Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Eric the Viking Date: 20 May 02 - 02:47 PM Try me best to get organised, most likely travelling, not staying-HMI's in on Monday-why does the mudcat gathering happen when the Inspectors are due, even if the date has moved, do you know something I don't? May manage Friday or saturday evening at best. |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: nutty Date: 20 May 02 - 03:44 PM Should arrive Saturday am ........ Would like to partake of the buffet on Saturday evening , otherwise will look after myself foodwise. |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Geoff the Duck Date: 20 May 02 - 07:59 PM Some detailed directions for finding the Gathering :- IF you are heading NORTH up the A19 from the M62 - From the M62 you head North up the A19 towards Selby. You pass Eggborough Power Station, then appproach a bridge over the river Aire (about 4 miles north of the M62). As you approach the bridge there are road signs which say Chapel Haddlesey, Please Drive Slowly You then cross the bridge. On your right there is a car showroom - Michaels of Selby which sells Reliant Robins. Immediately beyond is a crossroads. You turn LEFT, which is signposted to West Haddlesey. You follow the road for about a mile to the George & Dragon. If you are towing a caravan, you need to look out for a Garden Centre on your right. YORKSHIRE GARDEN WORLD, is before you reach the pub. Just after the Garden Centre, on the same side, look for an opening and evidence of people. It is the next gateless gate hole after the Centre. The George & Dragon is about 100 yards further on, but there isn't much turning space for caravans beyond the pub. Best not to miss it. GtD |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Geoff the Duck Date: 20 May 02 - 08:05 PM If you are approaching from the NORTH, via Selby - Head SOUTH DOWN the A19. You pass through the village of BURN. Sout of Burn, you reach the crossroads with the Reliant Robin garage. Turn RIGHT then follow the previous directions.

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 20 May 02 - 08:07 PM Thanks for the reminder & the directions Geff & Jane, for some reason I thought it was next week! I am still hoping to go, but I might have a problem getting Saturday night off work, if so I will just visit on Saturday day time. |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Geoff the Duck Date: 20 May 02 - 08:11 PM For those with chemical toilets, there is a septic tank where the camping is going to be. We can use the septic tank for disposal, but you cannot put BLUE elsan fluid down a septic tank. The GREEN biodegradable version of chemical toilet filler is okay though. GtD! |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Geoff the Duck Date: 21 May 02 - 01:37 PM Mr Happy - it isn't really necessary to keep refreshing these threads. We are keeping the thread alive, but if it just keeps going to the top of the list without anything really being added, it just becomes long and boring. We are into the last minute arragements,and need to know when somebody adds information for us to process. We keep having to reopen the thread needlessly just to check who has added what. Mudcat threads do not fall off the bottom of the list, but if nothing is posted for 24 hours, it then disapears from the 1-Day view. Refreshing is not usually necessary Quack! GtD |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Sam Pirt Date: 21 May 02 - 01:39 PM Hi All I am going to be there fri, sat & a bit on sun. Looking forward to some good music and drink. Cheers, sam |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: BanjoRay Date: 21 May 02 - 08:00 PM I'll be there by saturday lunchtime - please book me in for eating saturday evening and breakfast & lunch sunday (if that's how it works!). Looking forward to some good craic. Cheers |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: mooman Date: 22 May 02 - 03:21 AM Dear Ducks, Two more from Clan McMoo will be coming with caravan, Little Mo + friend! Therefore evening buffet and Sunday breakfast for two more please. They have the travelling and camping details. Many thanks mooman |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 May 02 - 02:26 PM Thanks all those who have let me know. Sunday breakfast as I said earlier will only be bacon butties up to around 9.30 as they have Sunday lunches to prepare. Nothing special planned for Saturday lunch but those who have the full English will not be ready for much I expect!! Pie and peas will be available on Friday night at a very reasonable cost. |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 May 02 - 07:02 PM Slight change of plan. Tents WILL now be on the piece of land next to the pub which is grassy and a lot more suitable. Caravans are still on the area 200 yards down the road on the opposite side as detailed above. Selby and myself have spent this evening devising a cunning quiz to keep you all amused and maybe raise a few bob for the Mudcat. There will also be a raffle so if anyone wishes to donate a small prize it will be much appreciated. Roll on Fiday!! |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Geoff the Duck Date: 22 May 02 - 07:56 PM Pied Piper - The most likely Railway station to get to would be Selby. Selby is about 4 miles north of the A19 crossroads, and the George & Dragon a further mile into West Haddlesey. There may be buses from Selby to Doncaster, but I don't know how they run on Sundays. JeZeBeL has a timetable and may be able to supply info (although their computer was down recently, so I don't know if she is currently online.) It may be possible to arrange a collection if somebody isn't drinking. I found a website which claims to suply train times - Here it is!. Geoff the Duck! |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Mrs Cobble Date: 23 May 02 - 01:59 PM Geoff the Duck, please not we will not now be bringing the caravan to the gathering BUT WE WILL be there. I will be doing a collection from Selby rail station about 6pm Friday if thats any use to anyone, there will be two places in the car. Mrs C

