Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Davetnova Date: 20 Apr 04 - 06:13 AM I will bring a spare tent just incase anyone needs it (and underpants) |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:16 PM YorkshireYankee - we have a contraption that converts from a car battery to an ordinary 3 pin outlet - you'd have to PM Manitas to find out voltage, duration and recharging abilities... if it helps, it's yours for the weekend. Failing that, we could take it in turns to drive you round the car park all night with the car lighter adapter on!!! Do hope to see you there... I'm curious about this machine of yours now! LTS |

Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 19 Apr 04 - 11:00 AM Nasally retentive??? Quack! GtD. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Les from Hull Date: 19 Apr 04 - 10:20 AM I've never seen my nostrils, only their reflections and photographs. (pedantique? moi?) |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 19 Apr 04 - 10:18 AM 'Ere - the Yorkshire Gathering is nothing to be sniffed at... Quack! GtD. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Linda Kelly Date: 19 Apr 04 - 08:56 AM Morty, spoken like someone who hasn't seen her nostrils since 1974! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Morticia Date: 19 Apr 04 - 08:48 AM There now Wulfie, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the Lure of the Mudgather once you'd been to one......more addictive than cocaine, this lot are. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Raedwulf Date: 19 Apr 04 - 12:05 AM Add another tent, provided I can get leave sorted (shouldn't be a problem)... |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: YorkshireYankee Date: 13 Apr 04 - 05:47 PM Hi Selby, Appreciate the advice... but the problem is not that I need access to alcohol -- but rather electricity (while I sleep); no tents I know of (thus far) offer this feature! (I would be happy to find I am wrong about this, so if anybody can correct me on that, please do!) Cheers, YY (solar powered by day, electrically powered by night... ;-) ) |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: selby Date: 13 Apr 04 - 12:58 PM Yorkshire Yankee you are right there are no guest houses near if you like a drink the best advice i can give is buy/borrow a tent. Oh go on Jane I have a few questions in me ead. Keith |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: YorkshireYankee Date: 13 Apr 04 - 12:12 PM How 'bout if I share a room with BOTH Ducks? Surely Mrs Duck couldn't object to *that*... |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 13 Apr 04 - 11:22 AM Might be boiling a larger duck next time !!!!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 12 Apr 04 - 08:49 PM I'd share a room, but Mrs.Duck might see it otherwise... :@} Quack! GtD. Actually - we'll check if there is any chance of electricity. The session is at the Black Dog tomorrow, so we should be across then. Geoff. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: YorkshireYankee Date: 12 Apr 04 - 05:44 PM Have been doing some searching on the net; found a Guest House ~5 miles from the Gathering. If anyone knows of any better options, please let me know. Also, if anyone is interested in sharing a room, please contact me -- it would really help keep the price down! YY |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: YorkshireYankee Date: 12 Apr 04 - 04:44 PM Hello Mr & Mrs D, Good to meet you at the Barnsley Folk Festival this weekend. BTW, very much enjoyed your answer to the fellow who asked "WHAT have you done with your children?" (For those not lucky enough to have been there, both Ducks replied -- without missing a beat -- "Boiled 'em!"). I trust your littl'uns have managed (despite boiling) to completely devour their Easter choccies already... or do they still have some left? Thanks for letting me know about this -- I'm definitely going to try to get there, but the fact that it's all camping may make it a little difficult for me. For health reasons, I need access to an electrical outlet when I sleep, so a tent is not practical in my case -- unless this field has electrical hookups available (I get the impression it doesn't). Is there anything along the lines of a B&B fairly near-by? Also -- I'll be coming from Sheffield, so if there's anyone else planning to come from thereabouts, I'm happy to have a passenger or two (or to be a passenger & help with petrol costs). Cheers, YY |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 Apr 04 - 09:57 AM Never too late Chris - glad you can make it. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Phot Date: 12 Apr 04 - 04:50 AM Am I too late to say yes please? One small tent and a small car. Wassail! Chris |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 11 Apr 04 - 03:20 PM Just to keep everything in mind. Liz I have already given thought to something for the landpersons but if anyone has good ideas PM me as they might read this and spoil the suprise. As always the weekend will largely run itself but some folk have made suggestions that didn't end in off which could be included as part of the festivities. 1. Liz has expressed interest in arranging a panel type game in the vein of "Whose brain is minding the buzzcocks anyway?" 2. The Webfooted Ramblers invite you to an hour or two of old time/american music song etc. at a time to be thought up on the day. 3. There will be an ongoing quiz sheet available (want to help me with this one next week Selby?) 4. Sunday am raise the rafters with a few full throttled songs not necessarily religious but they do have some belters - bring words if possible but nothing too taxing and don't worry if we get it wrong we'll have been up late. Any other ideas please let me know and if you have questions I might even be able to answer some of them. Ta |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: GUEST,Andy Date: 02 Apr 04 - 09:27 AM If it works, I'm not bothered |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Morticia Date: 02 Apr 04 - 05:33 AM You know, I've wondered how a man of the cloth can do such evil things to my head and insides......I think that Abbott is actually working for the devil. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 01 Apr 04 - 06:47 PM Usually a couple of good guest beers. Greene King Abbott is a regular. We'll check up closer to the time and post what might be anticipated. I expect that they will have something suitable and interesting in specially for us... Quack! GtD. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: GUEST,Andy Date: 01 Apr 04 - 07:20 AM what beer do they have at the pub |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 01 Apr 04 - 07:15 AM Liz - g back 2 postings before yours for the answer to your question - Mrs.Duck is doing her presience thing. Quack!! GtD. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Apr 04 - 05:47 AM Wigan - I don't steer them any more, just a pillion ride would be fine.... Would a barby be organised by the pub or would it be a bring and burn thing? I think it would be good if we could treat the landlord and landlady to something, to say thank you for everything they will be doing for us. LTS |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: GUEST,wigan Date: 31 Mar 04 - 12:23 PM got my new bike tig, thats why i made up my mind. someboby mentioned a barby i think. liz the squeak, u can have a ride if you look after it. its my pride and joy |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 31 Mar 04 - 11:18 AM Gary and Tracy mentioned doing a barbeque - more on the lines of they cook we pay rather than throw your own. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Mar 04 - 06:57 PM Who mentioned a Barby? I will see what I can arrange on the lines of 'Whose clue is it Julian?' Wigan - if I bring my gear can I have a pillion ride please? I miss my bike so much..... LTS |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 30 Mar 04 - 04:12 PM From: GUEST Date: 30 Mar 04 - 02:53 PM barby sounds good on sat pm. y am I listed as a guest? anyone tell me? Okay - give us a clue - who are you? if we know that we might be able to guess the answer! Quack! Geoff. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Tig Date: 30 Mar 04 - 03:39 PM All being well we will be there! Glad to see you have finally made your mind up wigan. |

Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: fiddler Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:37 AM Just reviewed this thread - very foolish thing to do - My paid work has dried up that weekend so I should be in attendance - Might have to bring stepper too!!!! Possibly LilWobble! We only need one car space tent pitches on the roof! fingers toes and any other appendacges crossed A X |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: GUEST Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:20 AM Sort of :- "I'm sorry! Whose mind is it?" Quack! GtD. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:18 AM Sounds like a good idea Liz. I'm always open to suggestions ;0) |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Catherine Jayne Date: 25 Mar 04 - 04:03 AM Sounds like a good idea Liz!...count me in if it goes ahead! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Mar 04 - 07:20 PM Of course, if Sean Connery comes up with a better offer, I'll just sent Limpit and Manitas...... Does anyone fancy some organised activity on the lines of 'Never mind the Buzzcocks/I'm sorry I haven't a clue/Whose line is it anyway? sort for the Saturday afternoon/early evening? LTS |

Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Davetnova Date: 16 Mar 04 - 03:44 AM Me and Nancy and sprog and small camper. I may be showing more than hands if I don't get my nickers back. They cost money and were hardly even dirty. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: harpmaker Date: 15 Mar 04 - 06:43 PM 2 hands Jane! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2004 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Mar 04 - 06:25 PM Manitas, myself and the Limpit will be attending.... probably arriving about 10ish on the Friday night. LTS - only 2 months to go now!!! |
