I will be there (can't wait !), as will Wild Flying Dove----we shall be staying on the Salcombe Regis campsite with the caravan,as I am getting too old for all the noise on the Festival campsite ! Obviously , we hope to see Leadfingers and others during the week (especially Sue the Borderer and numerous other Herbaceous Borderers !), and will most certainly be in The Bedford and the York & Faulkner as much as possible, although we are treating it as our "Summer Holiday" this year, and may well have a day or two off just to visit Beer, or Exmouth, or wherever !!

Great Western Morris man behind the bar and drinking lemonade? Not the Great Western Morris I knew!!

Nearest they ever came to a bar was in front and the nearest to a lemon was when it was cut up and placed on top of gin and tonic......

Dave from Sheffield City Morris (who in fairness have also slowed down a little).

I should clarify that the birthdays are not my own - they belong to other people. :)

Sorry Ruth I read that as "I could be more debauched than usual".

Then there's the gin and tonic party. I shall unfortunately be strutting my stuff in Canada and miss all this including the sight of Ruth compering.

Date: 13 Jul 08 - 06:00 PM

I shall be there, as I've said in about three threads referring to the festival this year! Can someone space some time to link them all together?

Ok I'll keep a welcome in my trailer in the Blackmore Gardens for 'Cats who would like to come for a lemonade and sign in.

Lemonade has gone up this year, i'm really sorry to say. I've decided that if you can prove you are a mudcat member, and tell me your mudcat name along with "i claim my mudcat lemonade" you can have a reduction. To you it will be £1. I'm also selling it in bottles at £1.50 with a refill of just £1.

I'm really looking forward to the fest, as usual, even tho the pitch fee has gone up, yet again! Not fair really cos so has the price of lemons and the cost of fuel.

I'll get a sheet printed out.

just home from the Tewkesbury Battle. Pics in here in 'pics' strangely enough!

Hope this is the right place. The program has wrongly listed my guitar workshops on Monday and Tuesday as 'Masterclasses'. Very flattering but completely misleading! I will be doing my 'General Guitar Workshop' which is for EVERYONE regardless of ability. The same format as was when I used to do it four or five years back. Please don't be put off. Its fun, honest!

But it's him that needs to be fit NOT his relatives.

Hi Phil,

My boyfriend helps to put together the festival newsletter, so I'll make sure he knows, and the correction can go into the newsletter at the beginning of the week.

And I'm MCing your concert on Friday night - see you there! Wheeeee!

The Bard - you're up for a pub crawl anytime!! (Hope you got back form Ely ok. Thanks for the port!).

Can't wait for Sidders to start - less than a month and counting!!!!

I'll be there from the Friday, along with Dilligaf. We are both working in The Manor Pavillion (come and say hello). Also, I'll be drumming for Herbaceous Border and Dilligaf will be dancing with them.

Looking forward to some serious sessions.

Miss Lemon - I will certainly be claiming my Mudcat Lemonade discount as I now have my new Mudcat badges (thanks Tig).

Safe journey there ladies and gents - see you during the week!!!

Kev :-)

Hey I lost my Mudcat badge at Cheltenham Festival. Can anyone get me another and bring it to Sidmouth. I'll be there from Sunday onwards. Or Broadstairs. Be there from the Monday. There's a beer in it for someone.
