Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 03 Feb 05 - 01:04 PM We are on school holidays then so if needed could get down earlier and help set up. If you need help Thursday morning does this mean we could arrive Wednesday night? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 03 Feb 05 - 01:10 PM Oi ! I wanted to be the hundredth message, 'smy festival!! Any road oop, looks like a conspire arse to get Kath to Miskin. Keep up the good work. Meanwhile I've updated the website with a fuller guest list there are still a couple of names to add when confirmed but it all seems to be turning out nice again. A few advance ticket orders would mean we could afford to buy food to feed you all. Hmmm, drink?????? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Leraud Date: 03 Feb 05 - 02:07 PM Can someone please tell me what the shower/loo facilities are like on the campsite? Ta. Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Morticia Date: 03 Feb 05 - 07:02 PM the showers can be eccentric, Lynne but usually warm......lots of loos and only a short walk |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Splott Man Date: 04 Feb 05 - 03:55 AM Mrs Duck, If you came Wedneday evening you could all come to Llantrisant Folk Club (special family rate) to see RATTLE ON THE STOVEPIPE (Dave Arthur, Pete Cooper and Chris Moreton). We are child-friendly - even yours (I built up a tolerance at Whitby) - sorry I meant we are Geoff-friendly. :-) Best regards Splott Man |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Dave Earl Date: 04 Feb 05 - 04:57 AM Cats What a bummer! Elizabeth and I live in Brighton (just down the london Road from the Unison offices). We know that if the trains are going to be difficult it will be on a Bank Holiday weekend We shall be at Miskin this year but you must look us up when you next have a conference or whatever in Brighton (I seem to recall that Jon turned up at a singaround 3/4 years ago when he was down/up for something. JudeL was also in town came to the singaround too. Dave |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 04 Feb 05 - 07:28 AM We're hoping to arrive Thursday so could help with setting up on Friday if you want? Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 04 Feb 05 - 12:10 PM Hello each, thanks for all the messages/enquiries etc. I try to answer them all by PMs. BUT my life would be a lot easier if you could use my email address andy@miskinfolk.co.uk. My outlook express is set up to file things in the right place all by itself and I can keep a proper record. I work from two bases 150 miles apart and outlook does all the forwarding for me. Thanks chaps and chappeses. Andy |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 04 Feb 05 - 12:28 PM Well Monsieur Splott much as I would love to inflict my children ( not to mention my husband) on you for an extra day it looks like we won't be getting there until Thursday lunchtime as the campsite is not available until then but thanks for the thought! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Dave Earl Date: 05 Feb 05 - 03:10 AM Cat, After Miskin we are going over to stay with Gervase and Mary Jane for a few days so won't be back until April 1. There is a singaround (home for waifs and strays) in the Railway, Ditchling Rise on Wednesdays and a similar thing in the Jolly Brewer Ditchling Road on Sundays (same people as Wed so same style). Other than that you will need to travel to Lewes or Seaford on Thursday and Friday respectively. Ther is a website with all this on it but I am at work and don't have the URL at present. Dave |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Cats Date: 05 Feb 05 - 07:10 PM Thanks, Dave. I've taken up Cllr on his offer of a lift to Bristol which means...... (drum roll here) I'll be at Miskin until Sunday afternoon...yippee!!!! So, There will be a Story Walk and Daniel's Band will have a female voice and, if you are very lucky, I might just sing a couple of times elsewhere too. Thanks Cllr for your generous offer... we can sing together now!! Thanks Phot, but Brighton is a hell of a way, even with your V8 engine..... but we could all go for a trip to Bristol in it perhaps. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: GUEST,Guest Date: 05 Feb 05 - 08:59 PM And mudcat has become.... A railway timetable and journey planner!!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Cats Date: 06 Feb 05 - 04:27 AM It may have done in this instance but it also just goes to show the kind and generous side of the folk world that has been a very special part of my life for over 30 years. We are very lucky to have friends like this. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 06 Feb 05 - 09:47 AM Just thought I'd mention....Website updated with a fairly accurate guest list. Prices etc same as last year, but might be an idea to book a ticket!! www.miskinfolk.co.uk Stewards still needed of course. Andy ( roll on Sidmouth !!) |

Anyone fancy joining me for the semi-chori? (PM me, I'll make the words available!) Nigel |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Feb 05 - 07:30 AM Well this is the next thing on my festival calendar now we've passed the Reunion. What about the rest of you?? I'm really looking forward to it....four days this year instead of the two we managed last year. See you all there? Love LYnne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Dave Earl Date: 22 Feb 05 - 08:40 AM And it's next on my list too. Just need to make up my mind as to whether to bring sleeping bags or an airbed and duvet. But then I suppose sleep is not what it is about. Looking forward to seeing a lot of mates (from MBS and elsewhere) Can hardly wait. The anticipation is spoilt by the fact that I have to work nearly every day between now and then in order to get the time off. Ho hum!! Dave |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Feb 05 - 09:32 AM Oh but Dave! Think how much more you will appreciate the break when you get to it!! Seeing how early in the year it is this time, I'd bring TWO duvets! Love Lynne |
