28 Oct 04 - 07:36 PM (#1310037) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mr Happy Spendid news Mrs D! Myself & fiends will certainly try to make it next time. Very well done for your superb organisational skills. Is it the same place with the al fresco loo? |
28 Oct 04 - 09:19 PM (#1310112) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Bill the Collie For them as weren't there last year, is it a private party? |
29 Oct 04 - 03:34 AM (#1310295) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: fiddler Don't think so - I made it last year an plan to again next! Good to C U! Andy |
29 Oct 04 - 03:35 AM (#1310297) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Not at all Bill ALL are welcome even Mr happys fiends :0) It is a Mudcat gathering but we are always happy to meet any folk loving folk. There is plenty of space for vans and tents and of course the al fresco night loo is a feature!! At previous gatherings here the pub have offered cooked breakfasts and they also do excellent food at other times. The beer is great and quite honestly no excuse not to have a great time. Sometimes we have separate sog and tune sessions and at others mixed. We even had a quiz last year which may be repeated this time but scheduled earlier in the day. |
29 Oct 04 - 03:36 AM (#1310298) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Another early riser eh! |
29 Oct 04 - 05:30 AM (#1310343) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Count us in..... I love that Al Fresco feeling round the nethers at 4.00am! That poor doggie next door must wonder what the hell is going on! I will produce another quiz if requested, although maybe leave out the joining in round as it was a)too quiet on the lappie and b) too noisy in the pub! The whistles, hooters and bells will be there, so don't sit next to me if you don't like loud whistles! If you missed it, it was called 'Never mind the clues, it's all bo//ocks' and was loosely based on (in no particular order), I'm sorry, I haven't a clue, Just a minute, Never mind the bo//ocks and Sale of the Century.

29 Oct 04 - 08:07 AM (#1310438) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mr Happy Is it a new feature- the 'Sog Session'? |

30 Oct 04 - 05:30 AM (#1311281) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Susanne (skw) Snog on and enjoy yourselves! I'll be thinking of you all (or at least those I've met before). |
30 Oct 04 - 05:45 AM (#1311284) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mr Red so that's the week before Chippenham? And the Black Dog in Selby not the Black Dog in Black Dog, Devon where they have a monthly SAR and the Penyymoor singaround in June? Glad we got that sorted. |
30 Oct 04 - 06:48 AM (#1311298) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Bill the Collie Sounds good - song, sog or whatever else. Is there a good hotel nearby? |

02 Nov 04 - 11:53 AM (#1314202) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Hopefully its the kind of snog I'd expect from him too!! Collie there is a lack of hotels in the immediate area but may be some B&B places in Selby as long as you are prepared to drive back each evening. |

22 Feb 05 - 01:16 PM (#1417637) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Hi Folks, Can someone please tell me if this is a primarily traditional gathering, or would a fully paid up singer/sogwriter, who has been branded an AGB by several catters, also be welcome. Most of my sogs are a) Traditional-ish, in tone and tune, with some music hall style, and b) Humourous. Must go now, I'm feeling soggy again. Don T. |
22 Feb 05 - 01:29 PM (#1417651) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck This is a primarily Yorkshire gathering which means anything goes especially barrels of ale. Climb on board the more the merrier. |

25 Feb 05 - 02:03 PM (#1420891) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Raedwulf Isn't the continuing validity of the hug vouchers dependent on A Certain Someone's attendance (I did me best to cash them all.

