Who would be interested in a Yorkshire Folk Gathering in May (hopefully 20th). The higher the numbers the better the deal I can cut with pub owners. Hoping to get use of a function room if we promise to eat at least one meal. Pub has field and real ale. A simple hands up at this stage should give me enough info to take to landlord :-)

As Shepley is also the 20th and Holmfirth the 6th a better date would be the 13th. So 13th May any interested :-)

I really enjoyed the weekends we used to have. Meeting other Mudcatters was always a pleasure.

I hope that I can make it.

13th or 20th good for me if it doesn't clash with Doncaster.

Liz you are correct, Shepley show as a week later!!

So that being polite has made a mess of Doncaster and left the previous week free!

Some ppl are going to be perplexed

Thanks, Liz

Well we are pencilled in to the pub for the 13th. Cost of camping will be £4 per night for caravans or £2 a night for a tent regardless of number of occupants. May be room for negotiation but seems fair enough. All at discussion stage at moment but landlady said may be able to do breakfasts if enough takers. Sorry if it clashes with something but I suppose it is inevitable sometimes.

Is this likely to be same sort of part of the world as previously ie not a million miles from Selby? If I'm about no doubt come and have a sing or play depending what sort of thing it is.

Be nicer if it was a slightly more friendly response from the locals than the last one I came to.

Subject: RE: Possible Yorkshire Folk Gathering

It will be closer to Wakefield Nick. Can't speak for the locals although they seem a good crowd. We will also have use of the function room so whilst welcoming friendly outsiders would have the right to ask them to politely shut up or ship out :)

There's an outside possibility that we might be able to do a day trip up from Newark on the Saturday, if it fits in with the rest of the stuff that Kendall wants to do when we come over in May.

Have to check with our dog sitter tomorrow but our diary is clear and we're really looking forward to it. Really missed it the last couple of years.

I'm HOPING to be out of the wheelchair by then (it will have been a whole year!) but if not, what's the deal with wheelchir access please?

If you need help, let us know.

Mally there is an EFDSS date listing for Doncaster May 20th weekend not March, not sure about Ukrainian club either

I am told that Doncaster will be near the Racecourse and that there will be camping/camper space with a club house for sessions etc 2011

Need Sue Knowles to enlighten here! As i think there is a bit more to follow

Doncaster used to be early in the year perhaps they've changed it. Looking forward to it, hopefully I've booked a small camping place for myself and Dolly (v small campervan)

The pub is the White Horse Old Sharlston WF4 1EP and date is 13th May. Nearest B&B is the Redbeck Motel according to my searches. We are hoping that the pub will do breakfast if there is enough interest. Also wondered whether folk might be interested in a pie and pea supper or something on the Saturday night or of course the pub does very good pub food.

Nice Choice.
Living in Hemsworth, I could walk there in around 45 minutes!!!
It may be possible to camp on the "common land", not to far away if the council allow it.
Hope to be there.

Pub has a reasonable sized field which should be plenty big enough. £2 per night tent £4 caravan all occupants included. Very easy to walk from Hemsworth.
