There, for those with serious concerns about Jacques Delors and his Europe, the Eurogathering is right here in little England, as we hold the Presidency this year.
To recap on the meanderings of the previous threads, yes it clashes with the Moron Cursed, Upton on Severn and doing things in the nuddy with Maypoles, always has and probably always will, but that is the date it happens.
The location is Barrow Upon Humber, in North Lincolnshire, which is very close to the Humber Bridge (it's the biggest bridge in Hull) and occasionally downwind of the curry ship in Hull9.
The TBC running order is:-
Friday 30th April - Mixed song and tune session in the Haven Inn, Barrow Haven, starting around 7pm and finishing pretty late.
Saturday 1st May - Possibly Cultural Tour of Hull in the morning and lunchtime (although this may happen on Sunday, as we are still trying to talk Les into coming out of retirement for one last job). If not, lunchtime and afternoon session in the Six Bells, Barrow upon Humber.
Saturday 8pm - 11.30pm Eurogathering concert in Barrow upon Humber Village Hall, featuring Cara, Punch the Horse, Colin & Karen Thompson, Hissyfits, Letty and house band of whoever the Viking can squeeze into the PA. Bill Sables is kindly compering the event, and hopefully a saleable CD will be produced to boost Mudcat funds. The customary raffle will be drawn then, so please bring as much valuable stuff as you can to increase the prize lots.
Sunday 2nd May - Lunchtime session in the Six Bells in Barrow, or the Cultural Tour. This will probably blend into the late afternoon, but there should be a break before the survivor's session on Sunday evening, again at the Six Bells.
Monday 3rd May - Public holiday in the UK. Disperse, or make prior arrangement for corpse collection.
Camping and caravanning is being marshalled by Doug Chadwick (Thanks Doug) in nearby Goxhill.
Accommodation is now fully booked locally. Floorspace at Skipjack Towers is fully booked (confirmed floor dwellers please bring sleeping bags and pyjamas).
Grub. There is an above average Chinese Takeaway in Barrow which may suit some, and next door is Colin's Bistro. Despite the comic name, it is excellent grub, but is a touch dear at what Oaklet would call 'All you can eat for £57'. Booking is advisable for Friday and Saturday nights there (PM me for number). Barton upon Humber, four miles hence, offers all the facilities of a market town, and has two fair to middling curry houses. There is also an 8 til 8 village shop, Costcutter, which may be of some use. There is one other pub in the village centre, the Royal Oak, for those seeking to avoid noisy singers and musicians. There is also a bus shelter, which is a big attraction for younger people, it seems.
A prayer chain might be a good idea for climate management, but then again, it is said that timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a raindance.
