I think putting in a filler at 299 was cheating. I was also watching but had to go out singing as it is paddy's night.

Sorry to hear you won't be there, Lucy. Hope you're soon up and about again.

So who's going to keep us breakfast boys in order??

Jillie told me to get myself onto mudcat pronto and beg for victims/volunteers - but I see Miskin Man has beaten me to it. However, as a mudcat virgin, (even though a MBS and its my 2nd Miskin,) it's a bit scary, so its taken me a day or two!

Yes, it was I - I'm the one who asked Andy if we could run a scratch Border side at Miskin (as an offshoot of Herbaceous Border which creates mayhem at Sidmouth)So - bring your dancing shoes - and, if you dance already, your sticks and raggies etc (and even spares if you have them)

ANYONE is welcome - whether or not you've ever danced before. And we'll need some musicians too. Not sure quite when and where it will be, but I'll keep you posted. It would be great to know who might be interested - so do say 'hi'.

And thanks, Andy, for everything, including beating me to it. I think you deserve the 300.

Sue

PS Mudcat virginity about to be lost - so you can add my name to the list.

Sue,

Andy only said impromptu Morris: he never mentioned specific brands such as Border. What about us Cotswold types? :-)) And will there be any swordies or cloggies?

Only a week now

Well done Hawker, let's start planning next year now. Morris workshops, mixed morris, Longsword, Border, Cotswold. Let's have some dance back at Miskin. And I only popped that note in to start the Baldricks rolling. Well done Sue for providing the trigger.

I'm up for anything! I only put Border cos that's the only thing I've got a hope of 'organising' (though I don't think that's the right word for it!!!) I've got some spare sticks, too, but if you want hankies you'll have to bring your own.

Did I put the wrong date when I booked the good weather? No, it's going to last, and what a great weekend to get the tent out, blow away the cobwebs and get in the Miskin Mood. Just to guarantee good weather I've spent today servicing two gas heaters!! ( oh Baldrics!)

I`m just checking out Linda`S new (well second hand - at least 5 years old) laptop so thought I`d drop in to say I`m looking forward to seeing everyone. There`s no point in me bringing a guitar this year but I can still sing unacc. Perhaps we could have a competition to find a new instrument that I can play with only one hand !

That's the only good thing about your stroke and my stroke - We may be bruised and battered, but at least we're still HERE!

HELP, just a shot in the dark here. I have been given an old till to help keep some order at Miskin but I can't get in!!!!!
Its a Casio CE 4515 and it needs the clerk number entered before it will work. Anybody got any suggestions? Can I reset to factory presets by removing battery back up or anything like that? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Andy

From my experience of tills, any clerk number should do. Usually there's a button marked 'clerk id' or similar, you press that enter a number such as 1 and then press it again. Not sure about your particular brand of till though

Looks like we'll manage to get through the weekend somehow then, parties in tents notwithstanding *grin*

Don't forget the RAFFLE!!! Nip out & pick up an Egg or something (booze or booby) to donate. I've seen eggs at 3 for £4.00 at Sainsburys so there's no excuse - donate 1, eat 2 - no problem! Don't go mad, I already have (never a truer word spoken, eh?). My donation may just be the top prize - a Fabulous Choc Express Egg that I couldn't justify buying for myself......

Pass prizes to me on arrival & I'll get them stored away from temptation somewhere. If you can't find me (in the bar possibly - well, there's the Grand Eliminator to think about), I'm sure that Andy won't mind if you leave them at 'reception' for me. Hoping to put up draw results on Easter Sunday, probably around lunchtime!

And of course, bring your pennies for the raffle tickets that I'll be selling frantically. If anyone feels they can help out, please PM me before Friday lunchtime!
