I will be at Bedworth FF with the Shakespeare Mummers, as last year. We will be mummimg on the Friday evening, presumably during the intervals of the concert(s) and the ceilidh. Then I should be free for the rest of the weekend. The other mummers bores out there will undoubtedly be fascinated to hear that we will probably be performing the version of the Broadway Mummers Play from Worcestershire, which was collected by Miss Antionette Taylor and published in the American Folklore Journal XXII (1909)! I will undoubtedly look in on a singaround or three during the Saturday. So see many of you then. "Dancing and singing, bell ringing!" Alan |

"Mudcatters Meet After last years great meet we are again hosting a mudcatters session (for those uninitiated a sort of singing and chocolate eating session!) – it's certainly not exclusive to catters. It will take place in the upstairs room of The White Horse Saturday teatime, before the turning on of the Christmas lights ceremony. (Someone better remind me to hand over the tin of choccies this year – then again I really enjoyed eating them the week after the festival last year!)" Hope it helps. |

From: Malc Bedworth Hi all, just looking through the thread and hope I can give some useful info - TENTS - not really allowed ...... but we've got at least 3 already, the Rugby Club seem OK about it (£4 for the week-end 3pm Friday to 8pm Sunday)but MUST be booked in advance as space is strictly limited CARAVANS & CAMPERVANS - as above almost full, we are going to try and negotiate some further space, but there is a match on on the Saturday and there needs to be somewhere for the players to park (and to play!) CATTERS MEET - still looking at times, but similar timing to last year and the same excellent venue. INDOOR CAMPING - in view of the Rugby Club facility there will be much more space and comfort in the Scout Hut this year. I got in trouble last year when someone asked me what we did when it got full and I said "start another layer" - no sense of humour some people - then again! Keep the thread going and feel free to ask questions, I'll drop in and answer what I can. Cheers Malc. |

Catering should be quite exceptional (certainly exceptional for Bedworth!) on the Saturday this year as the refurbished Civic Hall now has excellent facilities and will be doing breakfasts, snacks, and even full dinners/evening meals, plus a real ale bar, and can cater for up to 200 people at a time! Catering in the Civic Hall friday is only until early evening, but if you're happy with "cheap and cheerful" there's always Wetherspoons, just down from the Liberal Club (or the Chinese or the Chippy) Malc. |

Malc's said we can run Herbaceous Border at Bedworth (Saturday afternoon and Sunday lunchtime for an hour or so) but so far I haven't managed to kidnap any musicians to play for us. Any offers - or any suggestions of who I could approach? Likely tunes are a) Uncle Bernard's (preferably) or Click Go the Shears b) Lord of the Dance c) Anything suitable for 'border style single stepping' eg Donkey Riding; This Old Man; Rakes of Mallow; the dreaded Speed the Plough .... or a whole host of other tunes. Any instruments welcome, but ideally it would include a melodeon and a drum. Anyone who wants to come along and dance (whether or not they've morris danced before) will be very welcome but we can't do it without musicians. Contact me via this thread or PM me. Please!!! Sue |

12 Nov 05 - 04:03 AM (#1602910) Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Malc Bedworth We are having a late sing at the Rugby Club this year on Saturday evening - official finish midnight (but VERY flexible - 2am has been banded about!)- Rugby Club just request that you get there by 10:30 ish as they will not allow access too late so that we don't get any of the local yobs in!. The Rugby Club seems to be a bit of a gem find for us and will certainly figure much more in next years Fest. Are there any more takers out there for stewarding we could do with another half a dozen or so helpers - email stewards@bedworth-festival.info or contact Margaret & Martin direct at martin.bushnell@which.net if you are interested.

