22 Oct 99 - 10:31 AM (#126757) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Steve Latimer I live in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. Each summer there is a Whitby Folk Festival. Were you aware of it? Steve |
|
22 Oct 99 - 02:21 PM (#126867) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Graham Pirt Steve Actually I had heard of it. So please note that this is Whitby Folk "Week" and not "festival". However, it would be really good to see Whitby in Ontario! |

22 Oct 99 - 02:38 PM (#126880) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Steve Latimer Graham, Regardless of what people like Rick Fielding might tell you, Whitby, Ont. is the cultural centre of Canada. Just kidding, we are a town of about 70,000 about half an hour east of Toronto. Not much happens here, but it is a very nice place and although it has grown considerably in the last fifteen years, it still manages to retain a quaint small town feel. If you find yourself anywhere near Toronto, look me up and I'll give you the three hour tour (2 1/2 of which are having a couple of pints and talking about Whitby England. Regards, Steve

22 Jun 00 - 05:59 PM (#246089) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Tig The Badger, Kat and I will be there for at least part of the week. If we aren't up for the workshop look out for us carting a bag of badges around. You don't need to buy but they are worth reading! Spot those of us with Mudcat ones with our cookie on to put names to faces! |

23 Jun 00 - 06:04 AM (#246406) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,Kathy What are the dates of Whitby Folk Week |

23 Jun 00 - 07:35 AM (#246423) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: McGrath of Harlow Tig - any way of getting badges in time for any other festivals, like Sidmouth? |
|
23 Jun 00 - 08:35 AM (#246460) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Terry K Where in Whitby is it mainly located? Any suggestions for accommodation? Is there a convenient caravan site? Haven't been to Whitby for years, so I'll have to get there. Cheers Terry |
|
23 Jun 00 - 04:47 PM (#246692) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: bobby's girl The festival takes place pretty well all over Whitby, but the Festival Office is based in West Cliff School,and is usually well signposted. There is a festival camp site, and also, just outside Whitby itself but in easy walking distance, there is a Haven holiday site. |
|
23 Jun 00 - 05:40 PM (#246727) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,Kathy Thank you for the dates. Kathy |

24 Jun 00 - 04:48 AM (#246905) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: roopoo Graham - Thanks for reminding me I haven't paid for my cottage yet! The "Green Man" is conveniently situated at the foot of the Crag, so often gets used as a stop-off point for cuppas! I'll be around all week, with or without my Terry Pratchett lookalike husband (depending on if they let him home from wherever he is). mouldy and selby - you mean you haven't even started the pizza fund yet....? Get a grip, lad!

27 Jun 00 - 09:47 AM (#247682) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Dorrie i have a cottage on pannet way, (i've not paid yet either! whoops!) but tried to find it at M&C and couldn't, can anyone enlighten me? is a long walk from spa? is it dark and scary? are we having bad taste night?/britneyspears night/tarts and vicars/rocky horror/lots of dressing up in general? yeah!!! |

27 Jun 00 - 09:51 AM (#247687) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Patrish(inactive) I stayed on pannets way a while back, its about a five minute walk down hill into town, but getting back after leg wobbling drinks may take a little longer Patrish |

27 Jun 00 - 02:37 PM (#247899) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: selby Mouldy The pizza fund is well advanced. Just the Beer money to save up for now. I was wondering on the protocol of being a mudcatter, do I have to wear my Mudcat T shirt ALL week or can I get away with every other day. Keith |

27 Jun 00 - 03:05 PM (#247928) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,Wullie Hope to see everyone at Whitby, just wear you tee shirt and talk to anyone similar Wullie |

27 Jun 00 - 05:44 PM (#248058) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,Jim Dunn A cheaper and closer site camp/caravan site to the town than the Haven site is Stoupe Cross. It's family owned and has a nice feel about it. Unfortunately for anyone wishing to take their dog camping, due to people not clearing up after their dogs and also letting them run wild, the family have now banned campers bringing dogs onto the site. |

