Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: MBSLynne Date: 07 Oct 05 - 05:54 AM 20 somethingth of November. We will probably be there..... Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Mr Happy Date: 07 Oct 05 - 06:02 AM http://www.bedworth-festival.info/ I note from website that this year's event is at the Rugby Club. It's stated that there'll be spots for campervans & caravans but doesn't mention tents. Anyone know if there'll be anywhere available for tent camping? |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Moses Date: 07 Oct 05 - 06:45 AM Planning to go for the Saturday only. Nothing would induce me to do indoor camping in the scout hut again! |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Chris Green Date: 07 Oct 05 - 06:50 AM As far as I know there's nowhere for tent camping but you can always ask. Malc a reasonable sort of bloke and the contact details are on the festival website! Indoor camping's available but it's recommended you book asap as there's limited space. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Splott Man Date: 10 Oct 05 - 03:54 AM Pat Spoons and I will be there, don't know if she'll be wearing THAT dress though. Splott Man |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: George Papavgeris Date: 10 Oct 05 - 04:39 AM La Inglesa and I will be there. Saturday/Sunday for certain - not sure about Friday yet. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: daughter Date: 10 Oct 05 - 04:57 AM Splott, THAT dress should become a thing of legend! x |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST,vic at work Date: 10 Oct 05 - 05:15 AM I will be there with Young no more. Fortunately I live close enough for camping not to be an issue. www.youngnomore.free-online.co.uk Most likely be there all weekend, come and join us in the Sing around,the rendition of Brave Wolfe last year was awesome, we are looking for even better this year. Vic. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Mo the caller Date: 10 Oct 05 - 07:05 AM Me. I'm going What fool wants to sleep in a tent at the end of November? Looking forward to the Sunday Panto. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST Date: 10 Oct 05 - 09:49 AM "Nothing would induce me to do indoor camping in the scout hut again!" Oh dear, Moses. Bit on the Side's all-night concert in the Scout Hut wasn't that bad, was it? |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Herga Kitty Date: 10 Oct 05 - 02:51 PM We've booked tickets and campervan space at the Rugby Club. Kitty |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 10 Oct 05 - 05:39 PM Definitely Me Too! Will post details of the now traditional MudGather as soon as Malc fixes a time & place. Start collecting / arranging your chocolate Now!!! But watch out for EmmaB..... |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Snuffy Date: 10 Oct 05 - 08:24 PM Is it likely to be something like the same place and time as last year, Guru? |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 11 Oct 05 - 08:07 AM Sounds like the same place Snuffy (what a lovely room that is!), just not sure about the time. Was it Saturday afternoon last year? That seems like a good time to me... Hopefully MiLady Morticia will be hosting again & I'd like to organise a MudRaffle if Malc is agreeable, but I'd need o confirm that first, so hang onto your prizes for the moment. BTW, we raised £83 for the MudCat at Banbury last weekend, thanks everyone! |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Snuffy Date: 11 Oct 05 - 09:02 AM I remember it being Saturday afternoon, was it about 4pm? After Lynne Heraud & Pat Turner's singaround, and before Brian Rogers' ? |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: alanww Date: 11 Oct 05 - 02:54 PM Hello to all the Friends I haven't seen since last weekend at Banbury FF. Missing you already! I will be at Bedworth FF with the Shakespeare Mummers, as last year. We will be mummimg on the Friday evening, presumably during the intervals of the concert(s) and the ceilidh. Then I should be free for the rest of the weekend. The other mummers bores out there will undoubtedly be fascinated to hear that we will probably be performing the version of the Broadway Mummers Play from Worcestershire, which was collected by Miss Antionette Taylor and published in the American Folklore Journal XXII (1909)! I will undoubtedly look in on a singaround or three during the Saturday. So see many of you then. "Dancing and singing, bell ringing!" Alan |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: webfolk Date: 11 Oct 05 - 03:04 PM this is all woosh (over my head) to me but I will be there with Tim... Bit on the Side (check out Wilkinsons for commemorative crockery) Geoff - webfolk |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST,Observer Date: 11 Oct 05 - 04:17 PM This is a quote taken from the Bed'uth Festival October news letter. "Mudcatters Meet After last years great meet we are again hosting a mudcatters session (for those uninitiated a sort of singing and chocolate eating session!) – it's certainly not exclusive to catters. It will take place in the upstairs room of The White Horse Saturday teatime, before the turning on of the Christmas lights ceremony. (Someone better remind me to hand over the tin of choccies this year – then again I really enjoyed eating them the week after the festival last year!)" Hope it helps. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 11 Oct 05 - 05:48 PM Thank you GUEST, Observer!! That definitely helps *grin* Fantastic news that Malc is once again serious about chocolate this year, lets hope we manage to remind him in time for the Gather! But of course the tin of Chocolates from Malc at Banbury was Very Welcome |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST Date: 13 Oct 05 - 04:48 AM refresh |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST,CamoJohn Date: 13 Oct 05 - 07:13 AM Sounds good. Will have a look at my Calendar. CamoJohn. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Morticia Date: 13 Oct 05 - 07:55 AM will have to hand my orgamandisers 'at to someone else this year, I'm afraid.......any takers? |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST,muppitz@work Date: 13 Oct 05 - 08:38 AM The last discussion with mother said we were going, but if I pass my driving test next Friday I'll be coming with, or without her. Very much doubt we'll do indoor camping, we've had enough bad experiences with that in the past! Ah well, we slept in the car at Banbury, so I'm sure we can put up with it again! muppitz x |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 13 Oct 05 - 11:08 AM Well, if no-one else takes the Hat challenge, then you'll be stuck with me again. It ain't so difficult to blow up a Cat & pass it around.... |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Malc Bedworth Date: 20 Oct 05 - 05:49 PM Hi all, just looking through the thread and hope I can give some useful info - TENTS - not really allowed ...... but we've got at least 3 already, the Rugby Club seem OK about it (£4 for the week-end 3pm Friday to 8pm Sunday)but MUST be booked in advance as space is strictly limited CARAVANS & CAMPERVANS - as above almost full, we are going to try and negotiate some further space, but there is a match on on the Saturday and there needs to be somewhere for the players to park (and to play!) CATTERS MEET - still looking at times, but similar timing to last year and the same excellent venue. INDOOR CAMPING - in view of the Rugby Club facility there will be much more space and comfort in the Scout Hut this year. I got in trouble last year when someone asked me what we did when it got full and I said "start another layer" - no sense of humour some people - then again! Keep the thread going and feel free to ask questions, I'll drop in and answer what I can. Cheers Malc. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Andy Jackson Date: 20 Oct 05 - 05:54 PM Eyelander and myself will be there. We are bedworth virgins so be gentle with us!! |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: JudeL Date: 20 Oct 05 - 07:05 PM Soupdragon & I will also be there. Cheers Jude |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 21 Oct 05 - 05:07 AM Snuffy has graciously stepped in to fill the Lovely Morticia's shoes by passing the Cat around at the Gather this year. I'll be an able (or unable) assistant - without cocktail frock though... |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: webfolk Date: 21 Oct 05 - 05:54 AM woo hoo! we'd all love to see you without a cocktail frock!!! geoff - webfolk - bit on the side |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: MBSLynne Date: 21 Oct 05 - 07:05 AM Same as Banbury Hils...nothing but stockings and a Big Smile? Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 21 Oct 05 - 03:18 PM Hmmm, don't all run away at once..... LOL |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Morticia Date: 22 Oct 05 - 05:38 AM he can't have my shoes, they're the only pair I own!!! He prolly wouldn't mind a hand though, any more volunteers? |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 22 Oct 05 - 05:40 AM No problem Morti, Snuffy & I are sharing but we'll let you keep your shoes! |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Chris Green Date: 22 Oct 05 - 08:59 AM Anyone know if the delightful French market with its Provencal potatoes of niceness will be in town this year? They'd sold out by the time I got there last year! :( |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: mandotim Date: 22 Oct 05 - 09:55 AM Webfolk and I are well aware that the megaspuds Francais ran out last year; we ate most of them, hahahahahaha! More to the point; will there be somewhere to get a meal in Bedduth on a Friday night, when the town appears to be shut? Fine greasy fry up in the covered market on Saturday morning though... Tim from Bit on the Side |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Oct 05 - 10:38 AM Well they were also there the year before Chris, so I think it's a fair bet it will be there again. Get in early this time! I don't want to be feeding Jude bits of chicken like a baby bird again!! Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Malc Bedworth Date: 22 Oct 05 - 10:52 AM Ello! Continental Market is on Saturday again. Catering should be quite exceptional (certainly exceptional for Bedworth!) on the Saturday this year as the refurbished Civic Hall now has excellent facilities and will be doing breakfasts, snacks, and even full dinners/evening meals, plus a real ale bar, and can cater for up to 200 people at a time! Catering in the Civic Hall friday is only until early evening, but if you're happy with "cheap and cheerful" there's always Wetherspoons, just down from the Liberal Club (or the Chinese or the Chippy) Malc. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: mandotim Date: 22 Oct 05 - 01:31 PM Thanks for the info Malc; the market was great last year. Civic Hall sounds like a good bet too. Won't be using Wetherspoons at any price; still haven't forgiven them for closing the Wheatsheaf in Stoke to musicians. Another fine venue down the tubes. Tim from Bit on the Side |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Chris Green Date: 22 Oct 05 - 06:59 PM YAAAAYYYYY!!!! Ahem. Sorry. Other bands may choose sex and drugs as their vice, but for us food does the trick every time! |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: muppitz Date: 23 Oct 05 - 04:58 AM I agree, food is the.... well, food of the gods! I passed, so I WILL be there!!!! (See my "@work" post above if you're confused!!) muppitz x |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 23 Oct 05 - 05:11 AM Congratulation Muppitz!!!!! Good to hear that Vice is alive & well & living in Musicians.... |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: MuddleC Date: 23 Oct 05 - 06:46 AM I will be there |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Malc Bedworth Date: 29 Oct 05 - 05:51 AM Hi All, Just a line to say the "Meet" is now set in the programme 4.30 - 6.00pm in the Upstairs Lounge of the White Horse. (The rest of the programme shoud be on the web site by mid week). Just for info the Rugby Club Caravan site is now full, but there is plenty of Indoor Camping still available. Cheers Malc. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 29 Oct 05 - 07:35 AM Excellent, thanks Malc! Hopefully that shouldn't clash with too much. Mind you, that is only 1 1/2 hours, we'll have to do some fast singing!!! |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Scooby Doo Date: 29 Oct 05 - 10:35 AM Sorry cant make it stuck in hospital i am afraid.But i will be thinking of all my friends past and present. Yas. |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Malc Bedworth Date: 29 Oct 05 - 02:53 PM Hi Hil, It doesn't have to finish at 6pm - next event (Evening Singaround) isn't till 7.30, so I can shedule it for 2 hours (or 2 and a half) if you want? Let me know asap if you want me to extend it, it will not be a problem - I just thought some people may want to eat! Malc |
Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: My guru always said Date: 29 Oct 05 - 03:11 PM That's brill news Malc, Thanks! We'll keep it going for as long as possible - if Snuffy fades out, then I'll fade in! 2 1/2 hours will be Fab, takes us to 7pm & gives us a chance to get around the room once. Then there'll be enough time for us to clear up all the chocolate wrappers (that IS eating isn't it?) before the next event at 7.30pm. *hint, hint* |
