Thread Name: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II
For anyone who, like Nick Scaife, is not aware - an explanation. Last year some Mudcatters who live in th UK decided that instead of being anonymous typings on a computer screen, they would like to join the pseudonyms up to some real faces, so it was suggested that someone should oprganise a get-together. Llanfair finally drew the short straw and organised a Mudcat get together in Wales, which has since been referred to as Llanstock. It was very successful, so in November there was another gathering at Swinton, Manchester.
At this Jane (Mrs.Duck) suggested that we should orghanise a gathering in Yorkshire, based at the Jug Inn, Chapel Haddlesey, (near Selby). Both Jane and myself have hosted weekends to celebrate birthdays and knew how well Syd treats "folky" people.
There are a lot of mudcatters who live close to the Jug or visit regularly, so we discussed suitabe dates and came up with this particular weekend.
There is space on the beer garden for tents and caravans and also b&b within a reasonable distance. We would appreciate an idea of numbers who are intending to come along so that field space can be allocated.