A) I wouldn't, B) I know you, & C) I won't tell Micca if you don't... ;-) ) Davet - nobody made you do you anything. Especially, nobody made yer flash, yer sod! |

All i have to do now is convince 'she who must ...' that a weekend at a pub with a crowd of total strangers is a good idea and she will enjoy it. But hey, lifes too short............... |

26 Feb 05 - 07:46 AM (#1421395) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck You never snogged me Liz does that make us strangers?? |
26 Feb 05 - 08:37 AM (#1421411) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Malc R Sorry Sorcha, was it something i said? I promis not to look in your direction, provided i know which one is you. She said yes, after i explained that you were a fine upstanding bunch of ladies and gentlemen with an ear for good music and singing that would not be out of place on at a sunday church fete. I am not certain she completely beleived me though. |
26 Feb 05 - 08:43 AM (#1421416) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: MBSLynne Well if Micca's drinking the cider it must be reasonable stuff then....ok...you twisted my arm..we'll come! Love Lynne |

26 Feb 05 - 10:57 AM (#1421473) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Geoff the Duck There is plenty of room on the field at the back of the Black Dog. So far there has not been any problem fitting people in. The pub will need to know how many people to expect, so they can guess how much extra beer to order. I expect someone will start a body count closer to May. Sorcha - shame you can't make it this year. I enjoyed the sunny afternoon Old-Time session in the garden. Quack! GtD. |
27 Feb 05 - 02:54 AM (#1422089) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Mrs Duck - only because Geoff would get jealous.... or over excited.... or both. LTS |

11 Mar 05 - 05:24 AM (#1432101) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak If you make your intentions known for breakfast, that is really all that's needed, although it would be useful to have a rough idea so that the Black Dog can order in your barrel of cider. LTS |

11 Mar 05 - 12:32 PM (#1432319) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Is that what you look like after you've drunk it all? I will do a head count as time goes on and ask you whether you are intent or van etc. but it is possible to turn up. As Liz says the main reason for numbers is breakfasts which are excellent. The field is a good size but knowing who and what are attending helps us make sure everyone pitches in a suitable spot. |
11 Mar 05 - 03:16 PM (#1432479) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: MBSLynne Weill you be doing the head count before or after I drink any cider? Because if it's after, the answer may be different. |

16 Mar 05 - 02:57 PM (#1436267) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Raedwulf bd - How about some mild? You can't get mild in a London pub! Other than that, rather than thinking about a barrel or two, is it possible for a publican to get a broader selection in smaller quantity at trade price (e.g. bottled stuff)? I'm an ale/beer man, & don't go much on 'bitter' so if you get a barrel of bitter, I probably won't try it past the first pint. But if you've got a range I'll try one of each (seshpeshully hif I *hic* ain't shtried 'em be*hic*fore...) before settling on my faves (assuming I'm not parallel by then! ;-) ). I suspect most beer lovers, most folkies (is there a distinction (shaddap Khatt!) between the two?) are much the same. The CAMRA beer tent at Festival At The Edge is pure heaven precisely because, if one beer don't suit, I can finish it (of course, finish it! It's still beer, man!!) & move on to a different one... |

Manitas is staying in London. LTS |
29 Mar 05 - 10:23 AM (#1445830) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: GUEST,Mrs.Duck Well in that case I suppose I will just have to collect on behalf of all FIVE of my offspring. I would colect Geoff's but he usually gets his own! |
31 Mar 05 - 03:08 PM (#1448179) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Went to Black Dog last night and beer and cider is being sorted. The pub is having a refurb so will look all posh before we arrive and having seen the artists impression will make the area near the conservatory a lot better for singing or musicians. I need to start counting bodies tents and caravans soon so if you could pm me it would make life easier although I will also go through the thread. This is the fifth Yorkshire gathering and looks like it could also be the best so don't miss it. |
01 Apr 05 - 12:48 PM (#1449178) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Raedwulf Jane - Why would all five of your offspring, never mind Geoff, be interested in ration books, eh?

