What do you mean its only October!! We were at the Black Dog last night and confirmed the booking for next year so get your diaries out - ready? - Friday 20th May 2005 to Sunday 22nd May 2005. We are anticipating the usual mix of song, music, drink and fun and hope to see as many of you there as can make it. Plenty of room for tents and caravans just let us know.

Spendid news Mrs D!

Myself & fiends will certainly try to make it next time.

Very well done for your superb organisational skills.

Is it the same place with the al fresco loo?

Not at all Bill ALL are welcome even Mr happys fiends :0) It is a Mudcat gathering but we are always happy to meet any folk loving folk. There is plenty of space for vans and tents and of course the al fresco night loo is a feature!! At previous gatherings here the pub have offered cooked breakfasts and they also do excellent food at other times. The beer is great and quite honestly no excuse not to have a great time. Sometimes we have separate sog and tune sessions and at others mixed. We even had a quiz last year which may be repeated this time but scheduled earlier in the day.

Count us in..... I love that Al Fresco feeling round the nethers at 4.00am! That poor doggie next door must wonder what the hell is going on!

I will produce another quiz if requested, although maybe leave out the joining in round as it was a)too quiet on the lappie and b) too noisy in the pub!

The whistles, hooters and bells will be there, so don't sit next to me if you don't like loud whistles!

If you missed it, it was called 'Never mind the clues, it's all bo//ocks' and was loosely based on (in no particular order), I'm sorry, I haven't a clue, Just a minute, Never mind the bo//ocks and Sale of the Century.

so that's the week before Chippenham?

And the Black Dog in Selby not the Black Dog in Black Dog, Devon where they have a monthly SAR and the Penyymoor singaround in June?

Glad we got that sorted.

Hey - this is the first entry on my wonderful calendar that I received from Black Walnut in the summer! It's a wonderful Native American art calendar, from of all places 'Cape Dorset! I am well pleased with it, and for once can't wait until the year ends and I can put it up.

Consider it marked in, Mrs D!

With this much notice, I don't feel that I have any excuse if I'm not there! With any luck I'll have my own transport so I woun't have to rely on mother to ferry me about!

Col K, that is the kind of remark I would expect from you!

Hopefully its the kind of snog I'd expect from him too!! Collie there is a lack of hotels in the immediate area but may be some B&B places in Selby as long as you are prepared to drive back each evening.

Hi Folks,

Can someone please tell me if this is a primarily traditional gathering, or would a fully paid up singer/sogwriter, who has been branded an AGB by several catters, also be welcome. Most of my sogs are a) Traditional-ish, in tone and tune, with some music hall style, and b) Humourous.

Must go now, I'm feeling soggy again.

This is a primarily Yorkshire gathering which means anything goes especially barrels of ale. Climb on board the more the merrier.

Isn't the continuing validity of the hug vouchers dependent on A Certain Someone's attendance (I did me best to cash them all. Has Jane the Wicked been printing more since?!)? Oh, & Khatt, as a newly-wed, I expect you to behave yourself (notice, I didn't say I expect you to behave well! A) I wouldn't, B) I know you, & C) I won't tell Micca if you don't... ;-) )
