Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Geoff the Duck Date: 22 May 01 - 08:20 AM Mudcat Gathering Photos I would like to get a selection of photos from the weekend gathered together on a corner of my "Almost" web site, with suitable captions and names. Because of my abrupt departure, I do not have much other than FRIDAY EVENING. If you have taken any suitable snaps PLEASE send copies to me so I can compile an online record of the gathering. Also, any anecdotes from the weekend might be of interest. Post them elsewhere, by all mmeans, but please send me a copy also. Many Quacks!!!! Geoff the (lame) Duck.

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: roopoo Date: 22 May 01 - 03:10 AM By the way, Spot the Dog, I got your CD. No, I haven't burnt it yet: I have even listened to it! I was driving the car at the time and it didn't cause me to crash, so I suppose I might as well keep it!!! Andrea |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: roopoo Date: 22 May 01 - 03:07 AM I said it then, and I'll say it again - never wear trousers to a belly dance workshop when you've got bandy legs! Seriously, great pics, Micca! You even made me look reasonable, and that takes a true artist. Andrea |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: GUEST,magician Date: 21 May 01 - 07:24 PM NO. I was not driking out of it. Why me still guest when cookie reset. |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: lady penelope Date: 21 May 01 - 05:51 PM Ok, I missed it. So WHEN'S THE NEXT ONE? I'm all jealous now, but you'll be glad to know I have prokaryotes and eukaryotes down pat now! Things looked great on the piccys. Noreen, you're right Micca's captions are far too diplomatic! Feed crumbs to those of us who missed it!!!! TTFN M'Lady P. |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: GUEST,Willa Date: 21 May 01 - 05:45 PM Thanks for the piccies, Micca; great to be able to put faces to names - I'll know who to look out for at Cleethorpes, Beverley, Whitby... |
|

|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: John J at home Date: 21 May 01 - 03:46 PM Got to the site where the piccies are, but I can only view the text.....no piccies. Hrmph |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: John J at home Date: 21 May 01 - 03:35 PM Struggling to get at the piccies Micca... |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Micca Date: 21 May 01 - 02:57 PM So my pot has gone AWOL??? anyone got it drop me a PM and I will pay for postage as it is Vital for the enjoyment of Festivals... First the rumours published here are mostly UNTRUE!!!!well some of them are untrue...I had a most comprehensively wonderful weekend of singing, meeting people I had wanted to meet(at last) drinking a little Cider!!!! and listening to some truly outstanding singing, and especially Saturday afternoon and Sunday lunchtime, in the photos there are 2 pix of us singing the choruses of "Rolling Home" where we had all linked hands that has become a tradition at gatherings and is sung at the last session...Wonderful... There are some pictures at this site... some of Miccas Yorkshire gathering pix Click here |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: MMario Date: 21 May 01 - 02:38 PM ??? do I understand that they are going to KEEP the "MudCat DT's" label???????!!!!????? |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Tig Date: 21 May 01 - 02:32 PM You were wrong about declaring the gathering closed on Sunday night! Cobble declared he had just had the last pint at about 2pm this afternoon!!!! He felt that as the last 9 of Mudcat had been put on we ought to drink at least some of it. The probability is that Sue is going to brew some more of it to go to some of the beer festivals. It will keep the original name so watch out for it. |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: GUEST,magician Date: 21 May 01 - 01:32 PM i had to use loki to gain access |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: GUEST,magician Date: 21 May 01 - 01:31 PM just got home, great weekend, we eventually proclaimed the proceedings over at 12:00 GMT. i wonder what happened to Micca's Pot? |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: mooman Date: 21 May 01 - 10:56 AM Finally got home all in one piece despite the &%#$*@! Eurostar getting stuck in the tunnel for an hour and a half! Many thanks to all concerned