I will TRY to get Wild Flying Dove interested----I quite fancy it personally,but it's a long way to go ,and it would need to be "half term" ( for Karen ).

I gather the A 303 is to be closed between Chiclade and Mare for 14 weeks. As this will not help those going to the reunion, the Highways Agency must have known about it !!! :>)
Plan B for those going on this route ?

Will be coming down mid-week to see the outlaws: my first reunion an a'. Looking forward to it.
There's always the A30 as well as the A303 and M5: we used to turn off at Taunton and "come over the top" to Honiton then Sidmouth, but your as quick (and less car-sick) going down M5 to exter then heading East!

Oh, for me old mate ,LEM(A) Robin Tedbury of the Winter Gardens (now Browns Bar) in Fore Street,with whom I used to stay ----silly sod died years ago !! (My turn next !!).But seriously-----where could we stay ?? Could bring the caravan down, but probably fucking cold , what?? Getting too old !!

Ever so glad to hear a definite date.

I asked Tony when I ran into him at the Exmouth Folk Club (well worth a visit - the folk club, not necesarily Tony) but he claimed I'd asked him too late when he'd already drunk too much and could no longer remember things like that.

Will do my best to get there this year as I missed out last year.

With a link to a different thread - I might even get a chance to try one of my only two "winter songs" which both have pagan overtones/undertones or something.

Well, thanks to MGAS 's fleeting visit to the Seven Stars at Knowl Hill on Thursday ( Fabulous evening !! Herga Kitty & Derek, trio Dave & Alison Fenner & Simon Diegan, and Jim MacClean !!), it seems that Wild Flying Dove is now amenable to the idea of attending , IF anyone out there can point us in the direction of a good,CHEAP,B & B ! Mere teachers and elderly, unemployed ex-matelots can't afford the RY & F, unless they are doing a special package ??

Stayed in the Canterbury Guest house on Salcombe Rd once during a big family celebration: it was fine and reasonable price. V handy for the Radway, not too far from the Anchor. There's a whole row of guest houses/B & Bs on the road up to the Volunteer from town too. But as Kitty says, the local tourist office will prob sort you out.
If you have a car and don't mind driving, we have friends in Tipton who do farmhouse B & B too.

Hi Kitty !! Karen has a friend who has suggested a holiday cottage near, if not actually IN,the Bedford, for about £ 133-00 for two nights ( 4 people, 1 X double & 1 X Twin ).If it's still available, it looks like a good deal to me !! ( Handy for the Anchor Bar !). And Herself likes the idea of a sea view !! We shall see ! I tried your link (thanks) but there was bugger -all in our price range !!(When will these pillocks acknowledge that we are entering a recession ??). All we need now is another couple to share the the cottage !!
               See you soon (I hope !)

I could bring down my B/C button accordion, and will try to follow tunes tho' the basses don't often accord with the right hand in said instrument!
