Latest news: Gather time should be around 3.30 - 6.30pm in the Town & Country Club on the Saturday. Hopefully Sue and her Herbaceous Borderers (this means you, AnnieCat & bubblyrat) will be able to get along and join us either before or after the dance sessions - we ought to be able to revive the weary dancers with Chocolate *grin*

Cllr: not sure what your timings are for your mixed session (presumably in the Reindeer) but as the Gather spans 3 hours, maybe you'll be able to get along at some point!

Geordie-Peorgie & the Lovely Shirl: we're ganna miss ye Man, can ye not pop in fer a bevvie? (apologies for the dreadful accent)

Mr & Mrs Scarecrow: We'll do our best to warm up the Town & Country for you and will try to clear up the remaining Chocolate before you start the evening Sing - it's a hard job, but someone's got to do it....

Seaking: I recall there being some hardy folks in tents at Hanwell Fields last year, but I have to say the indoor camping would probably be much more comfortable. See you early in the weekend for a quick Heron!

Phot & PoD: So glad you'll be at Banbury & hope you'll get to the Gather. Late night sessions at Hanwell Fields last year were fantastic!! The stewards seemed quite happy with the way we conducted ourselves (everyone was happy) & so hopefully it'll be the same this year. Brilliant acoustics in the hall at the school as I recall - or was that the Port? (ah yes, Bonecruncher - we'll be suitably equipped)

Fee Lock: Glad you'll be coming to Banbury, you'll have a Fab time, excellent dancing at this festival!! Accomodation at Hanwell fields (take a look at the information page on the website) is wonderful but I wouldn't call the distance to the town hall walkable from there, but then I'm not even fit enough to dance! But fear not, the free shuttle bus for ticketholders should be operating till all events have finished so there shouldn't be any problem for you getting back to the campsite at Hanwell Fields after the ceilidh.

Hope you're all collecting your Chocolate & Raffle Prizes!!!
