Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: bill\sables Date: 09 Jul 01 - 06:45 AM Geordie Broon has an idea of exclusivly renting a youth hostel out of season for a gathering, it would probably only cost about £10 per person for a weekend plus food. He mentioned a medievel castle with about 70 bedrooms and large venues for ceilidh, singarounds and sessions. Dinner is about £4 and breakfast about £3. I think it should be somewhere within easy access from either the M6, M1, or A1 but wherever it is it will probably be after the festival season. Bill |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Dave the Gnome Date: 09 Jul 01 - 06:36 AM There are at least 6 other 'mancs' not mentioned as well - unless thay have PM'd directly. Out of interest, when looking for a venue for an 'England wide' event we decided on Stratford on Avon and it worked well. Lots of Accom. as well. Not as good for the Scottish contingent though. I would, of course, recommend Manchester as being the centre of the universe if we want to count everybody;-) Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: SueH Date: 09 Jul 01 - 05:46 AM We are in hertfordshire, where we also run a folk club. On June 30th we ran our first free one-day festival, on similar lines to the one in Northampton. It went even better than we could have dreamt, with hundreds of people coming along to support it. Hopefully we'll see some of you there next year! SueH |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Jul 01 - 05:53 PM The first part of the test was learning to ride the thing, and passing a Compulsory Basic Training test. This means I can ride it with L plates, but not on motorways. The second part was like a driving test, to dispense with the L plates and let me on motorways. I failed that, simply because I haven't had enough experience on the roads. Yet. LTS |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Jul 01 - 05:51 PM Don't forget that geographical centre may not be the easiest to get to..... it's easier and cheaper to go to Scotland by train than it is to get to Devon, and probably only a few hours longer..... it took me 4 hours to get to Dorset by train, it took only 6 to get to Durham, four times the distance!! Wildlone, I knew Sherborne well at one point. Ever go over to Batcombe Down? Maybe next time I'm down, we'll get together..... LTS |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: GUEST,Flaj Date: 08 Jul 01 - 04:22 PM If I said Horbury I bet hardly anyone would know where it is anyway so you can probably say it with impunity. Failing that, how about West Riding?

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Manitas Date: 08 Jul 01 - 10:19 AM As London is now longer a county I presume us Plaistow (that's Liz the Squeak, Micca and moi)mob are going to have to be entered as in Essex. Which is alright by me as when I was born West Ham was still styled a County Borough. |

|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: The Walrus Date: 08 Jul 01 - 04:52 AM Carshalton in Surrey, but it's in the London Borough of Sutton, so, as far as I'm concerned, you can file me under either (I'll even, at a pinch, accept Middlesex, as I work in Teddington). Regards Tom (the Walrus) |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Gareth Date: 07 Jul 01 - 08:19 PM Tony d'F Whitstable - I think we may have met. I lived there long enough. I lament the demise of the Folk Club at the Duke of Cumberland. Extempor sessions were occasionaly held in the East Kent when Dick Bird was Landlord - I got thrown out of there for the following spontanous verse of Crawshaw Bailey
"Oh the Landlords name is Dicky,
"Have you ever saw, Joshing apart, have a word with Jullian Spurrier of the Labour Club in Belmont Rd., I suspect he or Hazel may be happy to accomedate a Folk meet.

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Lanfranc Date: 07 Jul 01 - 07:04 PM I'm in 'Arlow, too. So that'll be Essex, then. No medallions, not much chest hair, not interested in soccer, no shell suit, no Ford Escort. Not stereotypical. LtS on a bike! Look out, Marianne Faithfull! What's the second part of the test? How to do wheelies? Never could figure out how to carry a guitar safely on a bike, so stuck to 4 wheels. |