for a great weekend, especially Sid and Val, Mrs Duck for the organizing, Bill for very kindly putting me up (up with me?) and ferrying me around and all the fantastic music and song from all those too numerous to mention individually. I have some very special photos from Patrish's bellydancing class for which I provided some utterly fake, very vaguely Easternish-sounding music. When duly processed I will scan and post these and I am sure they will quite memorable. What was that pose? Happy face and smiling hips or something like that?!! Lady McMoo has heard some of the stories (censored of course) and has become quite jealous. Liz the Squeak! I missed you and you promised to wear leather for me specially! Never mind, I'll send you a picture of me fiddling with my big Virago to make you drool! All the best to everyone mooman (TAFKA mcmoo) |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Les from Hull Date: 21 May 01 - 08:22 AM Thanks to everyone from both Maggie and me for a wonderful weekend. We enjoyed your company, songs, playing, singing, jokes and stories more than we could ever say. We're both looking forward to the next time we see you all. Very special thanks to Jane and Geoff and Bill and all the others involved in organising the very special weekend - what I presume to be the largest gathering of 'Catters anywhere. Of course, I realised too late that we should have had a Mudcat logo on a big sheet of paper that we could have all signed. A framed copy would have been a permanent record for the Jug. Perhaps some enterprising soul might put together some of photos into a collage and add all the Mudcatters names to it. As usual, I was far too busy/drunk to take any photos or make any recordings so I would be grateful for any clicky connections that will allow me to reinforce the memories that are currently being held in the one wobbly old brain cell. Thanks once again - you've made an old man very happy, and even older! Les |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: bill\sables Date: 21 May 01 - 08:14 AM I have to tell a little story about Patrish. We had a raffle at the gathering and various people donated prises of CD's, Bottles, Mudcat embroidered Cushon, Green man, etc, I was looking at the prizes and noticed a book of Quotations. I told Patrish if I won I would like to get that book and she said she was the one who donated it. The raffle started and numbers were drawn, my number never came up but Patrish's did. She picked the book and gave it to me. True mudcat unselfish friendship Cheers Bill |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 21 May 01 - 07:00 AM Got back home music still ringing in my head. I had a great time, met new and old friends, laughed, cried, danced, sang, and attempted to play the melodeon. My only regret is that a link could not be made so that other mudcatters unable to attend had an opportunity to enjoy the gathering.
A big thank you to Jane, Syd, Val, Bill and Noreen |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Geoff the Duck Date: 20 May 01 - 08:10 PM Yes. The Name is a sort of joke, but the beer wasn't. |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Jeri Date: 20 May 01 - 08:03 PM Animaterra - DOH!!! Thanks. Wonderful photies, and "Mudcat DTs" beer?! |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Geoff the Duck Date: 20 May 01 - 07:40 PM When we called back to collect the dead fish from the caravan fridge, Cobble was still drinking. I actually had the last pint of Mudcat as the barrel finally gave up the ghost. Tig, Badger, Magician and JeZeBeL were stopping until the morning, but the gathering is officially closed. Mrs. Cobble has a list of all the names of Catters who attended, unless someone has accidentally been missed off. Sh will send it to me when they get home, and I will post it on my "Almost" website, with the weekend's photos. There were more taken after I retired hurt, but I do not have them. If you were there and have taken snapshots, please arange to e-mail them to me. Try a PM for arrangements. I notice thet since I started to type, Animaterra has linked back to my thread with the clicky to the weekend's photos (Well Friday Night). I will be modifying that web page and adding some others with better captions (silly or informative) as soon as I have photos compiled from all sources. Quack! Geoff the Duck. p.s. I enjoyed what I heard!

