Well, that was definitely fun. I can't think why we've never done the wail before.

Gosh, Steve, I hadn't realised it was your first Wail as well as Seaking's - I guess it's because MBS get everywhere (and I think were probably on every table at the banquet). Glad you enjoyed it and want to do it again!

Only 21? Damn, we must have miscounted!

The boar said, "I understand
That you have got a banquet planned.
I've been invited to attend,
And I'd like to stay right to the end."

Porkus, over inferno
Round and round and round we go.

Definitley a firing squad... why would we salute the peasants?

Alan White in his wisdom, decided that we,
Should all go to Verwood and eat pork for tea.
with roast potatoes and runners and peas....

Salute ???   I thought we were a firing squad !! Would have aimed *over* your head otherwise...

Have I mentioned that I am suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the 21 Popper 'salute'....I'd sue if I didn't think it would be referred back to the Pig.

For every Piggy, turn, turn , turn
There is a dinner, turn, turn, turn

Thanks again Mike, but we've still got your 'Harvard' hat!

Glad to hear Hawker is better.

Little Hawker a lot better now, is able to jump up to the table and steal food today, have been told to see how he goes and that dogs usually recover quite quickly from this sort of thing, that seems to be the case, and hopefully its just a blip. Glad the low loader got you & Jon back safely Cats, hope the broken nail is now growing, Rosie and that there were no other ill effects from the 'kidnap'! my piccies are done and I will put them somewhere soon!!!!!

Kidnap plot Alie?? OK, yes it WAS fun, even for me! Grizly Carole? it sure was ~ I broke a NAIL!!!   no Boar's Head is worth that folks! ~ *grin*.   And Dave & Ann led a truly entertaining night.   

Seriously, truly lovely weekend, lots of excellent singing, lots of friends, sharing a special (if sometimes crazy) time together.

What a wonderful weekend. As everyone has remarked, the banquet was hilarious, and the kidnapping and rescue of my fair lady took the nonsense to new heights.

Oh, and we did sing as well: loud or soft, fast or slow, sad or happy - they all helped to make it a most memorable weekend.

Yahoo! What a great bash!

Big agreement with all our friends about how fantastic the Wail was this year. Beautiful singing everyone - good effort! Especially lovely were the brave little teeny bands of bods who maintained the "quiet" sings in the 'other' marquee each night (cheers Cllr) - I really enjoyed those!

Thank you to those who were on the same banquet table as me - a great larf was had by all - highly impressed with the cunning plot and a bloody grand execution of the kidnap! I advocate a proper introduction of jousting competitions on Sunday morning next year if the weather is fair! FUN FUN FUN!

THANK YOU GRANDAD AND NICKY & TEAM!

See as many of you as possible at Wallinford and Banbury

Home! We had a good trip back to Cornwall, though Hawker had some sort of seizure in the camper on the way home, he has lost some of the use of his back legs, we are off to the vets in the morning - the reassuring thing is that he has not lost his apetite, but then, that doesn't surprise me.
Thanks Alan, the team and all you lovely lot out there, for a fantastic weekend, which to me felt more like a party than a festival. Great singing (from you all, apologies for the whispered songs from me), great food, great fun banquet and wow did I really see the dawn break this morning? - as my 15 year old said, MUM! You're old enough to know better!! Hey and old enough to choose whether I am sensible or not!!!! I'll be back and photos to follow when I am not so tired! I may have a voice by next weekend, but I just proved that you don't have to sing at Wareham to have a good time!

RE above, the fates seem to be seriously against us at the moment It's not just our plans for the handfasting that have been upset. We set off early this morning to go help set up, got as far as denham road ( that's sorta between uxbridge & slogh) was involved in a RTA which wrote off our caravan. So are currently at home licking our wounds ( all emotional & financial, I stress) and sorting out the aftermath such as producing documents at police station & contacting insurance company. The van having been hit by a lorry is not so much wrecked as matchsticked. We hope to get down sometime saturday, if so see you there if not enjoy. Cheers Jude

Mr Happy, I was recently advised by Jude herself (only a few weeks ago) that the handfasting of JudeL & JohnHenry will not be taking place at Wareham (or even Verwood), but is postponed to another time & another place. So, a weekend of unaccompaanied singing it is :-)

I still miss the Land Rover sing.
