Many thanks Kitty, glad you got home safely!
What a lovely Gather it was, and yes, JUST enough time to get around everyone Once!! Seems crazy for a 3 hour session, but we did have a fair few Catters & Potential Catters turn up. As we were coming up to Draw time I was scooping up Catters who still hadn't sung and didn't manage to get MalcBedworth & Gill to sing before they had to leave for duties, for which I apologise profusely. I hope I didn't miss too many others, more apologies if so. Can't believe I didn't notice the sultry Blonde by the Bar at the start, I'll never live that one down....
Thanks so much to all who came, and stayed! Boy, was there some talent in the room *grin* Oh, and lots of chocolate (hurrah)!! Did everyone enjoy the 'dog-poo' lookalike?
The MudRaffle raised £88 which I'll transfer into MudCat funds asap. Thanks so much to everyone who brought prizes & bought tickets and especially to my Right-hand Partner in Crime, the lovely Selchie-(RS).
I'll pop the register on here in a couple of days when I've caught up with other stuff.
Awful that the Town & Country was robbed that night!! I understand that the cash from the machines & pool tables was taken & that the thieves vandalised the place too. Hope they get what they deserve. Our Hosts were Fabulous & looked after us all really well on the Friday & Saturday, even to the extent of providing free food - as they did last year I recall.
Major thanks to Merek'n'Dary and all their hard-working Elves for another Fine Banbury Festival, keep up the good work!
BTW, I managed to mislay a denim shirt (pale denim with an off-white corduroy collar, designer label on the inside) at Saturdays late night sing at Hanwell. Colin didn't find it on clear-up so we figured someone might have picked it up to pass on to me, anyone any ideas?
