I'm sure I posted thanx to the Ducks and all that contributed to a lovely week-end yesterday, but it must have been a 'phantom deposit'!

A huge thank you to the Ducks and ducklings for organising the weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2nd Yorkshire Gathering and the weather helped by permitting much outdoor singing. Yorkshire Yankee, thanks for all your songs, Sue and Bob, thanks for all the songs (and cheese) and Linda, Les and Maggie, thanks for getting me involved in the first place.Lovely to re-meet some familiar faces,   (Nutty, Colin, Frank) and make some new friends. Micca, I'll wait to hear your own version of Thiepval sometime soon. I hope to catch up with more of you at the Beverley Folk Festival 18 - 20 June. Cheers, Hazel.

You need to follow the link that says back to Mrs canards photos which gives access to the other albums. Alternatively the second link in my last post takes you direct to them - around 100 of them!!

Echoing what's already been said... Many, many thanks to the Ducks for organising this do! And thanks to Maddie for all her fine work on the raffles -- how much did we raise for Mudcat, Mrs D? (BTW, great pix!)

Once again, I really enjoyed getting to see so many of the faces that belong to the (by now) familiar names. Special thanks to Bill Sables (and Lorna!) for putting me up/putting up with me for a couple of nights -- especially at such a very busy time for them.

Thanks to Willa for indulging me by learning "Hola Hee Hola Ho" (and so quickly, too!) so we could sing it together -- you did a great job! Really enjoyed the singing of *so* many folks, can't even list them all, cos I'm afraid I'll leave someone out, but there were some great singers there! Linda & Pistachio -- your singing blew me away! As it was for Micca, a particular high point for me was hearing Sue Van G sing Linda's song "The Luckiest Sailor"... a flawless rendition of a powerfully moving song. Also, Geoff the Duck's magnificent *solo* rendition of "Duelling Banjos" was a performance which will linger *long* in my memory!

Hope to see some of you again before too long...

Cheers,

YY

If I've done my sums right the ammount raised was £70 which I will send to Gareth or give to Bill whichever is easiest.