Liz - If you want to get between Cats & her ration book, I'm not bloody well rescuing you - I heard what happened to Actaeon, for a start! But anything that keeps Limpit off my back (literally) is to be encouraged (just don't push yer luck...). |
01 Apr 05 - 03:20 PM (#1449368) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Of course they don't need ration books but that won't stop me claiming!!!! |

06 May 05 - 12:13 PM (#1479464) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Only 2 weeks to go now. All the refurbs should be done by next week so we will have some good areas for singing and music sessions. Of course it will be hot by then so we will all be sitting outside and enjoying the sunshine. We are hoping to have the barbeque on Saturday night as last year as it seemed to suit most people but there is also excellent food on offer in the dining area if you want to be posh. Could we have a quick hands up for Sunday lunch jist to give an idea of numbers. As before it would be preferred if we wait until the latter end of lunchtime (around 2pm) to allow for the regular trade to finish. Anyway if you have had the cooked breakfast you won't be ready to eat before then. |

18 May 05 - 08:49 AM (#1487191) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: GUEST,Liz the Squeak 2 days to go and I'm trying to remember where the tent is...... The Quiz (Never mind the clues, it's all bo££ocks) is under construction..... hopefully we'll be too drunk to remember to do it! LTS |
18 May 05 - 11:41 AM (#1487271) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Well I thought doing it just before the barbeque would be the best time Liz. Then we can get sorted for singaround in main bar after and session in new bar. |
18 May 05 - 11:55 AM (#1487283) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Leadfingers Sadly the opportunity to be paid has got in the way again so as Samuel Goldwyn was wont to say "Include Me Out" . Work is definately the curse of the drinking classes ! |
18 May 05 - 12:06 PM (#1487288) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: pixieofdoom I'm very sorry to be missing it. Jack will be there though, with his Auntie Khatt who I'm sure will be keeping him out of trouble *g* |
18 May 05 - 12:12 PM (#1487291) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Catherine Jayne Keeping Jack out of trouble is a full time job!!...he's been terrorising my cats all week! Looking forward to the gathering.....so it Jack! |
18 May 05 - 02:25 PM (#1487393) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Bloke in the Corner I'll be popping over from North Lincs for a bit of a play. When are the best times to come for sessions? |
18 May 05 - 05:52 PM (#1487579) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Geoff the Duck Each year what happens has been slightly diferent, depending on the venue and who turns up. Friday night has tended to be everyone together, although the new layout of the pub may make people spread out further. There has usually been ome form of music playing session on the Saturday afternoon and another on the evening. Some folks pay a passing visit such as you plan to, so could be at either. There should be music happening and if not you could start it up and others will join in. Quack! GtD. |
18 May 05 - 07:13 PM (#1487630) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Should I be getting the travel basket out of the loft as well then Khatt>? LTS |
19 May 05 - 03:22 AM (#1487853) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Catherine Jayne Might be a good idea Liz although I think he will keep Limpit company on the journey. I've been trying to get him out of his wedding tartan but he decided he really likes it and won't let me get anywhere near it!! |
19 May 05 - 07:54 AM (#1487977) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: GUEST,MBSLynne Are you talking about Jack or Micca Khatt? Love Lynne |

19 May 05 - 09:02 AM (#1488042) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Les from Hull A lift has been arranged and I am to provide extra ballast for the Tedmobile, coming over early(ish) Friday evening. Sadly, Maggie will not be with us, as she has to work on Saturday. She wants to come over for Saturday evening (only) if she can get a lift from Hull. M62 - the true path! |

