I'll be there (bringing Fred and Binns)

Elizabeth is coming down by train with her mum.

I believe Mike Taylor is going to be over from Panama.

Mike (Cllr) Gibson, Morticia, Pixy of Doom, and Phot are coming I think.

Hope you make it Micca

There are several more who have said they will be coming on the Middlebar group webby thing.

I shall be in the downstairs bar of the Anchor by mid afternoon on Friday if anyone feels like an early pint or several.

See you there

Kitty, that would be pretty crazy even by our festival-going standards *grin*

No, we've decided that pulling the caravan up to Alcester for just one night really wasn't on however much we wanted to support them. Must admit, having not seen a flyer I'd kinda assumed that it would be a 'weekend', Stooopid Me!! Still, now I get to Reunion, excellent!!!

Ruth Archer I am told will be there.

No doubt Lizzie Cornish will be in attendance........

Date: 20 Feb 08 - 07:29 PM

Is Ruth (Joanie Crump) Archer a Middle bar person?

Not that it's an exclusive "members only" thing but I don't recall seeing her in there before.

Never mind. The more the merrier.

Dave
p.s.
Lizzie says she won't be going in to the Middle Bar but she will be geographically close - if you know what that means!!

Hi all

I'm hoping to attend the Sidmouth reunion in my camper van and am wondering where is the best place to park it overnight :-)

I stayed at the golf course at the main festival last year which worked out very well (kind suggestion of someone here) but was wondering, with the pressure off accommodation with it being winter, whether anywhere was closer.


Thanks for any help.

Rob

You're right, Breton cap - I'm not a Middle Bar person. We're staying with friends outside Sidmouth this weekend, so I think it's unlikely I will see any of you, but have a lovely time.

Once again, life has overtaken planned events and I won't be there. Have fun and have a pint and kisses on the bottom for me please.

Rob I have known the main car park in Sidmouth to house camper vans over a weekend, especially during the festival.(cost) People have also been known to park along the sea front near the York and Faulkner. If you took the road past the ford and went up the hill to the east of Sidmouth town. People also park up there during Sidmouth week. They then walk down the steps to the Ham. Hope this is helpful.

Hi All
Even though I now actually live in Alcester and there are no less than 3 great pubs within 7 minutes walk of my house(!), I shall be coming to the Sidmouth Anchor Middle Bar Reunion. How's about that for commitment!

It was a great weekend.... lovely to see (and hear) Mollie, aged 15 months, joining in the chorus.

The cape was pretty impressive too!

Sorry we couldn't be there, works being a bit of a pain at the moment. With luck we might make the Fox and Hounds, and see you all there.

Wassail! Chris

Excellent, we really enjoyed it. I think I must have been the warmest person in the room in that cape. Pics of it will be on the BS thread about Maine when Micca gets back. Now about Shaun the Sheep.....

It was a great weekend, the cape is stunning and Molly, our wee apprentice folkie has the art of 'finger in ear' down pat. Blissful.

Photos of Shaun the Sheep, as sung by Cats and MGAS would be good, too!

Lovely weekend, so glad we came *Grin*
