Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: lady penelope Date: 23 Apr 01 - 04:59 PM Custard ! No one mentioned custard ! Oooooh! Parker! Get out my 'souwester' and ladle! TTFN M'Lady P. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 23 Apr 01 - 04:45 PM This really is going to be some 'DO' If everyone that says they are does come we should have over fifty Mudcatters and partners. Althought the Jug is not a big pub we will have full use of both bars and the dining room and the marquee in the beer garden so there will be plenty of places to go to sing or play . There will be an elastic programme for the weekend but at the end of the day it will be what YOU make it (yes you with the beard! and you with the fancy trousers!)There will be music sessions, there will be singarounds, and everything inbetween including belly dancing, the custard workshop and other things we will make up just for the hell of it! So if you haven't already decided to come decide NOW! THanks Jane |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 Apr 01 - 10:28 AM Great-looking forwarfd to seeing you both and Panzer of course. Jane |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: GUEST,Sue vG Date: 22 Apr 01 - 08:36 AM Computer's been down for a couple of weeks - it felt like we were incommunicado! We would like to come to the gathering, we have a camper van (affectionately known as the Panzer!) Bob will probrably bring his Northumbrian pipes so let us know if there any objections to animal cruelty - they only SOUND like a cat being strangled! Looking forward to seeing you again Noreen and Cat - Terry says hurry up and come back to the Ducie! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Terry K Date: 22 Apr 01 - 01:59 AM Noreen, you know me too well - it's a fair cop guvnor. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Noreen Date: 21 Apr 01 - 12:44 PM Terry, if your 'handicapped' friends are the ones you play golf with... then the moral issue is for you to decide. After all, you spend so little time in that activity compared with playing music... |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Skipjack K8 Date: 21 Apr 01 - 11:08 AM Good to hear ya, Betty!! Been hiding up, playin' a few tunes. Still can't get on at work, and Mrs Skipjack wields a mean rolling pin 'round here. She's taken the dog from hell (hull?) for walkies, so I snuck on. I will do me level best to get there for the Saturday night hootnannay, but as it's only two weeks after the Munster Hop, my reservoir of goodwill at home will be near empty Please come, with bratling and him indoors! Skipjack (about 2 miles sarf of you, john from hull) |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Geoff the Duck Date: 19 Apr 01 - 06:45 PM Any funds beyond the small amount of expense required to run the gathering will go back to Mudcat. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: mousethief Date: 19 Apr 01 - 06:32 PM Mrs. Duck, I might donate if the cause is right. What's the cause again? Alex |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 19 Apr 01 - 06:28 PM If anyone has anything they would like to donate as a raffle prize we would be grateful-maybe your latest CD like Bill or dough like Mouldy or embroidery like Mrs Cobble in fact anything that may be worth winning and raises money for mudcat. |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: nutty Date: 17 Apr 01 - 05:08 PM I'm hoping to make it for Saturday - just me and my camper. Hopefully the dogs will be with me neighbour. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 17 Apr 01 - 05:06 PM It's certainly looking good and thanks to those who are volunteering to help! Jane |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Morticia Date: 17 Apr 01 - 03:53 PM Ours is a big tent too Jane, hope it won't be a problem and of course I will help clear up or anything else that's needed.....ooooh, I'm THAT excited!!!! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: lady penelope Date: 17 Apr 01 - 01:44 PM I'd be delighted to help clear up after the ceilidh. I'm good at cleaning, I can supervise two, three people at a time! ( Narf ). No, really, push that broom, tote that black bag...... TTFN M'Lady P. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 17 Apr 01 - 12:29 PM Sure we'll fit you in and looking forward to meeting you all |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: KingBrilliant Date: 17 Apr 01 - 10:10 AM Hi all. I'm negotiating with King as to whether we can come or not. He is warming to the idea (it takes a while to trickle the idea into his head.....). Will let you know for sure as soon as I know. - But things are looking hopeful as King remarked the other day that Hammerite had better get practicing harder on the uke banjo that Bill procured for her after Llanstock.... It would be lovely to see everyone - so I'm X-ing my fingers hard. We'd be camping, so we need a space if possible. I'm afraid its a big bell tent, so we'd need an area of about 13 foot diameter - but if no space then we'll improvise. Kris |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: JeZeBeL Date: 16 Apr 01 - 03:39 PM I'll volunteer, If I'm still standing that is!! :) Emma xxx |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 16 Apr 01 - 02:18 PM Glad to hear it Emma. I was a little unsure Morty - should we need to drink several barrels of cider now we've seen Micca to get over the shock!!!!:) Just over four weeks to go everyone! Please can I have volunteers to clear up the hall after the ceilidh. If we all get involved it shouldn't take very long at all. Thanks Jane |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: JeZeBeL Date: 16 Apr 01 - 02:12 PM Jane, I think Syd should order SEVERAL more barrels of beer and cider for the weekend as I will be camping(so please save me a space) and will not have to drive home every night. I'll have about 5 months drinking to catch up on in the space of a weekend, you can all help me of course, but I do like a lot of cider, n I'm one hell of a drinker when I get going!! ;) Emma xx P.S - Mrs.Duck I have pmd u about the beer shortage. It's all in hand |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Linda Kelly Date: 16 Apr 01 - 08:48 AM As we speak there are loud knocking noises coming from the garage. It is my husband john, feverishly working away, as he has done for the passed 24 hours, fitting a back seat/bed to the VW Devon 1972. Oh, it is with gladness that I realise that that length of chain and the handcuffs have finally come in useful. Another 6 hours and I will pass him his second bowl of gruel and maybe the odd chewed bone that the dog has finished with. Damn! the knocking has stopped, I must go now, baseball bat in hand, to make sure he continues with the good work! (Actually, I am posting this thread to let Les know that we should be ok to give him a lift as we now have the means!!! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: John Routledge Date: 15 Apr 01 - 08:31 PM Pam Broon is enquiring if there will be a Mudcat Widow's Group at the Yorkshire Gathering?? GB |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Dave Wynn Date: 15 Apr 01 - 08:15 PM Could I reserve a tent space please. Vango Force10 MK II. Not very big just cosy enough for me and my partner. It's our wedding anniversary on the 17th May so it's a good date for us....Fri and Sat please....(if no space is available please let us know so I can arrange alternative....!!) Hope to see you all there.... Spot. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Morticia Date: 15 Apr 01 - 06:15 PM well, now you've seen Micca first hand ( so to speak) I would recommend several barrels of cider.... |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 15 Apr 01 - 05:53 PM Anyone reading the thread about lack of beer at the Jug should be assured this is a very temporary state and there will be no shortage for the gathering in fact Syd will have several barrels ready just in case we get some heavy drinkers in. Perhaps we should order a few more just in case!!!Not that I'm casting any nasturtiums... |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Geoff the Duck Date: 15 Apr 01 - 05:18 PM 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. Quack GtD |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: GUEST Date: 13 Apr 01 - 02:34 PM How about Cat - a Liszt |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Micca Date: 13 Apr 01 - 02:24 PM Finally, I am home, can I say a big thank you to everyone at the Jug, who made us feel so welcome when we visited... It was great to add more faces to the list and to renew some older acquaintances. too, I didnt have the camera, as I discovered I was going to be in Manchester, unexpectedly and I phoned Noreen and said, "what do you think of surprising them at the Jug??" so there we were, My entry for name that beer is !Cat-atonia! If it is anything like the Cider.......WOW!!!!!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING II From: Mrs.Duck Date: 13 Apr 01 - 11:50 AM Well if it isn't Nick, wedding photographer to the poor and famous!!
