Spoons workshop as usual (Sunday), just in case there's a few of you who haven't learnt to play them yet.

We've been upgraded to concert spots this year (woohoo!) so I think we'd better start rehearsing soon.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

When wasn't I going?

Been to everyone so far.

Mind you I have had to repair my bodhran since leaving the second one at Llantrisant. I may have to wait till Sunday to be fully instrumentalled. See you then Splottman. I notice you and Pattie are in Somerset or is it Devon on Sat.

According to the eceilidh list they have GBh and Baz Parkes on Sat, That Shallot with Martyn Harvey on Sun, and a Scratch band under the bridge on Sat & Sun at 4.00 led by That Shallot

I do hope everyone knows that the Sat & Sun 4pm ceilidhs are likely to be running, otherwise we could be a bit thinner than thin.

Spread the word.

I will be at the evening ceilidhs, or words will be spilt over stewarding.

Sorry I shan't be there Roger, or you could have played foor Herbaceous Border as well. (We usually dance after the ceilidh under the bridge) Hope you all have a good time.

Mudgathers aren't an exact science I'm afraid Silas. It;'s generally a gathering of MudCatters (and other interested parties) and at Upton it's a programmed event with grateful thanks to the Organisers!   We meet, sing, laugh, eat chocolate, hug, drink beer, etc. etc. See you there?

So, you take chocolate as gifts for other folk then? Sound like a lot of chocolate if you are giving everyone a bit - would a packet of cadbury buttons do?

We 'share' chocolate & Cadbury Buttons would work well. Don't forget, there may be Easter eggs on sale still!

Don't forget that the organisers are starting on the Friday with a 'meet & greet' event in the museum, the following is from Bev's email:

Could you tell everyone about our birthday celebration - we are going to have a gathering from 8pm on Friday night in the museum for all involved in Upton over the years. Gill and I are doing loads of grub and the first drink will be free- then bring your own! We are expecting people to drop in mingle and then go on to what they want to do. We will try to have programmes and lots of information on what's on around and we want people just to chill!

I hope the time for the Mudgather stays the same-----Karen and I have asked Geoff to make sure we are not "stewarding" between 1600-1800.And we will try to get to the birthday bash on friday night---I want to hug Gill and eat some of her Miskin-type goodies !

Looks like we'll miss at least the early part of the Mudgather - the Shellbacks are booked to perform at 4pm (but we don't know where yet). Looking at the songlist, it looks like a 45 minute spot, so we might join you sometime around 5 for the last hour or so.

Mudgather is at the same time as the Ceilidh under the Bridge. And if I am stewarding - can't do either.

I will be at the birthday party - having been to every one & stewarded nearly all and in the early days stewarding seemed to be 100% of the time for more than one year!
