Noreen and Micca called accross last night for a bit of a preview. We left them at around 12.30 and I wouldn't want to be in Micca's head after the cider he was drinking!!!

Great surprise in the Jug last night. We were playing away merrily when who should walk in but Noreen and Micca all the way from Manchester and London. They were, of course, cornered by Mouldy, Jezabel, Tig, Badger, Geoff the Duck, and Mrs Duck and Selby and unusual for the Jug the night ended around 1-00am with songs instead of tunes. They have assured us that they will be attending the Gathering next month.

It was a great night meeting old friends I didn't know I had. Luckily (or unluckily depending on your view) it isn't full moon on the nights of the Yorkshire Gathering so no werewolves will be involved!

Lovely to visit the famous Jug, meet some new Mudcat friends and catch up with old friends (some older than others). Sorry for lack of advance warning- spur of the moment decision- well worth the trip!

Real purpose of visit (to check out the beer for prospective Gatherers) accomplished. Result... pretty good, but further sampling required.

Finally, I am home, can I say a big thank you to everyone at the Jug, who made us feel so welcome when we visited... It was great to add more faces to the list and to renew some older acquaintances. too, I didnt have the camera, as I discovered I was going to be in Manchester, unexpectedly and I phoned Noreen and said, "what do you think of surprising them at the Jug??" so there we were, My entry for name that beer is !Cat-atonia!

For anyone who, like Nick Scaife, is not aware - an explanation. Last year some Mudcatters who live in th UK decided that instead of being anonymous typings on a computer screen, they would like to join the pseudonyms up to some real faces, so it was suggested that someone should oprganise a get-together. Llanfair finally drew the short straw and organised a Mudcat get together in Wales, which has since been referred to as Llanstock. It was very successful, so in November there was another gathering at Swinton, Manchester.
At this Jane (Mrs.Duck) suggested that we should orghanise a gathering in Yorkshire, based at the Jug Inn, Chapel Haddlesey, (near Selby). Both Jane and myself have hosted weekends to celebrate birthdays and knew how well Syd treats "folky" people.
There are a lot of mudcatters who live close to the Jug or visit regularly, so we discussed suitabe dates and came up with this particular weekend.
There is space on the beer garden for tents and caravans and also b&b within a reasonable distance. We would appreciate an idea of numbers who are intending to come along so that field space can be allocated.

Anyone reading the thread about lack of beer at the Jug should be assured this is a very temporary state and there will be no shortage for the gathering in fact Syd will have several barrels ready just in case we get some heavy drinkers in. Perhaps we should order a few more just in case!!!Not that I'm casting any nasturtiums...

As we speak there are loud knocking noises coming from the garage. It is my husband john, feverishly working away, as he has done for the passed 24 hours, fitting a back seat/bed to the VW Devon 1972. Oh, it is with gladness that I realise that that length of chain and the handcuffs have finally come in useful. Another 6 hours and I will pass him his second bowl of gruel and maybe the odd chewed bone that the dog has finished with. Damn! the knocking has stopped, I must go now, baseball bat in hand, to make sure he continues with the good work! (Actually, I am posting this thread to let Les know that we should be ok to give him a lift as we now have the means!!!

Jane, I think Syd should order SEVERAL more barrels of beer and cider for the weekend as I will be camping(so please save me a space) and will not have to drive home every night. I'll have about 5 months drinking to catch up on in the space of a weekend, you can all help me of course, but I do like a lot of cider, n I'm one hell of a drinker when I get going!! ;)

Just over four weeks to go everyone! Please can I have volunteers to clear up the hall after the ceilidh. If we all get involved it shouldn't take very long at all.

Hi all.
I'm negotiating with King as to whether we can come or not. He is warming to the idea (it takes a while to trickle the idea into his head.....).
Will let you know for sure as soon as I know. - But things are looking hopeful as King remarked the other day that Hammerite had better get practicing harder on the uke banjo that Bill procured for her after Llanstock....
It would be lovely to see everyone - so I'm X-ing my fingers hard.
We'd be camping, so we need a space if possible. I'm afraid its a big bell tent, so we'd need an area of about 13 foot diameter - but if no space then we'll improvise.

This really is going to be some 'DO' If everyone that says they are does come we should have over fifty Mudcatters and partners. Althought the Jug is not a big pub we will have full use of both bars and the dining room and the marquee in the beer garden so there will be plenty of places to go to sing or play . There will be an elastic programme for the weekend but at the end of the day it will be what YOU make it (yes you with the beard! and you with the fancy trousers!)There will be music sessions, there will be singarounds, and everything inbetween including belly dancing, the custard workshop and other things we will make up just for the hell of it! So if you haven't already decided to come decide NOW!

BTW I have let Val know that people are generally interested in the idea of cooked breakfasts but haven't actually given her names and numbers but there will be plenty for any that want. Other meals will also be available and we still plan to have a barbeque on Saturday evening which Val and Syd are organising so no need to bring anything for that. It will be about £5 per head to include all meat salads bread etc. (less for kids but haven't got final figures worked out with Val yet) If the weather should prove unkind there will be a marquee so we can keep dry!

I find a cooked breakfast essential to sop up all the alcohol from the night before so we can start again.....deep joy!!

Yummie. Barbequed heads £5 each. What are we doing with the rest of the meat?

But I'm not going on the top of the cake. I might be versatile but I'm not decorative.

Your fingers have been drinking, Mrs Duck.... :0)

Where did Syd move the gate to, and why? Do we want it? Is it to pen micca in when he's had too much cider? Or to make Eric feel at home? :0)

Yes Micca, you certainly do!
Geordie - he put the gate in the fence, a useful location, I think! The answer to ALL Noreen's other questions was YES!

Well with 80 gallons I'm ok, but what are the rest of you going to drink? John

Syd's told Sue that he will take all the brew but even though he's used to Mudcats he was being very dubious about the fact we could get through 5 barrels. The Badger did some sums and worked out it was only about 18 pints each for the weekend.

Don't forget to bring some sort of a container as a 'carry out' so you can take some to the ceilidh!

I've just realised that if £5 is too much for a barbequed head, kids will be much cheaper. Mind you, I'm not sure that I can eat a full one!

What I actually wanted, though, was some confirmation that Syd might have an Irish Whiskey in. I seem to remember that he doesn't usually, although, of course, I could be wrong. So many pubs, so many pubs...

Not sure about that, Les. I thought I had had Jamesons there but could be wrong. I'll check next time I'm there.
