Lunchtime, session bar, day, time?

Cant do late night singing sessions as I have my daughter with me after trucking around the festival for most of the day/early evening we are plumb tuckered out and this year our kind host in a neighbouring Canberra suburb is having her 60th birthday and has rels and other family staying so we have been banished to another residence in Queanbeyan.

I have been wearing my badge for two years running and the only 'catter I have actually seen, let alone met has been BoB B, who is usually busy doing his photography thing. Hence the badge thing while a bit of fun doesnt actually work to make contact happen 'cos you need to (a) either see the badge or (b) recognise the mugshot of the badge wearer or (c) be at the same type of gigs around the festival and also be able to do (a) and (b) above!

I know for moi I really like to see stuff I would be unlikely to see in the usual OZ folk settings which generally excludes much of the run of the mill trad material apart from O/seas names I've never heard of or only know by repute, or what comes across at the stock camp.............

.......speaking of which, how about a gathering/meeting of 'catters at the StockCamp at an agreed nominated time/s? That way by some sort of amazing grace, the lost sheep of the OZ 'catter family might actually be rounded up and found again.

Cheers,

Andrez
