From: Geoff the Duck Hi Folks - Just wondering if anyone knows what might be planned for the days between Christmas and New Year? Are the usual crowd heading there, and has anyone discussed fancy dress themes, or where things might be happening? Quack! Geoff. |

25 Sep 14 - 07:29 AM (#3663545) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash My first comment should have read "does anyone want to SET the treasure hunt" |

03 Oct 14 - 07:59 AM (#3665652) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash An up-date from the Endeavour. The new couple Mark & Tracey took over last week, they are very friendly and are encouraging the local folkies to use the pub and on Wednesday even made plates of rolls (ham, cheese etc) for us towards the end of the night. Tracey also makes REALLY nice crab rolls! The pub will undergo a refurbishment in the not too distant future so hopefully it should be all nice and bright and sparkling for Christmas/New Year. I know Jude has had a brief conversation with Mark regarding New Years Eve and they are happy to accommodate the folkies, not set in stone to my knowledge but looking likely. If this is the case the Treasure Hunt will start and finish from there as well. I've not had dates from Jude yet so you'll have to watch this space. |

06 Oct 14 - 06:37 AM (#3666547) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash Very true Guest ............. however I once worked with a young lad who was heard to comment "Christmas Day is on the 25th again ... it was last year too" We couldn't rib him too much his Dad was the quarry manager and not a man to be trifled with. Incidentally Geoff was enquiring about the Ceilidh, Quiz and Treasure Hunt times and dates which to my knowledge haven't been programmed as yet. |

06 Oct 14 - 08:14 PM (#3666776) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Guest Have the Coastguard and Regatta been informed? One for all true folkies of course is the New Year's Day dip in the briney. Lovely and cool at that time I'm told and you are almost guaranteed to get your photo in the Whitby Gazette! |

07 Oct 14 - 12:20 PM (#3666923) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash Several folkies have done the Boxing Day dip, but not that many due to not being here that early. They tend to drift in around the 27/28th normally. Certainly Aelfleda and Maggie have done the dip and Wombat as well. Joe......... same quiz team as last year? |

17 Oct 14 - 06:46 AM (#3669864) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash A bit of forward planning, if you are doing the treasure hunt you will probably need some paper to make notes on! |

17 Oct 14 - 10:58 AM (#3669914) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: r.padgett I've just about sorted the new year stuff so here's the info: Monday 29th - Treasure Hunt Tuesday 30th - Ceilidh New Year's Eve - The Endeavour (that might change but will keep you all posted on that).

06 Nov 14 - 04:54 PM (#3675198) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,newbie visitor! Hi, staying locally, can anyone join in? Will guarantee to be sober, staid and respectable if needed. Can lie for England too. |

07 Nov 14 - 04:59 AM (#3675344) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash Newbie, It is sort of understood that the treasure hunt is not really a treasure hunt but a treasure hunt in that the treasure you hunt is the beer in the bars sort of treasure. Am I making myself clear Treasure. I'll be a treasure and explain it clearly to you on the Monday when the treasure hunt starts (I have to explain it every year to some people who've been doing the treasure hunt for decades!) Bring a pen and some paper, there's a treasure. PS Ability to lie for England is definitely an asset, if you're sober, staid and respectable you will be on your own, we've never had one of those before! |

07 Nov 14 - 05:01 AM (#3675346) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash Normally teams of four but if you're by yourself we'll find you a suitable team to join. |

07 Nov 14 - 05:21 PM (#3675542) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Joe G I'm happy withthe same quiz team arrangement as last year Raggytash - lets upset some people again ;-) |

08 Nov 14 - 07:15 AM (#3675639) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash It's a long time since you did the quiz Ray, I've been setting it for about ten years and knowledge of Whitby has never been a criteria during that time. |

08 Nov 14 - 07:49 PM (#3675770) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Joe G A knowledge of Raggytash's favourite tipple far more advantageous ;-) |

09 Nov 14 - 04:47 AM (#3675835) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: r.padgett Very true Raggy the Barnsley lads know a lot about nothing, twas the treasure hunt and the drinking of pints instead of halves and Nigels insistence on being always right and Malcolm going elsewhere instead of "logging off" and well Booker, lol Happy Christmas to all our readers Ray |

09 Nov 14 - 10:28 AM (#3675918) Subject: RE: Whitby New Year's Eve 2014? Any info? From: GUEST,Raggytash I did confuse some people no end one year. In order to find the name of the pub I said that the pub was the symbol of St Mark, had some symbolism with Venice (or Vienna can't honestly remember now) and had a bank named after it. I found several people in the Black Horse looking puzzled instead of the Golden Lion! On that one question I suppose knowledge of Whitby would have come in handy. |
