Subject: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Tig Date: 12 May 01 - 04:51 AM I was with Mrs Duck at the Jug last night and we were talking about next weekend and how many caravans, tents etc will be there. There is only a limited amount of space on Syds field (tiny) and beergarden (even smaller!) so PLEASE let her know if and when you are coming and what sort of space you will need so we can fit the jigsaw together. The pony needs the field until Friday and that is where the caravans are supposed to be going! Otherwise things are looking good. |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 12 May 01 - 08:47 AM Have emailed Mrs D. Will bring trailer tent but don't want to spend too much time there. Nah, I wont give the punch line. Sure you can figure it out....;-) DtG |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 May 01 - 01:32 PM Thanks Tig I was about to post a similar thread myself. DON'T PANIC everyone if you have already said in the thread that you are coming that has been noted and manu people have sent me personal messages with space requirements regarding tents etc. We were in the garden last night and we reckon that the field will hold about seven vans down one side and another two possibly three on the gate side. We are tucking ourselves into a rocky corner of the beer garden on Wednesday night where we won't disturb anyone but as Tig said, the field will only be available from Friday as the pony is still using it until then! Larger trailer tents will probably be in the field with the vans and smaller ones in the beer garden. I will be in the pub, the sun will be in the sky, god will be in his heaven and all will be right with the world! Yours not panicking at all Jane |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: wysiwyg Date: 13 May 01 - 01:16 PM Jane, Have a SUPERB time! Wish I could be there! I thought this was a thread for "Have you told Mrs. Duck about [gossip gossip gossip]?"! Or, "Have you told Mrs. Duck how lovely she looks in the moonlight?" So here's all the gossip: [pskdjdhf hjftyrt uhyytfg!] And BTW, you look lovely in the moonlight! ~Susan |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Linda Kelly Date: 13 May 01 - 01:48 PM On our way back from Holmfirth Folk festival (Luvverly!) we did a scenic detour via the Jug in order to ascertain certain key requirements for next week i.e. What's the beer like? and are the locals friendly? Very easy to find and the locals are very friendly. Had a good chat with the horse who is bloody put out about having to shift but I've promised him a Sam Pirt C.D. which will shut him up for a while. Hope the weather is glorious because I have managed to get a sunburn on one arm and not the other and need to even things out over the coming weekend. |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: mandomad Date: 13 May 01 - 06:31 PM Jingle and I (mandomad) are planning to call for a while on the Saturday, our first visit to the Jug. We won't be staying all night, so we will not need anywhere to kip. We look forward to meeting some Catters and perhaps a bit of a play, but we'll play it by ear. See you then. Tony and Angie. |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: BanjoRay Date: 13 May 01 - 07:53 PM I won't be needing anywhere to sleep, as it now looks as if I'll only be able to come for part of Saturday. Cheers |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Bagpuss Date: 14 May 01 - 09:25 AM I'm sure I mentioned I would be coming in an earlier thread, but I don't see me on the list, so I must have forgotten. I'll be along on the sunday at some point, but not staying overnight. See you all then! Bagpuss |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Tig Date: 14 May 01 - 12:00 PM I thought Raggy Tash was coming, or is that only for the Saturday? It looks as though it should be fun. Don't forget your carryout jug if you are going to the ceilidh 'cos it's about a 10 minute walk to get another pint. |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 14 May 01 - 12:53 PM Sorry Bagpuss you had said you were coming but then said you thought it was a wedding that weekend. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Raggytash did say he might call in but nothing definite and I don't think he intended to stop over. If I've got that wrong Nick let me know. |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: John Routledge Date: 14 May 01 - 02:35 PM Mrs Duck My caravan is not shy and does not mind being squeezed up beside other caravans. However the drivers skills are such that manhandling may be required for fine tuning the final position. Mrs Broons help in pushing other 'vans offered in return - and my help also. Things are looking very exciting. Thanks for all your efforts. Cheers GB |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: GUEST,raggytash Date: 14 May 01 - 02:52 PM Yes me and the Wombat are coming, together with the small evil one, (not that small anymore) but at this point have not discussed how when and where, probably just for the Saturday, much depends on the atitude of the Bank Manager, she who MUST be obeyed. |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Les from Hull Date: 15 May 01 - 01:36 PM And where, Tash, are your apostrophes? Don't you know that I am a fully-paid-up Horseman of the Apostrophe? Actually I needed to know if I was drafted in the Mudcat Ceilidh Band and if so on what instruments (etc) were needed. I don't have any mics or pa, but I could plug in on bass or bouzouki. Les |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: JeZeBeL Date: 15 May 01 - 01:47 PM I still can't believe you did that Mrs.Duck. I think it must have been the highlite of moor and coast. Shame noone was stood outside the food tent to laugh at you doing it!! Will Natasha be making an appearance this weekend? Or does she think she'll hate me cos I know her mother? Ickle Dorrit - were you at holmfirth? I still don't know who you are, but I was there. If you saw some strange lass in flowing purple skirts following Sam Pirt and Ian Stephenson around all weekend, well that was me. (I didn't know anyone, well a few people. But I was hiding from that Joey from 422, he scares me, he never smiles!!) When can I pitch my tent in the beer garden Mrs.Duck? Friday morning? I won't be able to make it on wednesday as I have to save my money for the drinking antics this weekend!! Well this'll make 3 festivals in the space of the last three weeks, then it's hexham next weekend. Tyhen I think I've got a break till Beverley!! Take care everyone. Can't wait to meet you all!!

