Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Herga Kitty Date: 04 Sep 07 - 03:06 PM It's perhaps as well that we can't all make the funeral, because there are over 200 expressions of sympathy on the other thread. At least Margery and the rest of the family will know how many people were touched by Colin's kindness. Kitty |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Mrs.Duck Date: 04 Sep 07 - 04:06 PM For those who, like me are unfamiliar with the term 'Jacob's Join' it is similar to a faith supper or as its known in Yorkshire a 'fuddle' where everyone brings food for themselves and puts it into a pol with others. Always a good idea to bring a bit more for those who may not be able to contribute. Sadly I am unlikely to get there (seems only time off for teachers allowed is for 'close relatives') but I hope Geoff and Maddie will make it. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Fran Date: 04 Sep 07 - 04:09 PM above Guest was me, my cookie had gone, I am sure Colin would have wanted a big lot of singing at his funeral, raise the roof of that Legion club. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: the lemonade lady Date: 04 Sep 07 - 05:07 PM I would really've loved to have been there, but being a friday isn't easy for me. Can someone sing one for me? Raise the rafters for him everyone. Sal |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Alio Date: 04 Sep 07 - 05:09 PM Not sure if I can get to the funeral as I've got a meeting at 1p.m. and I'm not sure if they'll be happy for me to cancel. But I really want to be there, so is it OK to go just to the Jacob's Join afterwards Theresa? Ali x |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Mrs.Duck Date: 04 Sep 07 - 05:14 PM I would also like details of the after funeral arrangements as I will try to get over after work if possible. Is there a dress code for the Crem? |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: pixieofdoom Date: 04 Sep 07 - 05:21 PM I don't think I can get there but Chris might make it. I'm sure it'll be a fine send off though Fiona x |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Morticia Date: 04 Sep 07 - 05:27 PM I wish I could make it but sadly, I have a number of meetings that day. Will try to rearrange but I know Colin would tell me my clients come first.He used to tell me he couldn't have done social work to save his life but you know what, he'd have been great at it. Sing him one for me, please. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: skipy Date: 04 Sep 07 - 05:46 PM DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP "Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that blow; I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain; I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush; I am in the graceful rush. Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I do not die." rip mate, glad I got the chance to meet you a few times, only fron an post above did I find we are connected not only by folk music but I am 55 (next week) & was also from Nelson Lancs! |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: treaties1 Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:08 PM LATE NEWS! Final sing off will now be at The New Palatine Club, 32 Norfolk Street, Nelson Lancs BB9 7FG which will be open 2pm onwards. Yes Alio late arrival more than welcome. Folkie Dave your query re Clothes is that it is optional. Col's Mum has been forewarned,(but nudity definitely not advisable) she herself will be wearing black as she hasn't got time to buy anything new Hoping to see you all to for a "song to drive sorrows away" Theresa and Eileen and Maurice |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Dave Earl Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:11 PM I do not have to work on Friday so I (and Lady Elizabeth) can get to Colne Railway Station at 11:41 which gives enough time to get to the Crematorium. We will have to leave whatever happens at The British Legion Club at teatime in order to get back to Brighton at about 01:30 on Saturday. If the opportunity presents itself I'll try to sing something for those of my Mudcat mates who are not able to get there. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: vectis Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:28 PM Sing something 'southern' for all of us Dave. Eeeh Col would have loved this... |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Dave Earl Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:35 PM Whoops Change of plan so as to have a not quite so early start. Now arriving Skipton Station at 11:24. And of course (if some kind person has a couple of seats in a car) to the Club afterwards. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Edain Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:43 PM I'll be getting into Skipton station at 12:07. Can probably walk it to the crem in time but is there anyone with space for a little on to Nelson afterwards? Also, do we have any idea how long it's going to last? (ie, should I get a day return or open return?) |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Dave Earl Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:50 PM Edain Can probably share a taxi from the station to the crem if it helps. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Edain Date: 04 Sep 07 - 06:59 PM Dave Sounds good to me. |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Dave Earl Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:06 PM OK Edain, Web searching says taxi rank near Skipton station so it should all work out. Mudcat badge on Breton Cap will identify me if you don't know what I look like. Oh and at the moment I am using a pair of crutches so I should be pretty obvious. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Edain Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:08 PM Dave I'll probably dig out my SHellback fleece. Not a member any more but it is how I first met Colin and I'm not really sure where my mudcat badge is. Edain |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Peter K Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:27 PM I shall have to clear it with my brother to stay over night in leeds, but I should be there. |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Noreen Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:39 PM Dave, you and Edain will recognise each other- I'm sure we all sang together at the Albert Dock in Liverpool (amongst other places). Hoping to get back up to Lancashire on Friday... |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Hawker Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:54 PM Will not be able to make it But I will be there in spirit. The sky here tonight is full of stars and so peaceful. I went out and had a few quiet moments during which I told Colin how much he would be missed and how loved he was. I felt totally at peace and calm, just like you do after one of his hugs. He was a special guy, someone sing him one for me at the Jacob's Join. Sending all kindest of thoughts and love to Colin's Mum. Your son did you proud 80) Much love Lucy |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: GUEST,guest Date: 05 Sep 07 - 02:58 AM What is dying? The ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'. Gone where? Gone from sight, that is all; she is just as large as when I saw her. The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when someone at my side says 'She is gone' there are others who are watching her coming and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes' and that is dying. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Dave Earl Date: 05 Sep 07 - 03:06 AM Yes Noreen. When Shellback Fleece was mentioned I guessed as much Dave (got it on the right thread this time!!!) |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: nutty Date: 05 Sep 07 - 03:17 AM I wrote this some time ago but, knowing Col, I believe it's the way he also felt ..... When my life is done And my spirit's at rest And there's nothing on earth that can save me Don't weep and don't mourn Send me off with a song And reflect on the pleasure that knowing you gave me. |
|
Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 05 Sep 07 - 04:30 AM wish I could be there to say my goodbyes but so happy that so many are going to give him the send off he deserves Colin's mum - you can be proud of the most kind and generous man who was your son. His memory will live with us through every song he sang. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: Geoff the Duck Date: 05 Sep 07 - 04:39 AM Here is a Multimap link for The New Palatine Club, 32 Norfolk Street, Nelson Lancs BB9 7FG where the Jacob's Join will be. Edain and Breton Cap - I will be coming to the funeral and it looks as though I will have room for three people in the car. I should be able to offer lifts from the crematorium out to Nelson. Depending on timimgs, I might also be able to collect from the station and save you the taxi. Send me a PM and we can sort out mobile phone numbers. Quack! Geoff. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: folk1e Date: 05 Sep 07 - 04:40 AM I am afraid that family illness will keep me away. I imagine that there will be more than a few "quiet places" round the globe where he is being remembered. And not a few smiles too! |

Subject: RE: Obit: Funeral Arrangements for Col K. R.I.P From: fiddler Date: 05 Sep 07 - 04:45 AM Sadly I'll have to join the ranks of the absent friends on Friday. My thoughts will be with Col, his family and all of you have a good sing for him. Andy |