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Jeri Date: 20 May 01 - 06:47 PM If one or more of you didn't take photos, I'm going to be seriously upset! |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Dave Wynn Date: 20 May 01 - 05:55 PM Loved every minute....Sorry to whomsoever won the CD "Spot the Dog"...I will galdly buy it back for a fiver and bury it with the other 499. Many thanks to Jane and Bill it ran like clockwork but no one seemed to be doing anything...a mark of good organisation. Special thanks to the "band" who let me onstage to play....all the notes were there guys I just may not have got them in the right order. Finally....Thanks to all who shook my hand and hugged me...So many nice people all in one place at one time...Just too good to be true... Spot. |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 May 01 - 05:45 PM Regretably, that was not a horse, it was Micca snoring, just be grateful that Manitas was not there, he can outsnore Micca any day..... The only person to beat the pair of them was a certain dancer from Nottingham Pride Morris, who managed to make a concrete floor reverberate..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Lanfranc Date: 20 May 01 - 05:35 PM Home again. Great weekend - great company - great time (albeit too short!). All thanks to the Ducks, Sid & Mrs Sid, and everyone else who made it a weekend to remember. Hope the money raised helps. More will come. When can we do it again? |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Eric the Viking Date: 20 May 01 - 05:18 PM Ickle Dorrit-I never got to meet you, for which I can only say I am the loser for. We seem to share many similar outlooks on life. Saturday night, back at the jug was like the best of folk festivals, all squeezed into one place. Cheers I bet Cobble is still hung over! |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: nutty Date: 20 May 01 - 05:14 PM Great pub ....... great people ........ great gathering THANKS to everyone who helped ... loved meeting you all ... When's the next one???????? PS. Alchohol makes a great painkiller Geoff |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Catrin Date: 20 May 01 - 03:16 PM Ooooh! What can I say - it was so wonderful seeing everyone again - I was one of the song enthusiasts who plonked myself in the bar at the jug at about 12.30 on Sat. and didn't leave until 3pm Sunday (well, except to sleep for a couple of hours). Such wonderful singing. Ickle Dorrit - I want that song!!!! ( I mean please :)) Catrin |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: windyb99 Date: 20 May 01 - 02:48 PM Yes it's really me, windyb99, fresh from the gathering at Sid's place. He says the beers nearly all gone, but it was very good ! Well done Jane and Geoff for all your hard work, I hope the financies worked out ok ! Cheers Chris |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Linda Kelly Date: 20 May 01 - 02:27 PM Well home at last! What a truly wonderful time was had by all and a big thank you to all the Ducks for their tremendous efforts in pulling this off. Sid and Val have probably aged 40 years ! Wonderful memories including Micca's hilarious songs, beautiful voices of Noreen Joan and Sue, great music from virtually everyone, great Parkin from Mrs Cobble and just meeting catters like Bill sables Geordie Broon and JohnJ for the first time was a real pleasure. However all this excitement has exhausted me so,I will now lie down in a darkened room and quietly contemplate the cricket scores!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: GUEST,John J, still not a guest, but at home Date: 20 May 01 - 01:27 PM Well what a brilliant weekend; really good music and singing, far too much of Syd's really excellent beer (to say nothing of his hospitality).....I could go on and on. It was so pleasant to put faces to the names I've so regularly seen on the Mudcat. (Ickle Dorrit, are your SURE that's really you??!!! *BG*). Thanks to Mrs Duck, the Lame Duck, the Ducklings.....well everybody who was there. Noreen and I are down the Jolly Angler tomorrow night if anyone would like another sing. Seriously BIG THANKS to all for a cracking weekend. BTW, when are we all there next? John |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Mrs.Duck Date: 20 May 01 - 01:16 PM As we thought Geoff has a sprain but it is very swollen and a lovely shade of black! We had a great session at lunchtime and I was sorry to leave but had to go and watch Castleford Tigers play London Broncos at rugby because Little Duckling was doing a sprint challenge in the interval. I'm going back to the Jug soon to clear up and see if anyone has forgotten to go home! As I headed for bed last night the sun was rising over the power station and all the gin in my bottle had evaporated! I was awakened at the crack of midday by a herd of rowdy 'catters shaking the caravan and banging on the windows. I waived at them and signalled that I would be up in 2 minutes... It was a cracking weekend !!! |
|
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE From: Dave the Gnome Date: 20 May 01 - 12:32 PM The gnome is home! Thanks one and all for a brilliant weekend. Now, big question. When's the next???? Special thanks to Jane for all the hard work. Hope the foot gets better soon, Geoff. And I hope it was the horse I cold hear last night and not Micca snoring...;-) See you all soon. Dave the Gnome |
