07 Feb 12 - 02:56 PM (#3303849) Subject: Yorkshire 2012 From: Mrs.Duck Decided to start a new thread. Date is 18th May 2012 at the same venue as last year. Hopefully a few more will come this year and stay into Sunday. We have to move out of the function room for a couple of hours for Sunday lunches but will have a party tent available during that time and can go back into the big room for the rest of the day. Here is a link to Last years thread |

07 Feb 12 - 05:44 PM (#3303976) Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2012 From: Noreen Since this is a new thread, how about putting all the details near the top, for those who may be interested but didn't go last year? It's good setting for a gathering- and good people going to be there! |

08 Feb 12 - 02:39 AM (#3304164) Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2012 From: Doug Chadwick Its a weekend of Music and Booze and …… Not exactly too descriptive there, Leadfingers. This was the description of last year's do, according to Mrs Duck prior to the event: The weekend is the 13th May at The White Horse Inn Sharlston Nr Wakefield. There is camping available on an adjacent field at £4 for caravans and £2 for tents per night. It is not an exclusively Mudcat weekend so any folkie friends are very welcome. We have use of the function room and possibly a party tent all weekend and I have promised we will all drink lots of beer. The pub does excellent food and I would recommend booking a Sunday lunch. I am proposing a communal style meal on the Saturday evening with something like chilli and veggie curry with rice. There will be song and music sessions and sometimes a mix and chocolate. I'd say that that was pretty much the way that things turned out – and with the "VERY good company" that Leadfingers mentions. DC |

08 Feb 12 - 12:19 PM (#3304398) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Folk gathering 2012 From: Mrs.Duck I don't know how to change the thread title. Basically the details are very similar to last year. The weekend is the 18th May 2012 at The White Horse Inn Sharlston Nr Wakefield. There is camping available on an adjacent field at £4 for caravans and £2 for tents per night. It is not an exclusively Mudcat weekend so any folkie friends are very welcome.

08 Feb 12 - 07:29 PM (#3304599) Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2012 From: foggers It was brilliant last year and I am pretty sure we will be there again unless disaster or stardom strikes... The pub is great with good food and well kept beer. The field for camping is next to pub with use of pub facilities. The Ducks and Ducklings did a super job all round. The magic duck-wand was wielded as a means of turn taking in the sessions and the company was indeed excellent. I want to remember my video camera this year, in the hope of immortalising Geoff's rendition of Duelling Banjos! |

02 Apr 12 - 06:22 AM (#3332417) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: Mrs.Duck Brian is their campervan. We own a double size gazebo that we have used before as a party tent and plan to put it up next to the function room. The main pub isn't really suitable for a session but we have use of the function room all weekend apart from a couple of hours Sunday lunchtime when they serve meals in there. If you have a tent Mr Happy it could prove very useful as another session area especially if, as I hope, we get more numbers. The function room is a good size and last year we ended up with a mixed session and in the end didn't put the tent up (very high winds didn't help). |

03 Apr 12 - 11:17 AM (#3333079) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: Mr Happy Ah, high winds, yes I remember me big frame tent sailing off like a giant kite at the previous Yorkshire gathering I came to years back. it landed roof down on the only tiny bit of barbedwire in the field & ripped a big hole in it. Luckily had me little spare dome tent as well. That was the pub with the al fresco flush lav!! Tee-hee |

As it stands, the Chester contingent will be definitely meself & Mrs Happy[Mie] & probably the Gloom Band [2 - 4 others]. I'm photocopying b&w versions of the flyer for further publicity around our local seshes & do's so you should be assured of decent numbers of diverse instrumentalists & singers. Will there be a possibility for campers to stay over until the Monday? |

08 May 12 - 01:06 PM (#3348291) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: Mrs.Duck Had a good time at the pub this weekend and they are looking forward to us again this year. Please spread the word to any folk friendly friends mudcatters or non mudcatters all welcome. If everyone who has expressed an interest turns up we should be about 30 - 40 but there is plenty of room for more. There will be cooked breakfasts available both mornings. Last year we all had a communal chilli on the Saturday. If you think that would be a good idea again? The pub does great food so please support them by eating and drinking loads :) |
|
08 May 12 - 02:35 PM (#3348328) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: foggers Hi Jane- I thought the communal chilli on the Sat night was great last year, though I remember at least a few peeps had not realised this was on, so they had eaten in the main pub earlier. So if you need an idea of numbers I count as four ( not cos I eat enough chilli for four, but because I think my OH and our friends who are coming agin this year will probably think the same!) |
|
09 May 12 - 03:24 AM (#3348535) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: Doug Chadwick Count me in. I count as one (not cos I couldn't eat enough chilli for four, but I have to maintain my sylph-like figure ………… stop laughing!). DC |

11 May 12 - 04:05 PM (#3349691) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: Mrs.Duck Pretty good. Slightly higher than the road so drains well. Pub doesn't do B&B although there is a fairly good motel style place not too far.Redbeck Motel |

20 May 12 - 06:02 AM (#3353166) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: Dennis the Elder Had a brilliant day on Saturday, thanks to the Ducks and all present. What a good song by a duckling and she serves a good pint as well. Thanks for making me feel comfortable. Good musicians including violins, squeeze box, auto harp, bongos and even the banjos were great. Can't make Sunday, work to catch up on, see you all next year and some before I hope. |

When we departed at around six this evening, there were a handful remaining another night before moving on elsewhere. Thanks to all who attended, even if it was only for a short while. Quack! Geoff. |

Thanks to everyone who made it such a relaxed, inclusive and friendly gathering. It was great to meet peeps I've known by their Mudcat presence only, and other folks who ain't on here. It's been brilliant. |

20 May 12 - 08:56 PM (#3353517) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: YorkshireYankee Many thanks to the Ducks (especially Maddie!) for another excellent gathering. I went up for the Saturday and had a great time; heard some brilliant songs & tunes, and met and/or saw again some lovely folks. Good music, good people and (I assume, as I'm not a beer fan myself) good beer... what more could you wish for? |

24 May 12 - 08:11 AM (#3355059) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Gathering May 2012 From: GUEST,Jon Heslop Arrived back home safe & sound (& weary)last night. A big thank you to Geoff & Jane for organising a terriffic weekend, to Maddie for keeping the beer flowing and for being so helpful and kind to us when we arrived on Friday weary strangers in a strange land , well it is to us. We really enjoyed the whole thing, meeting old friends, and new. Great singing, playing, laughing, drinking and socialising. Also thanks to Foggers and Yorkshire Yankee among others for their kind words and finally a HUGE thank you to Mr Happy for making me laugh so much that it hurt with his unique rendition of the Ken Dodd song, "Happiness". PS, had a great time in York too. Jon & Fred |
