01 Oct 04 - 09:41 AM (#1285985) Subject: Banbury Folk Festival From: Alio Does anyone have any info please on Banbury Folk festival? I'm working in Aylesbury on the Saturday, so am travelling down on the Friday. As I'll be so close I thought I may as well pop into the festival on the Friday and Saturday evenings, but don't know the area at all. Can anyone help? Ali |

02 Oct 04 - 02:05 PM (#1286934) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: Herga Kitty There's a separate thread going, on the Catters' gathering that MGAS has advertised, but I know that some people who just wanted to book indoor camping or volunteer to steward before buying tickets, have had problems getting the relevant info. I hope Derek and Mary have now got these sorted. There's a really good line-up, including Cloudstreet's last festival appearance before returning to Oz. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of friends next weekend! Kitty |

04 Oct 04 - 04:51 AM (#1288049) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: George Papavgeris Ray, I spoke with Merek and Dary over the weekend, and there are still some Saturday tickets available; not many, you might want to contact them to book rather than trust on the day. Season tickets were all but sold out as of last week - I think half a dozen left, that's all. This should be really a good'un. |

|
04 Oct 04 - 06:33 PM (#1288610) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: My guru always said Kitty: Season tickets not required for the Gather / Sing in the Reindeer! A meet for Catters & Cat-friends alike, but officially recognised in the Festival Program *grin* Hope it all works OK after all this planning..... As far as we know we'll be taking over the Globe room after the Morris lunchers depart & will try to keep a sing / session (twig rules?) going till we can 'seamlessly blend' into the official Sing led by Snuffy, starting in that room at 7pm. |

06 Oct 04 - 05:55 AM (#1290024) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: Dave Bryant Does anyone know if I have to pre-book a caravan pitch at North Oxfordshire College, or can I just turn up on Friday ? A friend of ours is also interested in coming, will she be able to use the indoor camping, or again will she have to book first ? I know that the cost is £4 per night. I have tried phoning Derek & Mary, but just get their answerphone. |
|
06 Oct 04 - 07:04 AM (#1290050) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: GUEST Dave, Could I suggest that you leave a message when the answerphone kicks in, so that they know that you have been trying to contact them and will be able to get back to you and answer your query. That is what these machines are for.... |
|
06 Oct 04 - 07:04 AM (#1290051) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: MBSLynne If it has to be well-behaved adults, that lets out most of the Mudcatters I know! |
|
06 Oct 04 - 07:24 AM (#1290064) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: Dave Bryant Guest, the problem would be in knowing which phone number(s) to leave, because I don't know where I'll be when they ring me up. I assume that other people who are planning to use the college facilities (or have done in the past) will know the answer to my question and be able to give me the information faster. |
|
06 Oct 04 - 07:29 AM (#1290073) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: Scooby Doo I was told the other week to pay my dues when i arrive for camping at the college. |

06 Oct 04 - 08:45 AM (#1290129) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: GUEST,RWJ as far as i can remember you do not need to book |

06 Oct 04 - 09:26 AM (#1290154) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: alanww Dave: You asked "Does anyone know if I have to pre-book a caravan pitch at North Oxfordshire College, or can I just turn up on Friday ? A friend of ours is also interested in coming, will she be able to use the indoor camping, or again will she have to book first?" I know Derek & Mary are up to their eyes, as I have just left them doing the lamination of signs, preparing photo copying and dealing with last minutes problems etc. Anyway, I believe the answer to your question is Just turn up - first come first served! See you Friday. ""... as we roam through the valley!" Alan |

06 Oct 04 - 03:51 PM (#1290522) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: George Papavgeris It'll be good to see you, MM! I believe you are MCing my session on Friday. I just sent a load of CDs to the distributors, but there will be plenty with me at Banbury... I just hope not to have to carry them all the way back again... |

06 Oct 04 - 05:07 PM (#1290581) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: Richard Atkins Re. Caravan Pitch: No access till 6pm Friday as the College is not available till then as per the info on the festival web-site. Advise arrive sooner rather than later as when full you'll be directed to an alternative further away. |

I trust you will all make it worth his while. St Albans awaits a full report If your travelling south after Cloudstreet on Sunday you could catch Queensberry Rules in the Legion in Verulam Road. |

07 Oct 04 - 04:53 AM (#1291050) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival From: Dave Bryant I'll try and get to the college for 6pm then - at least if there's an overflow site, then I shouldn't have to tow the van all the way home. It'll be the first time that we'll have used the new (well only 13 years old) caravan - it's much posher than the old one. |
