Subject: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Tig Date: 11 Jun 01 - 11:32 AM The Badger and I are going to be at Alchester Folk Festival this year and would love to meet other Mudcats to cheer us up whilst we are running the stall - a minigathering? Please come and say 'Hi' (purchase of badges is NOT compulsory!!!) |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: alanww Date: 11 Jun 01 - 12:29 PM Hi Tig. I look forward to seeing you. I shall be mumming in the pubs on Friday evening, morris dancing during the day on Saturday and, hopefully, singing both evenings and Saturday lunchtime - probably in the Holly Bush behind the church in the centre of the town, which is having a beer festival. I believe Mudcatter Snuffy will be there too! (I've already got a Mudcatter badge by the way.) "Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry ... !" Wassail! Alan PS Its ALCESTER (near Stratford-upon-Avon in England) not Alchester in case any Mudcatters cannot find it on the map! And its on Friday 22 to Sunday 24 June its website is alcesterfolkfestival.co.uk. |

Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Tig Date: 11 Jun 01 - 01:38 PM I realised the well known tiepin error after I had posted the thread. I never said I was perfect. Lezzons inn spullin mey bee ovvered on ye stal. |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Mr Red Date: 11 Jun 01 - 03:15 PM I think this is a perfect oportunity to suggest slogans for badges "Old Badgers never die, they just get Worn" has already been done I had one , one year that said "More Redd than Itch" but now the festival has metamorphosed into the surroundings of a beautiful old town where the locals like folkies I can't think of a suitably punchy slogan. Suggestions welcome Yes of course I'll be there - especially at the ceilidh. |

Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: GUEST,treaties1 Date: 11 Jun 01 - 06:02 PM Hi Tig I will be at Alcester and wish to buy a mudcat badge please. Hi to everyone else reading this thread, I am running the Friday night Welcome Gathering session (8 -12pm)in the Roman Room and look forward to meeting, seeing and hearing any singers and musicians who care to drop in. Cheers Theresa |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Tig Date: 12 Jun 01 - 08:31 AM Why are you down as a guest Theresa or is your computer being silly? PM us with the exact name you want on and we'll bring you a printed Mudcat badge down with us. Anyone else need one? |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: John Routledge Date: 12 Jun 01 - 04:27 PM Get two! I got two and almost immediately lost one. Imagine my plight if I had only bought one. GB |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Snuffy Date: 12 Jun 01 - 05:03 PM I got two - one to go on my Morris hat and the other to wear with my civvies. I'll be dancing and mumming with Alanww when not singing or drinking.

Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Snuffy Date: 12 Jun 01 - 05:06 PM Buggered up the HTML in that posting - try again. Check out the local Shakespeare CAMRA website for details of the pubs in Alcester. The Cross Keys hosts a monthly Celtic session, so presumably the musicians will head there, while the Holly Bush will probably be the place for singing (and it has a beer festival). Wassail! V |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: GUEST Date: 12 Jun 01 - 06:30 PM Tig It's not my computer that's playing up I reset my cookie last week got my welcome back but i,ll have another try. Thanks for the suggestion of having two badges Geordie Broon and Snuffy. So as I don't know how to do a PM Tig please make me one as Treaties1 and another as Theresa. Many thanks in advance and see you soon. Theresa |
Subject: RE: Meet at the badge stall at Alchester From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 Jun 01 - 06:34 PM There are other badges too you know!!So come to the stall and check out the two slightly squiffy but oh so gorgeous women trying to avoid parental or matrimonial contact at least for some of the time - otherwise it will be the badger and his friend the duck wondering where the women have gone so he can offload the twins!!!!!!! |
