My friend Mr Google is not finding a Knockholt 2010 fred yet, although I am sure Woodsie posted teh dates, so here goes.

Looking forward to it already, but not planning megacooking (merely megadrinking)

Looking forward to it too. should be our little caravan's second outing with us. Pig's Ear should be first.

I believe it starts on 16th. June (the day before my Old Age pension kicks in).
I'll be at Deal for the first few days (going for a meal at my favourite restaurant on 17th. June to celebrate my 65th. Birthday then the Deal Folk Club on 18th) but may show up on Saturday.

Why haven't we had a confirm of dates. I need to know date for the autumn Knockholt because I am being very tempted by the Wareham Wail first weekend in September.

As Jogn says summer Knocholt is from 16th - 20th June, and Autumn is from 8th to 12th September. I think the Wail is the weekend before.

Can I just say to this posting, that this is a private Flokmob camp, we do invite specials friends that we have known over the years on mudcat. These are always welcome, but to re state this is a private folkmob event. as in 'The Folkmob' Eltham london SE9.

It had not until now occurred to me that fisheye's post might have been intended to be an official request from the folkmob to take the fakebook site down. Was it?

RB I think that would be a good idea, before such things could get out of hand. JB you know you are one of our special guest's your melodic voice helps keep the sheep happy.

Nooo, there is no misery at Knockholt. Not unless it rains all weekend, but that has never happened (much).

Don't fret, fisheye was rightly concerned - if I drew the right inference - that a facebook page for knockers could lead to unexpected consequences - like 2,000 people turning up on a field with 3 portaloos. Stranger things have happened in facebook-land.

It is a private gathering for members and friends of the "Folkmob" folk-club, and it's only planned and prepared as such - all fokies are welcome really, but let Folkmob know if non-members / regulars want to attend in numbers - else we will all be crapping in carrier bags and the like.

Message Ladyraffles on here or fisheye, or woodsie or email [e-mail]

Peace and harmony...

Royston et al : "crapping in carrier bags and the like." Not a very nice thought at all. Still, its more dignified than the sheep who were doing it everywhere on that Thursday morning a couple of years ago.

are we invited? I know we were last year and we were caravan guests of Fisheye and FairMaid. But now we have our own van, are we still invited? How does one get membership to Folkmob?


p.s. I quite liked the misnomer Flokmob especially in relation to the ovine fixation of Knockholt threads

VT and TSO, you are part of the fabric of this merry band of delinquent noise-makers, as well you know...

Everyone is welcome, I think there were concerns about a facebook page for it, that's all. Concerns that it might run ahead of anyone's will and desire to "manage" a folk "festival" - which Knockholt isn't.

Subject: RE: Knockholt 2010
From: VirginiaTam
Date: 19 May 10 - 01:59 PM

ya know... the Facebook page could be by invitation only and I just looked... there is no indication of exactly where the campsite is. We certainly got lost enough trying to find it with directions. Pity the one who tries to crash it with no knowledge of where it might be.

TY Royston... I is one of da fambly now.


I still like flokmob.

The FB page is now "secret". I will need to fathom the deletion process. I am doubtful about tagining.

To the best of my knowledge I am a Folkmob member of some years standing. The relevance of this is less than wholly clear in that last year I was told that it was actually Lady Raffles and Mick's private party and that decisions were not a matter for anyone else.

For 16 yrs the FM knockholt has been running as an enlarged family gathering. It has grown as the club grew. Mudcat introduced new folk music loving friends to our little family.
You folks know who you are and where we camp.

That's it..lets keep it a little quiet and enjoy what we have.

RB decisions are made by the FM committe, like most things you will always get the few jumping up and down shouting it's my ball and you cannot play.

You'll have to find it first.   And if your sound system needs repairs I'll have my trusty chainsaw and axes with me.

I think permit is needed if you are felling trees or scavenging wood in forest. I don't think a ranger will come onto privately owned land after someone cutting up purchased wood.

Great stuff I fanally managed to contact Breda O'Toole and she said that she will be coming with her other nurse mates from Bromley! they haven't been for a couple of years but said they are looking forward to getting stuck into the free booze! I think it's going to be a great Knockholt.
