Thank you Cats, this was on my list of to-do's today. Do we have volunteers for this years Middel Barre Peasants Collective to write a song?

Jillie and I are both dead, or worse, with colds and flu and stuff after a brilliant week at Bideford swimming baths.
Having Wailed last year for the first time. We can't wait for more. As usual tickets are the last thing to get organised, so if you're watching Grandad,please squeeze us in somewhere.

We, being me n Andy are in such a tizzle as to when and where we are, we can't find our costumes for the banquet. We think they may be on the IW but not sure.

We can sort Andy, but does anyone have anything suitable for the ah...er.......um...... slightly bigger and shorter than average female. Actually I am no where near bloody average!

Sadly Dave and I will not be going after all so we have 2 spare tickets if it's not too late to get them to anyone. Dave is not well. Its not entirely clear what it is but probably some sort of unusual hernia according to the doctor. We tried him camping at Shrewsbury and I had to run him home after just one night, (not an option from Dorset) so we will miss you all
love
Ann and Dave

I've been trying to contact the organisers - I sent my form & dosh off before Sidmouth and not yet had a reply.

The 'Contact Us' link doesn't work and I can't get an answer on the telephone number provided.

Any ideas?

Oddly enough, I know my way when drink partaken is, but I never drive when I do... so I'm sort of stuck. I just about remember it, and at least I'll remember the bits I've been to before.

We're leaving as soon as possible on Friday - i.e., when the child is upright and conscious, so that's about midday.

You will no doubt have seen this thread
Colin's Song
Has anyone cobbled a tune together so perhaps we could hear and perhaps join in, during WW.
His sad demise was announced during the sing last year and it seems appropriate to remember him in this way.

Having just posted the above I sat and sang it to Tom Lewis's "Recal" / Shanty Man" and with a bit of poetic and musical licence I think it goes.

Oh no! Its the last mile that is the difficult bit at least it keeps the non folkies away.
Well one things for sure Jacky and I are looking forward to it and with a bit of luck I might avenge last years humiliation when all I did was to praise My Leige on the vastness of his member. Not as was mis-reported .
