Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: vectis Date: 17 Mar 04 - 05:02 PM Glad to see so many of the usual (and unusual) suspects there. Maybe I'll make next year, especially if it became a 3 day event, what an novel idea skipy :-))))))) Mary |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: The Admiral Date: 17 Mar 04 - 03:19 AM We'd like to say 'thanks' to all those who turned up and made it work. The Morris were the drivers on this one until about three weeks before when we received an email to say they didn't like the pub(after all those years of dancing at Dog Days?!) and therefore were cancelling. We thought of cancelling then but we'd already told too many people so we had to go with it. And thanks to the magic of email and to the mighty Mudcat we had a great afternoon, good music, good beer, good company and a great atmosphere as witnessed by the photos. Love and Regards; Tony and Pearl |

Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: fiddler Date: 16 Mar 04 - 08:34 AM Leadfingers - you are now supposed to agree with me - or smarm up to she who thinks she must be obeyed! |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: GUEST,Mrs Admiral Date: 16 Mar 04 - 04:11 AM Excellent Photo's catsPHiddle - I even liked the one of me with Micca. Unusual as I hate my photographs normally! Thank you to everyone who came and supported the event - both Admiral & I really enjoyed ourselves and it was a wonderful warm atmosphere with excellent singing and playing. Who know's maybe we will do it again next year! Mrs Admiral |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Leadfingers Date: 15 Mar 04 - 07:45 PM Dont worry fiddler - Steppers dancing made up for any lack of Fiddle Skill |

Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: My guru always said Date: 15 Mar 04 - 03:37 PM You certainly did Zorg - hope there's another one next year.... |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Zorg Date: 15 Mar 04 - 11:05 AM It seems I missed a 'jolly' good session. |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Morticia Date: 15 Mar 04 - 10:02 AM Me bodhrans nicely loosened up for the coming season....dear God, is there a more fearsome phrase in the english language? *G* |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: GUEST,A Wandering Minstrel Date: 15 Mar 04 - 09:06 AM A cracking good session. Good to see everyone there with instruments both real and imaginary. Me bodhrans nicely loosened up for the coming season! must get this cookie fixed :) |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Morticia Date: 15 Mar 04 - 07:05 AM yes, thanks to the Admiral and Mrs Admiral......it did me good to go out and be with others of my kind for an afternoon, even if I did go with a hangover that could have felled a buffalo.Lovely to see everyone again.....that'll keep me going until the Yorkshire gathering,I hope. |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Catherine Jayne Date: 15 Mar 04 - 05:44 AM Thank You Admiral and Mrs Admiral for a wonderful session. I really enjoyed myself thank you Col K for being my personal driver!!. It was great to see so many catters there. I have NEVER seen Morty corpsed in the middle of a folk song......I think it might have had something to do with the 'air maraccas'.....piccies will follow shortly!!! |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Dave Bryant Date: 15 Mar 04 - 04:36 AM Yes - Great session - pity Essex Girl couldn't make it. Only one complaint about the beer - I think it was evaporating or something - my tankard kept going empty ! |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Micca Date: 15 Mar 04 - 03:06 AM Yeah Kitty!!, havent seen such a demo of Terpsechorean skill for ages!! Good to meet some new catters, and of course the "ususal suspects" This was catsPhiddles first "real" outing, (thanks to ColK who drove us there and back) since the Op, and it did her LOTS of good!! As mentioned above, a splendid session, lots of music and song and good companions, what more could you ask for? (and the beer was Breakspears!!) |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Herga Kitty Date: 15 Mar 04 - 02:48 AM I had a bottle of sparkling mineral water on top of the orange and lemonade - but I was watching stepper's feet, not the audience behind her! ("Good dancing" a bit of an understatement, Tel..) Kitty |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Leadfingers Date: 14 Mar 04 - 08:19 PM AND Hovering Bob and Wandering Minstrel. There was a fifty per cent Catter turnout by my count. And it was a cracking session - Good songs , good Tunes and some good dancing too > |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: fiddler Date: 14 Mar 04 - 04:11 PM After Morticia called her skinny = you must take more watrer with whatever you were drinking HK |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Herga Kitty Date: 14 Mar 04 - 04:09 PM Oops, and so was Dave Bryant! Must give up this orange juice and lemonade lark, it's clearly destroying memory cells.... Kitty |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Herga Kitty Date: 14 Mar 04 - 04:06 PM Andy I didn't, but you were hiding behind her! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: fiddler Date: 14 Mar 04 - 03:43 PM How did you miss newbie stepper! |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Herga Kitty Date: 14 Mar 04 - 03:38 PM And a cracking good session it was too! - Many thanks to Admiral and Mrs Admiral and the 7 Stars. Catters in every corner - Micca, Khat, Morty, Pixie of Doom, ColK, Wandering Minstrel, Leadfingers, Trayton, MGAS and Fiddler too, I think.. Kitty |

Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: My guru always said Date: 13 Mar 04 - 07:46 AM Problem with getting it to go into the pan Morti? LOL |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Morticia Date: 12 Mar 04 - 07:17 PM Don't listen to my uncle......I never cook with white wine |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: George Papavgeris Date: 12 Mar 04 - 04:52 PM Down with serious case of the snots. Won't make it. Nursing myself in readiness for coming Friday... |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Micca Date: 12 Mar 04 - 04:38 PM Cllr, she is only after your heart to stuff it with herbs and onion and cook it in white wine and cream!!! |

Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Cllr Date: 12 Mar 04 - 03:41 AM LOL Morty you are a woman after my own heart,Cllr |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Morticia Date: 11 Mar 04 - 04:04 PM that's it Kitty, suffocate the little sucker |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Herga Kitty Date: 11 Mar 04 - 03:37 PM The little gnome is still in its bubble wrap! |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: BB Date: 10 Mar 04 - 02:13 PM Re recycling the gnome. Send it down to us in Devon, Kitty. Our Christmas Shammick Acoustic Session sees Father Christmas handing out presents to everyone, and it's a great way to recycle unwanted possessions, providing they're in good condition - or even last year's recycled presents! Barbara |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: GUEST,skipy Date: 10 Mar 04 - 12:55 PM refresh |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Mar 04 - 08:33 PM I suggest that Mudcat Badges be worn so we know who is who. If you want a badge then PM Badger - One will cost you fifty pence plus postage, if I remember correctly. |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Zorg Date: 09 Mar 04 - 02:05 PM Thinking about it, hope to get a pass out |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: alanww Date: 09 Mar 04 - 12:48 PM LOL! :o) Shame I cannot make as I will be in Mossley, near Manchester, for the Morris Ring AGM, then a family do in Ross-on-Wye. Hope you all have a great time and say hello to everyone for me, paricularly those going on the narrowboat trip in May! "There are goblins, trolls and demons – in the dark ...!" Alan |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: The Admiral Date: 09 Mar 04 - 03:12 AM No, No! Not an Auction! Mary, Carl the Landlord has one of your Gnomes from last year and is quite happy with it! (Mind you, he is from Birmingham) Tony |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: vectis Date: 07 Mar 04 - 06:33 PM Kitty Borrow a gun and shoot the little sucker to smithereens or do what I did and put it in an auction..... Mary |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: GUEST,skipy Date: 07 Mar 04 - 01:47 PM See you there |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Leadfingers Date: 07 Mar 04 - 01:27 PM I am reliably informed that there are NO plans for an Auction next week - Just a good sing and play. |
Subject: RE: Dog Days Afternoon (UK) From: Herga Kitty Date: 07 Mar 04 - 12:18 PM Only a week to go... Kitty PS Have still got the gnome from last year's auction (thanks Trayton!). Any suggestions for recycling gratefully received. |
