The first thread about Llanstock 2001 can be found by clicking here (messages=99).

For those who don't know, The first UK Mudcat weekend gathering took place this time last year in Llanfair Caereinion, 10 miles west of Welshpool, North Powys, Wales. Whilst Bron (Llanfair) was planning and coordinating the event, it took on a life of its own, and a relation suggested that it was Llanfair's own version of Woodstock, hence Llanstock.

Llanstock Mk 1 was more successful than I think anyone could have imagined, and many great friendships were made which have continued and developed over further mudcat gatherings since, drawing more mudcat friends in along the way.

Mudcat history buffs might like to re-read the original threads where the idea of a 3D mudcat UK gathering was first hesitantly suggested...
