I sure wish I could come but I already used up most of my vacation allotment by going to Portaferry. Hope there'll be lots of pictures to share.

I will be there late Saturday through Sunday on my UK visit, straight off a canal boat. I look forward to seeing and/or meeting any 'Catters there.

I'm not sure if I can make it but seeing as I ain't bin to one for donkeys yonks I would like to come along. If I just turned up with a tent on the weekend would there be room? It's a 2/3 man tunnel whatsit and doesn't take up much room. I could share given the right amount of sex, drugs or rock and roll...

The Swinton Festival is tail end of October but I wouldn't mind doing a Lancy gather in September as well. Anyone fancy it?

Cheers

Yes of course you'd be more than welcome Dave. Did you say you wanted to share with a donkey or wasn't I paying attention?
Mmario, Angelica is exquisite. She will be auctioed/raffled for Mudcat funds so be prepared everyone these shawls are worth digging deep for!

lady penelope - as Angelica is hoping to find the 'perfect partner' and STAY on the right side of the pond - she decided to arrive early to case out the prospects - and let them check her out.

Am hoping to get there again this year -- might even manage to persuade the other half to join me this time, now he's finally finished his thesis & got his PhD (hallelujah!) -- but not sure yet. Might end up being just for a day -- will letcha know as soon as I'm sure.

MMario, I'm sure Angelica will stir up quite a bit of interest -- she's absoloutely gorgeous!

Don't worry about Sunday morning Bill I've about got it sussed - take 1 full jar of coffee and a full bag of sugar. Add water and put in lidded beaker. Place in Bodger's hand. Repeat as necessary until eyes vaguely focus :-)

Have you decided if you are going to auction or raffle her yet Jane? - so I can buy all the tickets or save all my pocket money!

Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2006

Date: 20 Apr 06 - 10:56 AM

Hmmmmm--- I wonder---Maybe Angelica could raise some more cash by hanging in the pub...but then you would run the risk of her going home with a local. *grin*

Far it be from me, with a MMario Shawl of Song and Legend to my name already, but I don't feel Angelica should be able to pass into non-Cat hands......it just seems wrong somehow.

Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering 2006

Date: 20 Apr 06 - 03:03 PM

I definitely think she should go to someone who appreciates her. Maybe a silent auction would be the best idea. Keep the raffle for more earthly prizes.

Unfortunately Micca and I are unable to make to the YG this year.....this will be the first one we have missed in about 5 years.

We will be there in spirit, or is that spirits??!

Have fun

There are also likely to be an assortment of local 'catters and folkies. I've got this list by going through the thread and picking up on those saying they might come. If your name isn't here it doesn't matter come anyway. All are welcome and if you are a folk loving guest who would like to find out what mudcat is all about come too.
See you all in two weeks.

I've just blown part of my sons inheritance on a new (5 yrs old)camper. I will be breaking it in at the Gathering - please stand by to offer asistance _ I may need some help as some things look quite technical. Anyone interested in purchasing a well used Romahome with an engine that goes like a bomb - just PM me.
