldine!!!) where they were attending to the Sheffield Giants and they certainly indicated their intentions to be at the Jug, since it appears to be the annex of their house!!!!

Madame Duck- does the elastic programme have anything to do with you in a boob tube?? (Rest of your posting makes sense then....) :0)

It was only the thought of meeting up with lots of lovely people at the Jug that made the return from the Germany Gathering bearable. Have you got the good weather booked?