13 Nov 05 - 07:23 AM (#1603648) Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: Malc Bedworth Hi Geoff, People will be let in (wristbands will need to be shown), what the Rugby Club are concerned about (and rightly so I guess) is that if dozens of people move from the town centre to the Rugby Club at pub chucking out time, the yobs will latch on and tag along and this would cause a problem. This is a new venue for us this year and one that we need to nurture for the future so we need to tread carefully - it's taken us 27 years to get a sensible location for campervans and we wouldn't want to loose it at the first hurdle - I'm sure you understand. You may want to get a consensus from the audience in the singaround about moving to the Rugby Club at say just before 11 as they should all be ticket holders who will be able to access the Rugby Club, or it's still not too late to change the finish time for the singaround to 10.30 (that may be the best idea as people could take a leisurely walk to the Rugby Club and be ready in good time for the start of the sing), I'm open to suggestions (as long as they are decent!) As I'm writing this I'm coming to the conclusion that 10.30 end for the pub singaround is the right thing to do. Malc. |

There'll be musicians at Bedworth who aren't MudCatters so I'm sure help will be available. Are there 'other' dance teams going? Maybe their musicians could be persuaded? |

20 Nov 05 - 07:15 PM (#1609714) Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: GUEST,Sue the Borderer Thank you both! It would be great if Ted would play for us - and I'm really trying hard to get more. I've now got the list of the other sides which will be there, so will try e-mailing them direct. The trouble is that most sane people, when they have been playing for their own side all day, don't want to go and play for a crazy lot like us afterwards. They reckon it's time for tea and crumpets ..... or, maybe, more beer. Any other suggestions from anyone for individuals I could approach - preferably before the festival - would be greatly appreciated. |

I was really starting to worry about those three tents on the campsite! Malc. |

All that effort - and I'd even got some musicians lined up (thanks folks) and I'm not there. Instead I've been snowed in, in the wilds of North Devon, with impassable roads and reports of jack-knifed lorries, huge jams, overturned cement mixers and a countryside littered with abandoned vehicles. Hope you've all had a great time. ...Maybe next year?... Sue |

27 Nov 05 - 06:04 AM (#1614578) Subject: RE: The mighty Bedworth! Who's going? From: MBSLynne There seemed to me to be less people at Bedworth altogether this year...don't know if it was to do with the weather. There were still quite a few at the Mudgather though. I did think the lack of the French Market detracted from the overall atmosphere of the place..I've really enjoyed that in the past. I was also a little disappointed in the session I looked in on in the back bar of the White Swan. Hardly anyone there. Last year it seemed to be packed and loud most of the time. Unfortunately, because I was only there for the day, I missed what sounded like rather a good party on Friday night, and I probably missed some of the other good bits too. Yes George was there.

From: mandotim Many thanks to Malc and the organising team for putting on what must be the friendliest festival in the business. We had a ball, mostly due to the succession of lovely people who shared their music with us in the sessions and from the stage. Special thanks are due to...well, everybody we met. I would mention names, but I don't know some of them! Hope to see you all again next year, although it won't be the same without the kitchen in the Scout Hut! Tim from Bit on the Side |

Only trouble was trying to be in three places at once to hear guests, sing in singarounds, grab some food, get to Mudgather - well, that's my excuse for arriving late at the Mudgather. Thanks Hils and Snuffy for all your hard work, thanks Lynne for chocolate celery. Good to hear Bit on the Side, Muppitz (especially the song about her mum)and Isambarde. Kitty |

Too much choice, so that there were not many people in the session (last year there were so many we couldn't get in - hmm) 2. So good that we stayed Sun night and had to drive home on Monday in a blizzard - dont let it happen again Malc |

Many thanks to all who came along & helped to warm the room up and especially to Snuffy for hosting the Singaround. Also for all your help in supporting the MudRaffle by bringing prizes & buying tickets. The draw & prizegiving was a bit rushed I'm afraid, I'd kinda lost track of time. We raised £40.50 & I've sent a cheque* off to Bill Sables to forward it on to Max to help with the colossal telephone bills he has every month trying to keep the MudCat running for our pleasure. (* actually I managed to make the cheque out for only £40 before I remembered the 50p, but I've promised to make it up on the next one) So good that Catters are getting into the spirit of the Chocolate tradition. Speciality chocolates aplenty, special mention to MandoTim who brought homemade ginger & sweet chilli covered chocolates & also to MBSLynne with her gin-soaked strawberries & celery. Well done too for ColK having freshly dipped celery created at the Craft Fair!! Lovely to see/hear so many Catters with their songs & tunes, hope it won't be long before we meet agaim. |
