Hi all!

I've been running through the thread and trying to compile a "running list". As far as I can determine it looks like this at present:

Probables

Bill Sables Noreen MudGuard Eric the Viking Skipjack K8 Les from Hull Maggie Geordie Broon Llanfair Susanne (skw)

Possible

Raggytash McGrath of Harlow John in Hull Ickle Dorritt Brid widder Malcolm Douglas JulieB Treaties Mrs Duck Geoff the Duck

This already looks very promising and as yet we don't have some of the European 'Catters in touch!

Friends 5 minutes down the road from us have also offered a couple of beds and floor space. There is also a possibility that our neighbours across the road will offer use of their house for sleeping as they are currently working in Germany.

I'm going to enquire about use of one of the local Commune's performing spaces as mentioned in the first post in this thread. We may need it if numbers are high although I have more space in my house than we had for performing in the restaurant in Muenster last May. It may be also that singers and musicians would like the opportunity for separate "sessions" as was the case at the Yorkshire Gathering and that too should be possible to accomodate if needed.

I'll continue to refresh this thread from time to time.

Sinsull (and any other US/Canadian 'Catters), you would be very welcome although I know of no airline that will allow you on board wearing a Gille's costume (they are worried about the offensive use of oranges!)

Pavane, sorry I didn't reply earlier. Yes it was me you helped sell the melodeon for (OK the secret's out - I too tried to learn the melodeon and this will do my reputation no good at all! (;>))

All the best to all,