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Les from Hull Date: 23 May 02 - 02:46 PM I'm sorry but Maggie and I will not be able to come as quite a lot of people seem to have chosen this weekend to have birthdays! (actually Thumper and me!) See you all soon (hopefully at the People's Voice FF in Beverley - can someone check if there's enough interest in a Beverley Mudgather and we'll put it on the official programme). Have a lovely time! Les and Maggie |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: bill\sables Date: 25 May 02 - 11:43 AM Last night was a fun session with about a dozen catters singing and playing till about 2-30am. Today there was a strong song session going on inside and a musicians session outside in the bright sunshine probably about 30 or so catters including Ivan B and his wife from Lancing Mitchigan US and Mooman from Brussels. Should be a great night of music and song tonight. Must get back, I only come home to let the dog out. Cheers Bill |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Jon Freeman Date: 26 May 02 - 12:16 AM Someone (??Mrs Duck??) asked that we posted to say we got home safely...We did... I ended up singing songs like "Oh what a Beautiful Morning (appropriate) to keep us both awake but we had a safe journey. As for me, I loved everything aboout the do (or my time there - its still going). I could give a lot of praise in lot of directions, musical, company and organisational but I think I will just thank Mrs Duck for her efforts in getting it all together. Jon |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: bill\sables Date: 26 May 02 - 07:38 AM From mooman (on Bill's computer!) I have to echo what Jon said above. A great Gathering. A great mix of songs and tunes. A massive session. Good company and craic. Loads of terrific new friends. A last but not least excellent beer and plenty of Yorkshire tea! Thanks Mrs Duck for the excellent organization and to the George and Dragon for their wonderful hospitality! Will see some of you briefly again today but thanks again from the three of us for a great time! Moo and family |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Pip Freeman Date: 26 May 02 - 08:38 AM I CAN access Mudcat now, so here's a repeat of what I put on The Annexe just in case you don't go there. THANK YOU for the wonderful Mudcat gathering in Yorkshire yesterday--or was it today?! A brilliant venue, well organised by Mr and Mrs Duck, superb music and singing, good food and most of all the company of lovely people, made new friends and put faces to those who were just nicknames, even the sun shone for us!! We arrived home at 4-45am, singing loudly most of the way to make sure I stayed awake! Now I'm looking forward to next year year. Pip

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Jon Freeman Date: 26 May 02 - 08:42 AM Reading McMo's post... yes, I too should give thanks to the George and Dragon - they really did a fine job, and I loved the food they put on... As for the session, it was mighty! The sort of session I had dreamt of having with people from here. Jon |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: 8_Pints Date: 26 May 02 - 11:59 AM We've just arrived home, we would like to echo the thanks to both the Ducks and The George and Dragon. It was great meeting up with old friends and making new ones! (Sorry Hannah Moomin that we didn't meet up today so that you could have a go on Bob's pipes - next time we meet perhaps) Sue vG & 8 Pints |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Mrs.Duck Date: 26 May 02 - 02:17 PM We left the pub at around 4.30 and the music was still carrying on. I'm so pleased everyone had such a great time. Grahame(Krafty) and Wendy were wonderful hosts and provided superb food, great beer and a wonderful atmosphere. Will try to get photos up as soon as possible - I'll leave the incriminating ones to Micca! Thanks to everyone who helped to make this another magic mudcat meet! |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: mouldy Date: 27 May 02 - 02:51 AM I only managed to go for the Saturday evening, but it was excellent! If the Ducks aren't well and truly worn out, they deserve to be after all that organising. I didn't have any of the food, but by all the reports I heard, it was so much more than just adequate. Well done, George and the Dragon! Andrea |