28 Jun 00 - 07:33 AM (#248390) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,jim banham Keith .Who but a Yorkshireman would put 20ps in the pizza fund.In Lancashire it's 50ps.See you there .We're off to weekend of dance @ Scarborough. Jim |
|
28 Jun 00 - 03:24 PM (#248656) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Mrs.Duck Ok I've just decided to organise a mudcat barbeque at our cottage (just behind the White Horse) It's next door to Malcolm Storey but we probably won't invite him. I'll post details of exact time and location etc in the Tap and Spile. |
|
29 Jun 00 - 01:54 PM (#249299) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: selby Jim Who but a Lancastrian would have to leave his own county and travel across the great divide to find good company, good ale and good seaside towns with good festivals. Are YOU dancing or observing watch out for me with me MUDCAT T shirt on. Keith |
|
30 Jun 00 - 11:00 AM (#249781) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Mrs.Duck Keith if I wear my T shirt do you think people will think I'm you? Any musicians or dancers(cotswold) who are unattached and fancy a good time (I don't think that sounds quite right but I'm sure you get my drift) will certainly be made welcome by the Scratch who dance out on Monday Wdenesday and Friday. See Geoff the Duck in the Tap and Spile for details. Thursday looks like being a good day foe a Mudcat barbeque around 6pm so it won't intefere with any festival things you want to go to. Again the Tap and Spile will be the place to find out. Don't forget to wear your badges-contact Tig or the Badger soon if you want them for Whitby as they won't be there until Tuesday I think. |
|
02 Jul 00 - 10:25 AM (#250564) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: selby I don't know Mrs Duck but if anyone's confused I have not got any little ducklings. Is the BBQ going to be a battle as it is billed as foe a mudcat bbq (bg) have you already gat a programme? Keith |
|
02 Jul 00 - 11:31 AM (#250580) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: McGrath of Harlow "Just wear your tee shirt and talk to anyone similar". It might be wiser to wear something else as well. Got any contact details for Stoupe Cross, Jim Dunn? How far out is it, and how much do they charge for a tent site etc. |
|
02 Jul 00 - 12:58 PM (#250597) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Terry K Stoupe Cross Farm is on the map of Whitby on www.streetmap.co.uk (sorry I can't do clickies yet). It is about 1.5 miles south west towards Saltwick Bay - so it's an easy walk down into Whitby and up a bloody great steep hill to get home! Their number is 01947 603210. They don't take bookings except for plots with electricity (and they are all fully booked for the week). The lady told me there's unlikely to be a problem after the weekend but she couldn't guarantee the weekend itself. I guess if your tent is small enough there shouldn't be too much problem. In any case, there is a Haven site about quarter of a mile further out if you get stuck. Cheers, Terry |

02 Jul 00 - 03:55 PM (#250661) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Mrs.Duck OK Keeth if yowr jusd going to corekt all mi spillings!!!No I haven't got a programme so I suppose it might clash but I'll be there! It will be a bring your own and all share type do anyway so whoever turns up will be fine. |

02 Jul 00 - 06:18 PM (#250699) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Terry K Re Stoupe Cross - that's South East, not south west - I have this left/right/east/west blindness thing. End up in some funny places sometimes...... Now, where is this Tap and Spile to find out about Thursday's barbecue? Cheers, Terry |

03 Jul 00 - 03:08 AM (#250930) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: roopoo Terry, it's opposite the railway station, Co-op and the marina, and just up from the public conveniences. mouldy |

03 Jul 00 - 05:07 PM (#251254) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,TONY M For a night of aternative folky music every night of Folk Week...try The MIDDLE EARTH Tavern...Anything goes! I think they're all mad. The pub is over the river from the Tap & Spile, out towards the new bridge. You can play outside if the weather's O.K. TONE |

04 Jul 00 - 01:23 PM (#251716) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: selby Then there's the Elsinore or the Plough or the Ship to name 3 more and anywhere else you wish to sart a session. Keith |

04 Jul 00 - 03:37 PM (#251780) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Mrs.Duck The Endeavour is also now a venue for singarounds and sesions. |

04 Jul 00 - 05:57 PM (#251824) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: McGrath of Harlow Last time I was there I spent most of my time in the Sailing Club, where there's normally three sepoarate musical things happening at various parts of the building and the Fisherman's Boat Club for the tune sessions. And the Seaman's Mission. At least I think I did... But Breakfast in the place where youi sign in, and trade your booking slip for a real ticket - Festival Office isn't. I should be there anyway. |

11 Jul 00 - 01:27 PM (#255788) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST,John Jocys There have been some very good sings and music sessions in The Tap & Spile. The beer's good too. |

12 Jul 00 - 04:42 AM (#256253) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: roopoo Yep, you do get a bit spoilt for choice! Trouble is, I have to turn back into a parent at some point in the evening, and wrest a young daughter out of the Spa ceilidh. In a couple of years' time she can do the wresting herself! I'll be around with Geoff and Mrs Duck, and the Scratch for some of the time. I wonder what this year's theme will be...? mouldy |

12 Jul 00 - 12:05 PM (#256419) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Mrs.Duck Let's put it this way mouldy-if anything exciting is happening this year it won't be my fault! After engagements weddings and twins I'll let someone else lead the theme this time!! So no Whitby hitch or hatch. |

12 Jul 00 - 04:58 PM (#256652) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: roopoo We've had the hatch and the match so I hope we don't get the despatch from anybody! Of course, there was the coffin 2 years ago... mouldy ps If you're in the Jug tonight and I'm not, it's because #1 daughter has gone off bowling with her boyfriend, taking her car keys and alarm zapper with her. I can't move the blasted thing out of the way to get out, so I'm sitting here in a foul mood. At leadt I got to say hello to Bill yesterday at the Great Yorkshire Show.

15 Aug 00 - 06:46 PM (#278410) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Geoff the Duck By the way, we spent all of Warwick FF looking for any Ickle Dorritts - we couldn't find you!

16 Aug 00 - 07:02 PM (#279170) Subject: RE: BS: Whitby Folk Week From: Linda Kelly Geoff the Duck I am mortified that I missed you at Warwick -I spent large amounts of time in the Bowling Green in the singarounds and also drinking Fat Bob in the beer tent. I was also to be found in the Moor and Coast hanging out with friends of an evening. Admittedly I was incognito but then I do like to blend into the crowd. I am sure I would have leaped on you had I spotted your badge. Had a wonderful time |

We are usually out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1pm (meet at the Plough, 12.30) until we run out of steam. Any lost Cotswold Morrismen or musicians welcome.