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 15 May 01 - 01:52 PM The line up at the moment is Bill on banjo, Ian Stephenson on guitar, Skipjack on accordeon and Noreen on keyboards. Anyone (even you Les!)is welcome to join the band-space permitting and I gather there is adequate amplification. I suggest that you have a word with Bill about what instruments are needed (bouzouki would be nice) Jane |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Noreen Date: 15 May 01 - 04:33 PM Ah, but Bill will be calling, Mrs Duck, for only the second time in his long career, so we need another banjo player! (Never thought I'd hear myself say such a thing...) Les, I'd suggest you bring everything and see what happens! And if anyone else wants to take a turn on keyboards, feel free; I'm only the default player and anyway I'd like to have a dance too! Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Linda Kelly Date: 15 May 01 - 05:15 PM Jez I was indeed at holmfirth mainly in the Elephant & Castle although I didn't sing that much -hope to make up for it at the weekend. |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: bill\sables Date: 15 May 01 - 06:35 PM Noreen I will not be calling this weekend We have got Barry Evans (Known locally as Evans the Dance) as caller. Les a bass would be handy. I think Ian Stephenson will be playing melodeon. leave it to just happen. Bill |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Noreen Date: 15 May 01 - 06:47 PM Sounds good to me, Bill. Are you bringing a keyboard, BTW?? :0) (I remember Barry Evans- he was the cute one from Doctor in the House, wasn't he? Versatile chap.) |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: bill\sables Date: 15 May 01 - 07:18 PM I will bring a keyboard just for you Noreen. We would not be able to get that Grand piano from the Pride of Rotterdam into the hall |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Noreen Date: 15 May 01 - 07:53 PM Thanks Bill. It was pretty well fixed down too.... :0) |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 16 May 01 - 07:32 AM Not in my wildest dreams could I describe this Barry Evans as the cute one!!! Tents in the beer garden anytime Friday Emma. Caravans seem to be breeding so one or two may have to go in the garden too but if we are using the whole field and don't mind getting cosy we should be ok. BTW cars will need to be parked in the car park or on the road as there will not be space on the field. Thanks Jane |

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: mytoycar Date: 16 May 01 - 11:29 AM les, I am lazy. and the apostraphe is a thing of the past to us teenagers who r used to txt msaging so ner... And MOTHER i am as you know dislexic and there isnt a spell check if you look xx Emma I am looking forward to meeting you, if I disliked people my mother knew, I would definatly not be appearing on saturday to say hello to everyone, who of most I am freinds with, although its usually the other way round.

Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Tig Date: 16 May 01 - 12:06 PM If Prew is going over for Saturday I wonder if Firecat is planning an attendance, she was unsure when I spoke to the lump in the bed! |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 16 May 01 - 12:50 PM That would be good. See you Friday Baz and all the others. I am heading to the Jug tonight and will give Syd a list of those who have told me they are coming and they will get first grabs for space. I'm sorry but if you turn up unannounced you may have to take pot luck!! Mrs.Duck ruffling her feathers |
|
Subject: RE: Have you told Mrs Duck? From: mytoycar Date: 16 May 01 - 05:02 PM Well tig Im only going to be down on saturday, but if firecat were to decide to come Im sure that she and i have a lot of catching up to do seens as we havent seen each other in a long while |
