From: Tomsk Having seen the thread on the gathering within the RED rose county (Manchester for those of you across the pond), it made me wonder if there are any WHITE rose 'cats around. If so, where are you from, and what regular events / clubs do you attend?? |

22 Nov 00 - 09:46 AM (#345079) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: bill\sables HiTomsk, for a regular meting of catters (between 6 and 20 every week ) come along to The Jug, Chapel Hadlesey, Near Selby every Wednesday night about 8-30. You should be able to get there by car now that the floods have gone down. Cheers Bill |

22 Nov 00 - 10:26 AM (#345113) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: Bagpuss Some of us Yorkshire catters went along to the "other side" for the manc gathering. We should arrange a big Yorkshire gathering sometime. Since many already go to the Jug, that might be a good idea. Then maybe, if we did a weekend thing, some of us who can't really "do" wednesday evenings might be able to join you. Bagpuss |

22 Nov 00 - 12:15 PM (#345175) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: Mrs.Duck We've been talking about this gathering for some time and althought her details are not finalised we can certainly count on Syd and Val at the Jug to offer hospitality if they are in residence. We will make some arrangements and look forward to seeing as many as can. It is likely to be early summer I think but that needs to be confirmed. In the meantime if any 'catters that are within travelling distance want to come to Wednesday nights they are always welcome. If you can only make weekends we could always have a mini gathering on a Friday or Saturday. |

22 Nov 00 - 07:11 PM (#345395) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: Peter K (Fionn) Bagpuss, why not convene a gathering of catters at Hebden Bridge, right on top of the Pennines, more or less? Or even Heptonstall. (How big's the White Lion?). Then we could include a pilgrimage to the grave of Sylvia Plath Hughes. By the way, do you know anything about Sunday night story-telling sessions at one of the pubs in Hebden Bridge? Part-heard a mention of it on the radio, and I've been meaning to investigate. I believe the pub name had something to do with boats in its name. |

22 Nov 00 - 07:13 PM (#345398) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: Mrs.Duck Catrin it's a well known fact that most aliens that visit earth end up in Hebden Gridge. As we speak Syd at the Jug is taking Bill Sables to look at a barn which could well be the perfect size and distance (500 yds)for a ceilidh/concert for the Yorkshire gathering so it is getting sorted Noreen, honest!! |

23 Nov 00 - 12:40 AM (#345542) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: roopoo Sorry I wasn't there last night. Hope it was a good'un! It's 5.30am as I write this: I went to bed at nine to get a good night's kip prior to the mayhem I have unleashed on myself this weekend: 4 craft stalls in 5 days, starting tonight. I woke up bright and breezy at 5, and I am about to start work again. I have 3 evening fairs and one all-day, so I'm grabbing the chance to get some work in. Next week I will be late as I have to go to Castleford first. I know the one of the neighbouring vicars, but unfortunately, being over the river, Haddlesey has made it into the neighbouting diocese as well. It could happen that they don't immediately find a new vicar. In this case (an interregnum) the nearest people usually try and cover, or they stick in a temp. They don't just send a vicar and have done these days: the church council and church wardens have to interview and approve them too! They advertise the position and offer it to those they think may be interested. But they don't have to accept. This might mean the vicar of Drax, or the vicar of Brayton (nearer) could cover. There'd be no problem, I'm sure, with the Drax guy. I've met him and he's great fun. I once saw the vicar of Brayton having his dinner in the Jug, so he's ok too! Andrea Mrs Duck - did you manage to get a copy of that photograph?

|
23 Nov 00 - 07:20 AM (#345619) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: bill\sables The problem with the Haddlesey vicar(according to Syd at The Jug) is that he preaches Hell and Damnation to those who partake of the Deamon Drink. I don't have a problem with that as I dont drink, but to hold a dry gathering in a church hall would be like signing a death warrant. But he leaves at Christmas and Syd is expecting, nay hoping, that his replacement will be one of the drunken variety of clergymen. Bill |

23 Nov 00 - 01:19 PM (#345701) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: Mrs.Duck It is possible by train, Bron but singing all the way with Noreen sounds better!! The vicar holds sway over the church hall and won't allow a bar. However on my fortieth we had a ceilidh there and we were able to bring our own which with the Jug no more than a cockstride was not a major problem. Of corse if the new encumbant lets us have a proper bar Syd will be happy to oblige. Places to stay_well there is always camping and if I remember rightly there are one or two of the locals that have done b&b in the past-worth checking!I think about four friends stayed there when Geoff had his fortieth last year. I'll ask Syd. |

24 Nov 00 - 11:31 AM (#346084) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: bill\sables Hi Mandomad, You know who I am from our meetings at Whitby The Llanstock gathering was a singaround and music session on the Friday night then a stage type concert Sat afternoon folowed by a Ceilidh Sat night, Sunday was a singaround at lunchtime The manchester one was a singaroung most of the time due to lack of venue for a ceilidh. The Yorkshire one, when it is organised will include musicians sessions, Ceilidh, Singarounds and anything else I can think of. One of AnnaP's in New Jersey included a canoe trip on the river so if we flood again that posibility might not be out of the question. Cheers Bill |

24 Nov 00 - 11:48 AM (#346100) Subject: RE: BS: UK 'Cats: Yorkshire... From: Noreen Hi, mandomad. Doesn't sound daft at all. I found it hard to imagine before Llanstock, and certainly couldn't have imagined anything quite as good as it turned out. We're inventing it as we go along! Depends v. much on who's there, but the important thing to me at each of the gatherings so far has been the possibility of everyone contributing to the whole, in whatever way, either by playing, singing, reciting, listening (lots of this required), sharing anecdotes (musical and otherwise), dancing, (with or without veils, Patrish!) providing cookies / cakes / beer / beef jerky / chocolate... have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, lending capos and plectrums, singing each others' songs... So, your answer is... whatever you want. Noreen |

My SO arrived back last night after finishing his 4 year stint out there. He said it was quite funny when it came to say goodbye, as they all just said "See you next time you're here", and there won't be a next time! He's off for a 2 and a half year stint in China on Tuesday. He got in at 8.30 last night and by 9.20 we were in the Jug. Ain't it nice to only live 5 minutes drive away?! He didn't get into dodgy Russian music, but he's been given 2 oil paintings which in my opinion are dodgy. Nothing naughty, as they're landscapes, but they remind me of those cheap garish things that Woolworths used to sell. It was bad enough when he bought one in Poland some years ago. My years at art school rear up and I have to really bite the bullet to live with these things. Anyway, the walls are full and I already have a queue of pics waiting their turn. The main problem I have at the moment is that he has arrived back with a pair of cross-country skis and I have to find somewhere to store these damn things.

He unpacked presents (I got a pashmina from his visit to China, and some nice fancy teas), had a cup of coffee, didn't go off at me for the walls knocked out and the new kitchen I had ordered in his absence, and announced he was knackered. Then he lugged his baggage (NOT me, you lot) upstairs. I told him I was off to the Jug anyway and he was at the front door almost before me! He's always ready for a beer when he arrives, and if there's time for the Jug... Andrea |
