Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: IvanB Date: 02 Jun 02 - 01:34 PM Arrived home yesterday and I'd like to add my voice to the praises for Jane and Geoff's organization work and the landlords and workers of the George and Dragon for making last weekend so enjoyable. Although we had too leave much too soon, Gaile and I both enjoyed ourselves greatly. 'Twas wonderful meeting all the Mudcatters in attendance as well as sharing songs and tunes. Gaile, who took accordion lessons as a child and hasn't played in years, was amazed at Sam Pirt's dexterity. And we both enjoyed that part of the tune session we heard before we had to leave. Here's hoping we can make it another time and, perhaps, stay longer. |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Jon Freeman Date: 28 May 02 - 08:30 PM BJ, it was just a get together of poeple from here that took place near Selby, North Yorkshire. There are several attempts at get togethers from people here throughott the year although I've yet to read about an Australian one and cannot think of another Yorkshire event this year unless you considered the Beverly do which I think has the involvement of a lot of people from here. There is a permathread on the gatherings somewhere here which may explain more but to me, they are just simple meetings of people who may have met before but may also just know one another as names and formats can differ. Jon (still "buzzing" from this one)

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Iarf Date: 28 May 02 - 06:34 PM I enjoyed shaking hands with lots of people. I also enjoyed (sad person that I am) the custard workshop and fully intend to practise this with my 5 year old grandson this weekend. There are some really nice (and very talented) people on Mudcat and the gatherings for me are a celebration of this fact. Spot (with my IARF cookie problem that I can't resolve) |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: GUEST,Firecat at college Date: 28 May 02 - 06:52 AM I was squinting because I was still three quarters asleep and the "sun" was in my eyes, and I wasn't fully ready with the smile when Micca took the piccy! If you're wondering, the Tshirt and the necklace that I'm holding are two of my prezzies from Sorcha as part of the Secret Santa thing! It was a fantastic thing though, and I met lots of people. I'm not so infamous any more! |

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 |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Mrs.Duck Date: 23 May 02 - 05:35 PM Storm, tempest, plagues of locusts who cares we'll have a great time ! Never rains in the pub anyway !!Should anyone need it the telephone number of the George and Dragon is : 01757 228198. |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 23 May 02 - 05:16 PM Unfortunately, I won't be able to get there this year; have a good time, all! |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING THIS WEEKEND From: BanjoRay Date: 23 May 02 - 05:10 PM Anybody seen the weather forecast! We're all going to be blown into the Ouse - better bring your strongest tent! Cheers |
|
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: 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: 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.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: 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. |