19 May 05 - 12:39 PM (#1488218) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Catherine Jayne Sorry Pixie....it looks as though he has already got his grubby paws on the tub of woad...I will try to return him to you in a good condition, it might be a bit difficult but we will try! |
19 May 05 - 01:06 PM (#1488261) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: pixieofdoom To be fair, he was in a pretty awful condition when I left him with you. Did I warn you to pack alka seltzer? |
19 May 05 - 02:00 PM (#1488322) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Catherine Jayne They are already packed..lets just hope they don't fiz too loud!! |
19 May 05 - 05:12 PM (#1488485) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak The basket is down from the loft, I've got the leather gloves and the stun gun ready (well I say stun gun... it's a harback copy of 'Mrs Beeton' but it has the same effect), the quiz is done, bar one question, no-one is packed, the car is a mess and I can't find my medication..... Yorkshire, here we come!! LTS |
19 May 05 - 05:50 PM (#1488508) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: GUEST,Susanne (skw, cookieless) Have fun everybody, ald greetings to all the Mudcatters I've met. I'd love to be there among you. Next year I'll have to time my annual holiday so as to include both the European and the Yorkshire gathering! |
19 May 05 - 06:06 PM (#1488526) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Geoff the Duck I've just been over to the Black Dog setting up the caravan. The Refurbs are sorted so there is more room for us in the pub. The alfresco Guzunder is in line for radical changes, but they haven't happened yet. We wil probably be there shortly after half five. See you all soon! Quack!! GtD. |
19 May 05 - 10:12 PM (#1488757) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: YorkshireYankee Looking forward to seeing everyone -- and soon! BTW, I'll be bringing along a case of Song Links 2 CDs, so anyone interested in obtaining them at the Mudcatters' special price (and not having to pay an extra £1.75 for S&H from Fellside) should come see me... Will also be bringing some yummy genuine American chocolate chip cookies (made by a genuine American, of course!) for the raffle... |
20 May 05 - 02:35 AM (#1488880) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: MBSLynne Change of plan....not coming until Saturday morning now and only staying the day....oh well, as Richard says, it's better than not going. Love Lynne |

20 May 05 - 10:23 AM (#1489144) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Car is full of petrol but empty of baggage... Setting off in 1 hour.... HELP!! LTS |
20 May 05 - 11:44 AM (#1489215) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Bloke in the Corner Well, since Mr Skippy has signally failed to get us an entry in the Brigg Fidle Fest busking competition - in which we come second last year - I will be coming to the YG for a lunchtime, about 1.00pm Anyone else be there then? |
20 May 05 - 02:41 PM (#1489390) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Firecat I'll be there tomorrow. Parents are there tonight though. |
22 May 05 - 01:24 PM (#1490627) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Micca Well, home again, after a Very GOOD time in the newly refurbished ( you know the way ththat word can be a euphemism for tarting a place up and ruining the ambience, well in this case it ISN'T they have done a lovely low key job) Black Dog, many thanks to the staff of the Black Dog for looking after us all, especially to blackdog himself and to Tracey for getting up at stupid o'clock to do breakfasts for a bunch of scruffy Folkies!! a Big Thank You also to The Ducks for organising a splendid weekend and a lovely welcoming venue, to Liz the Squeak for a memorable quiz (which our team the Hooters(dont ask) WON, Nyaaah Nayaah) and also my personal thanks to all who attended so I and My Wife could renew friendships and make some new ones. see you all next year |
22 May 05 - 01:29 PM (#1490629) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: BanjoRay Well done, Geoff and Jane. Today's high spot for me was listening to some incredible Squeaks frim Liz when Yorkshire Yankee creased everyone up with a song about glass eyes. Ray |
22 May 05 - 01:54 PM (#1490655) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: GUEST,MBSLynne Although we were only able to be there for the day on Saturday, it was most enjoyable, even though it appears to have turned my daughter into a pool-shark. Thanks Ducks! Thanks Black dog! Nice to meet yet more Mudcatters. The quiz was a laugh..and I, too was on the Hooters team, and we won!! Surprisingly good accoustics for a pub too. Not sure what happened to all the hugs that were mentioned in the thread as we built up to it..I didn't get many at all! Certainly not my fair share! Love Lynne |
22 May 05 - 02:33 PM (#1490678) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Then you will have to come back next year and try again, Lynne!! Thanks everyone that came - I have a list somewhere and I think we had about 45 catters over the weekend. As always the Black Dog did us proud and hopefully they will let us come back next year and keep them awake for another weekend. The raffle raised £50 for Mudcat (thanks Phoebe and Tig :0))No doubt photoes will be available soon. |
22 May 05 - 02:46 PM (#1490685) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Catherine Jayne Just got back....absolutely shattered but I had and excellent time! Thank you Jane and Geoff for organising another wonderful weekend and thank you to everyone at The Black Dog!! More later.... |

