Hi,

Although I'm fairly new to Mudcat, I am hoping to attend -- would love to meet some of the faces that go with the names & posts I've been seeing/reading.

For health reasons, I need to sleep in a space that has an electrical outlet; I'm figuring one of the B&B's is my best bet at this point, but am hoping there might be one (or 2 or 3) others who might be interested in sharing a room, which would help keep the individual costs down. (Please PM me if you're interested.)

I'll be coming from Sheffield, and would be happy to give a lift to anyone else coming from there (or thereabouts). Fibula Mattock -- if your other arrangements don't work out for some reason, let me know; you could get a train to Sheffield & I could take you from there.

(On the other hand, if there's someone from Sheffield already planning to drive, I'm quite happy to ride (if you have space) & contribute to petrol costs.)

If I turn out to be the *only* one coming from the Sheffield area, then I'll probably try to get a train to Hull -- if some kind soul could be persuaded to give me a lift from Hull to the site of the actual gathering.

BTW, had the pleasure of meeting the Ducks this weekend (at the Barnsley Folk Festival -- great singing!); we were talking about the Euro Gathering & I mentioned I'd seen their names on the list above -- with a question mark. I expect one of them will prolly come post here eventually, but I can tell you now that other things have come up and they are not planning to attend at this point.

Cheers,

YY
