Hello all,

Following highly successful Loughstock I-III Mudcat Gatherings in the lovely setting of Portaferry, Co. Down, N. Ireland, it is now time for Loughstock IV.

However, this is no ordinary Loughstock. This one co-incides with my 30th birthday and Bassic's 50th birthday, so we are combining them to have a grand Mudcatting 80th birthday, namely LOUGHSTOCK FOUR SCORE!

There are lots of details and I have them on a web site - I just have to put the web site on some web space, and as soon as I figure out where that'll be, I'll post the link.

In the meantime:

WHAT: Mudcat gathering and significant birthday celebrations

WHERE: Portaferry, Co. Down, N. Ireland

WHEN: 3rd-5th February 2006 (dates non-negotiable as thats when we were born)

More to follow!!