22 May 05 - 03:31 PM (#1490715) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Menolly Home! Unpacked! Grand and mostly black dog dropped off at my daughter's. Grandson - worn out by the weekend - slept most of the way! Now for the washing, followed by repacking for Chippenham, holiday as we travel back home via Weybridge, Banbury , Sheffield and Manchest where Hatter, my companion for the week, gets his degree from the OU! ( If you don't know - Hatter is my son) Can I have a rest in June! ----- Probably not! Lovely weekend - glad I put the gazebo up for when we were eating tea, Saturday night! Gill |
22 May 05 - 03:42 PM (#1490727) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Weather stayed fine most of the time except when Gillian wanted to eat al fresco! But for those of us who opted for the barbeque it was quite sunny if not quite the heat wave we managed last year. |
22 May 05 - 04:31 PM (#1490759) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Liz the Squeak Bloody fantastic!! I'm full of roast beef and chocolate orange cheesecake, which was incredible!

Well.. were .. there's 3 left for Manitas and I tomorrow! Thanks again. LTS |

23 May 05 - 04:13 AM (#1491088) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: John MacKenzie Well if I'd been there Lynne I would have made up your quota of hugs with pleasure, I say this safe in the knowledge that epn is too far aweay to beat me up ¦¬] Sounds like you all had a good time, may make it next year if I'm spared. Giok |
23 May 05 - 05:32 AM (#1491106) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: MBSLynne Thanks Giok...I'll hold you to that next time I see you! Yorkshire Yankee's mint chocolate chip cookies were fantastic too! Love Lynne |

Hope to be there next year... Look forward to seeing most of you at one or more of Chippenham, Bishop's Castle, Alcester, Four Fools, Portsmouth, Sidmouth, Dartmoor, Saltburn, Whitby, Towersey ... or wherever!

23 May 05 - 08:34 AM (#1491196) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Malc R Big thanks to Jane and Geoff for the organizing, and Black Dog, Tracy and Bar Staff for their stirling effort over the weekend. So many new faces and names. I've forgotten more names than people I met?? But enjoyed the weekend emensly - roll on YG2006 Malc and Barbara |
23 May 05 - 12:42 PM (#1491363) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: YorkshireYankee Echoing others' accolades and appreciation to the Ducks (including Maddie, for all the work she does on the raffle!) and to the owners & staff of the Black Dog for their patience and helpfulness. Fond memories for me... Banjo Ray's lovely background picking all weekend (whenever there wasn't something else going on), CatsPhiddle's rousing rendition of Landlord Fill the Flowing Bowl (a real high point of the Saturday evening sing), Liz & Micca's side-splitting parodies, the hot tune-session Friday evening -- kicked off by Bill Sables & Sam Pirt (what a pair!), Hacksaw Bob's magical massages reducing late-late-night Catters (including me) to wonderfully relaxed puddles, Liz's quiz, the Sunday sing, and so much more... Once again enjoyed being able to (at last!) put some faces to familiar names (now if I can just remember all the names that go with the faces!) -- as well as (of course) getting to see friends from last year again. Also lovely to see the those who met at last year's YG still together & going strong on their "first anniversary", as well as that newly-hitched "Patterson couple" (not to mention parents/in-laws!). Good Luck to Ian McFlute and Mrs Duck on their upcoming job interviews -- we're all rooting for you! Cheers -- Vikki P.S. Many thanks for the compliments on the cookies -- glad they're "going down" well! [g] |
23 May 05 - 01:36 PM (#1491406) Subject: RE: Yorkshire gathering 2005 From: Micca Vikki, bring some more next year, the only way I am ever going to taste any is if I win them in the raffle( there are some who are right tight with cookies) |
