Subject: Wareham I? From: Morticia Date: 27 Jun 09 - 07:03 AM It's time to count yourself in to another lovely weekend of singing, jollity and rum and shrub, not necessarily in that order. Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September http://www.wail.org.uk/index.php Come and join in the singing with some of the country's finest traditional singers, all hand picked from folk clubs and festivals around the country, some well-known, some not heard of, but all of a high standard.Everything on one site: move from sing to sing. Campsite, Bed & Breakfast and food tents all within easy reach. Come and join us, you know it makes sense. |

Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: GUEST,George Henderson Date: 02 Jul 09 - 05:36 AM I along with 2 of my sisters and one friend will be there this year. It is my first visit although the others are regulars. I am coming over from Ireland. Tried to book on the internet but it will not let me complete the form. Do I wait or send cheque by snail mail or what do you suggest? My sisters are Beryl Bennett and Carole Atkinson and the friend is Ron Jackson. I have a rather large camper (some 6.5 metres long and 2.5 metres wide and Beryl needs electricity because of sleep apneoa. I here you have experienced this before but Carole suggests that I give plenty of warning about the size of my camper. Really looking forward to ths event. That makes 9 now if I count correctly. Enough to have a whale of a time I think. |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Morticia Date: 02 Jul 09 - 07:03 AM Hi George, the booking form should be up in the next week or so to book directly online. I will try to keep everyone posted on that. Size of camper should not be a problem but I am not sure about electricity. I will have a word with one or two peoples and get back to you. |

Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: GUEST,Noreen Date: 11 Aug 09 - 08:52 AM Won't be with you this year, unfortunately, as Stewart and I will be wrapped in Aromatic Moor Mud that weekend instead... Our problem is that there is only one weekend per week! (As somebody said at Sidmouth- or was it at Lechlade... or...) |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Herga Kitty Date: 11 Aug 09 - 03:41 PM I hope Morti will be well recovered by 4th September, so that she and Idris can celebrate a wooden anniversary in Verwood! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Jock O' Dreams Date: 11 Aug 09 - 04:07 PM Anne and I will be there from the Saturday, fresh from my Daugthers wedding at the Larmer Tree on the Friday. I may still be in Kilt and full regalia!!! Jim |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Severn Date: 11 Aug 09 - 05:27 PM Alas, I won't be able to make it over for reasons medical and financial, but I'll be there in spirit. A wonderful time and highly recommended! I'll come back someday without the sore throat and with a lot of new songs to try out on you. Maybe not as Jack's guardian this time, though, but I hope the rascal makes it there this year. And someone please eventually tell me of the fate of this year's boar's head. |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Herga Kitty Date: 11 Aug 09 - 05:57 PM Severn - we'll drink a toast to you. We might even sing a song about the toasted Severn Bore (boar?)when we've worked out in which direction the tide is flowing, and if you don't consider that to be in appallingly bad toast. Kitty xx PS Jack was looking alarmingly respectable at Sidmouth. I think he might just be biding his time. |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Severn Date: 11 Aug 09 - 07:13 PM As a Corpus Crispy, I could say I've been toasted enough already, but I won't, and I'll cherish the rememberance instead. I don't mind the Severn Bore references, as I like to keep current. Range of motion is coming back through daily PT torture (torcher?) stretches and the compression shirts are hot itchy and painful, but I'll grin this one down like I did the cancer and the diabetes. I have to regain a longer shelf-life to travel and camp. That and find some money that the docs forgot to ask for. But I'll be back. |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Cats Date: 11 Aug 09 - 07:35 PM Jock looking forward to seeing your full regalia. I went to a wedding from the wail a few years back and that caused some hilarity. |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Morticia Date: 12 Aug 09 - 01:43 AM thanks for your good wishes, kitty, not at all sure what kind of shape i'll be in by then so having to play it by ear. if we don't make it, i hope you and derek also have a wonderful anniversary. |

Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Herga Kitty Date: 31 Aug 09 - 05:53 PM Well, it's a consolation going back to work tomorrow after Whitby to know that I'll be wailing next weekend! Only 4 days to go...... Kitty |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Cats Date: 01 Sep 09 - 08:48 AM No one has asked me to get the cream this year. I have sent a message to Alan so I hope someone has organised it. |
Subject: RE: Wareham I? - Wareham Wail 4th - 6th September From: Phot Date: 01 Sep 09 - 10:37 AM Only three days to go now! Hurrah!! Wassail!! Chris |
