Aid to cash flow in the post this A.M.

Thanks to help from Andy, who seems a stranger to the negatives of life, we are confirmed attenders.

Will of course secrete some of the dreaded chocolate about our persons.

Roll on Easter.

We JUST come into the East Midlands. We're in Nottinghamshire but only about 1.5 miles away from South Yorkhire. Our social life seems to be based in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

I know of people from Surrey and I believe Crouch Vale in Essex will be there.

It's not a South East takeover though, there are Scots coming as well!

Hi Linda - - Yes it does look like Kent's going to be empty at Easter doesn't it. It'll be good to see you again, and I ain't seen that old reprobate Don T for a while. What with Richard Bridge and Capella too (and maybe Jeff the great)it's going to be quite a home from home. I'll be thinking of absent friends too mind you.

Spare cash Hils? That's about as likely as spare chocolate!

I've heard people say that things were almost inaudible before and I tend to agree with Andy! What is inaudible to you is often a continual noise which will drive me insane!

For your benefit Miskin Man the chocolates are different than i won in the raffle last night!!!.I thought about you having them but thought better you can have a traditional egg from me.

Thanks Richard,

I expect Andy will contact me to expand on "Wyzi is sorted", sounds as tho' he has the answer. I tend to share your misgivings about Calor, and paraffin can be hard to live with in confined spaces.

Look forward to seing the friends I know, and those I have yet to make.

Isn't retirement great. I never was able to get there before.

Date: 16 Mar 06 - 05:06 PM

Don, I will have a 750 watt generator with me - if I can get there. There is a slightly delicate problem about getting Jeff there, it seems, but if he stays home at least it will save me a dogsitter!

I also have a large paraffin and several calor gas bottle heaters, but that may be a bit risky in a carryingvan!

Last year I forgot the tent completely Hils, so if people could bring spare pegs, rope, erm.......tent, beds, sleeping bags.....chocolate ( just slipped that in to see if you were paying attention *G*) then we should be all set!

Hey Don, it'll be good to see/hear you again!
We'll be with our van but I have to say the 'normal' site for Vans at Miskin has no hook-ups. There may be something that Andy can suggest under the circumstances, so don't despair, I'm sure he'll be along soon & answer your query!

Scooby: So glad you'll be on Parade, and complete with rafle prize - well done Girlie!

Morti: Shall we bring some spare tent-pegs & heavy-duty rope?

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2006
From: Don(Wyziwyg)T
Date: 16 Mar 06 - 02:31 PM

I shall be there with my wife, providing that I can get a pitch with electric hookup, either at the main site, or at a commercial park within reach.

If I can't use the heater in my van, my wife's arthritis renders her immobile on cold days.

Any information on the subject would be most welcome. We plan to arrive on the Thursday and leave on Tuesday morning.

For those I haven't met, look out for the big toothless lump with "Wysiwyg" across the scratchplate of his guitar.

To Richard Bridge and everyone else in general. As per usual the Mill Site is only available to us from Thursday late afternoon and has to be vacated by midmorning MONDAY This is more important than ever this year as there are a group of Scouts arriving Monday afternoon!!!!! The proper caravan and campsite 400 yards up the road will be available Thursday and you can stay here until TUSDAY. A much better bet if you can walk 400 yards.
Although this is clear on the fliers I must write something similar on the website.
Oh by the way the
website
is constantly being updated with more artist info so keep an eye on it.
Another point while I'm chatting. If you have nmade links to Miskin on your site it would help if they pointed to the main title page as there is lots of info there that I don't repeat every year, also access to old pictures that you would not know about if you came in the back door. Ta
See you all soon.
Andy

Thank you for offering to look after Micca, Terri!! I'm sure he will behave himself, and if he doesn't I ma sure I will find out *Evil Grin*!!! Micca could bring Jolene with him if you are missing Jack?...

Wish I could be there with you all......prehaps next year....

Is Micca allowed out on his own??

Well, no, we all know that and since his missus will not be present, I spose it falls upon me to keep the evil old scote in check.After all, I've been attempting it the best part of forty years, I must have something right by now...possibly...( sigh).

I'm just grateful I prolly won't have Jack to deal with as well.
