Re all the Whitby suggestions, it looks very much as though all of those (or at least most of them)are for fringe events, which is fine as many Mudcatters inhabit these. However, for instance, I know Dick and Susan certainly frequent some of the the official ones when they come over ... for instance the ballad sessions which are on every afternoon ... but there are other delights such as the evening events "In the Tradition" at the football club ... or even the talks and films at the Museum. I hope somebody will be pointing Max in their direction as well? And some Mudcatters will, I'm sure, be on the festival official bill as well. In previous years Flying Cat certainly has been with Saro ... and so on! Hope the trip goes well - it sounds like a mammoth task to have organised it MGAS!!
