Barbara there is no deadline just arrive! If you are camping a day or twos notice is all I need to make sure people space themselves appropriately! That said anyone who turns up unannounced will be fitted in I'm sure and all very welcome! This is turning into a mega gathering - woopee!!

Of course if you can't wait that long to see everyone you could come to the Wheel in Golcar on Saturday 15th March for a day of song. two sessions from 1.30 till 5ish and from 7 till late ish. Similar in format to the front room of the Plough/Tap & Spile during Whitby Folk Week. With a raffle or two thrown in to raise money for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat. Phone [phone] for more details !!!!!
Sorry Mrs Duck for "borrowing" your thread, slapped legs to follow !!!

Had a great night in the Black Dog last night. Gave the landlord and landlady (Gary and Tracy) a small taste of what they could expect only we warned them there would be a lot more of us and we would be invading every part of the premises!!!
Various queries were answered regarding facilities too
1. Drainage is superb so no worries about waterlogging at all
2. There is a disposal point for chemical toilets which also has a very basic outside toilet (no roof so we will bring golfing umbrella and promise no dinosaurs!!)
3. It is a Tetleys pub so one pump has to have that the other three plus two mobiles can have what we like from guest list so Geoff and I will discuss that with them in good time for the weekend (Abbotts and IPA on last night)Cider is Strongbow (no scrumpy)
4. Good chance that Tracy will serve cooked breakfasts if people are interested - haven't fixed any prices yet but will sort nearer the time and get a rough idea of numbers wanting it.
5. Unlike last two years there will not be a meal organised for the Saturday evening but the pub does great food at reasonable prices so don't envisage a problem.
12 weeks to go.

Dear All,

Just checking practicalities here.

If I come (I enjoyed the last two immensely) it will probably be as a foot passenger on the Zeebrugge Hull ferry...arriving Friday am and leaving Sunday 19h00. Can anyone advise on travel connections to Selby and is there a convenient B&B nearby? This will help me decide on attending.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm sure a space could be found for you in a tent, moo dear... :0)

Seriously, I can bring a spare tent and all the accoutrements for you if you wish to stay on site.

Do we get as good a view of the cooling towers from this new location as from the Jug, Jane? Cooling towers at night can be so atmospheric...

Hi JJ- you owe me an e-mail!

mooman - Richard
I'm sure Noreen is right. If someone local can help with the transport from the ferry to Selby, I shall be bringing a campervan so I could very easily also pack a tent, along with a bed and sleeping bag! I could even pack some extra bacon for butties at breakfast! You would be very welcome! We can discuss it further at Portaferry at the weekend.

Following a review of our much-overstretched finances it now appears, sadly, that I may have to forego this years's Yorkshire celebrations, coming as it does shortly after Portaferry and Groeningen.

Many thanks, however, to Noreen and alanww for your kind offers!

Wishing everyone a great time in May!

Is there space in the B&B still or do I have to book a campspace? Could someone send me a phone number please?

If I camp and Manitas doesn't come I will have room for 2 bodies in the East Wing of the tent.

This is a web site for B&B's the one,s at Barlow or Bawtry Rd or Brook St are all a short drive way you WILL need a car or organise a Taxi to collect and take you where you want to go.
Camblesforth is a very long village with at the top end a large housing estate and a power station.
It is very much like the Jug and the George & Dragon for transport so you will need to make arrangments if you are going to consume alchol and travel
