Subject: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Mrs.Duck Date: 16 Sep 01 - 06:18 PM At the end of this week Syd and Val will be leaving the Jug in Chapel Haddlesey Yorkshire. They have been wonderful hosts and have done much to promote folk music in our area with the regular Wednesday session and of course the Yorkshire Mudcat gathering. They will be missed by many who have come to regard them as friends and I'm sure anyone who has ever visited the Jug will join with us in wishing them all the best as they head off to Bridlington. This coming Wednesday will be the last session under their ownership but the new landlord has expressed a desire for things to continue. Those who are able are going to gather at the Jug on Wednesday so that we can take a group photo for Syd and Val to put in their new residence. Thanks for some very happy times Syd and Val and all the very best for the future Jane and Geoff |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Jon Freeman Date: 16 Sep 01 - 06:22 PM I very much enjoyed meeting them at the Jug and I thought the Jug was a fantastic pub - genuinely one of the best I have ever visited. I wish them all the best for the future. Jon |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: katlaughing Date: 16 Sep 01 - 06:30 PM Oh, geez, this is almost like a beloved Mudcatter leaving us, as I feel they are honourary mambers or at least adjunct Mudders! Please pass on my good wishes and regrets that I've not met them, yet. Thanks, also to them for all they've provided to those of you in the UK. I feel we've come to know them and the Jug, sort of a Mudcat home away from home. Would love to see the pictures when you get them ready. All the best to Syd and Val! kat |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Micca Date: 16 Sep 01 - 07:05 PM well, what can I say??? I have felt very welcome every time I visted ( and It was often, this summer, the Jug became my local), but especially at the Yorkshire Gathering, I would want to add my special best wishes for the future and a big thank you to both Syd and Val for being excellent hosts and friends.. they will be much missed by many people, "... so fill to me a Parting Glass, goodnight and Joy be with you all" |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Sep 01 - 07:16 PM Geez, I feel like kat does........They have been a wonderful asset and have added to the Mudcat by providing what has now become a legendary place...... My best to both of them and my thanks as well. I hope what they have begun continues on in the same spirit. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 16 Sep 01 - 08:46 PM Please give them my best wishes. A change of tenant is always a rather dicey time, so I hope it all goes well. See you all next time, I hope! Malcolm |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 16 Sep 01 - 09:12 PM I have only been to The Jug twice, but I can honestly say it is one of the best pubs I have been in, (I have been in a lot of pubs!), not only for the quality of the drinks but the welcoming atmosphere, I hope the next landlord is folk friendly, and please pass on my best wishes to Syd & Val, and wish them a happy retirement.john |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: bill\sables Date: 17 Sep 01 - 05:42 AM I would like to add my thanks to Syd and Val for being such accommodating hosts not only on Wednesday nights but also on the many other occasions when we have had guest musicians staying in the area and have held an impromptu session. I only had to phone and say " Syd, any chance of a session in about an hours time?" The answer would always be "Yes" I, as a non drinker, find it difficult to find a pub where I can feel at ease, but from the first time at the Jug I was made very welcome and although it is about 10 miles from my home and I pass many pubs on the way I have always considered it "my local."
Lorna and I will miss Val's cooking, her meals were always tasty and well cooked. I well remember the first time we ate there and ordered two large mixed grills, each one would have fed a family of four. She always provided unusual meals like venison steaks or partridge pie and her Desperate Dan Pie, complete with cow horns, was unbelievable.
The new owners will have to go a long way to match Syd and Val's hospitality. |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Dave the Gnome Date: 17 Sep 01 - 07:02 AM And I think I can speak for us, both 'catters and not, on t'other side o'th pennines who visited the Jug and were made so welcome. They didn't even ask to check our passports. We wish them both all the best. Val and Syd, if you ever decide to visit Gods other county ;-)you would be more than welcome! Cheers Dave the Gnome |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Noreen Date: 17 Sep 01 - 07:25 AM All the best to Val and Syd. Very happy memories of times spent at the Jug during their time there, Wednesday evenings and particularly the Yorkshire gathering weekend. The late nights followed by full Yorkshire breakfast in the bar the next morning... |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Tig Date: 17 Sep 01 - 09:27 AM It's going to be very sad to see Syd and Val go. Like Bill although I like some distance away it's my local - the bus goes from our house to the crossroads at Chapel Haddersley - and I have often been in other than Wednesday night. They are taking a break for a few weeks which Syd could do with for his healths sake and then moving to Brid where they have bought shop premises (where they will eventually be selling bottles of real ale:-) if all goes to plan). The new landlord is well known to Jason and Syd and they assure me he knows how to keep a good pint of real ale and that he likes music so we shall just have to see. We'll miss you both. Love John, Chris and Kat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: John J Date: 17 Sep 01 - 01:54 PM I don't know what to say.....I spent a wonderful weekend at the Jug (Yorkshire Gathering)...I sang until I lost my voice, played the box until my arms ached, drank until.... well I didn't ACTUALLY end up in a heap on the floor! It was a superb weekend made all the more special by Syd and Val's welcome. What a lovely couple. What a smashing pub. I'm very sorry to see them go. My very best wishes to them both. John J |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Eric the Viking Date: 17 Sep 01 - 02:01 PM The Jug is my only local, probably the only pub I go to on a regular basis. I travel 32 miles almost every Wednesday to get there (64 return), such a great place, made by Syd and Val, (A mean Bodhran player!!). Wednesday farewell of COURSE I'll be there |

All the best & take care.john in hull. |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: mouldy Date: 20 Sep 01 - 02:30 AM Syd and Val deserve all the love and luck we send and wish for them. They are initially only going to be in Gowdall, a couple of miles from me - even closer than the Jug - (and praying that the new flood defences hold!), so it's going to be quite easy to keep in touch with them. Val fully intends coming to the Weds session once they are settled, and so it's only "au revoir". Andrea |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: John Routledge Date: 20 Sep 01 - 07:14 PM Thank you Syd and Val. I only met you once at The Yorkshire Gathering but was treated as if I had known you for years. All the very best in whatever you do. John. |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Mrs.Duck Date: 21 Sep 01 - 02:13 PM We went and saw them off properly last night and gave them the framed photo of the Wednesday session crowd. We also met the new landlord and landlady who seem to be really nice. Paul confirmed that he is looking forward to the session continuing and has said if we wish to go back into the other bar we can so we are!!!! |

Subject: RE: Syd and Val leaving the Jug From: Eric the Viking Date: 21 Sep 01 - 02:31 PM Oh bugger, though it sounds better, there isn't a lot of room. Still I don't care where I am. See you all Wednesday. Good luck Syd and Val. |
