Couldn't have put it better myself Keith. There are at least two rooms so it will be possible for instrumental sessions and singarounds to go on separately or a mix of both throughout the weekend. There will be a kazoo workshop at some point and a raffle other than that it is a very free and easy weekend with lots of music and drinking and fun.

Fair bit of space Alan but I could do to know how many caravans, tents, vans etc so we can plan the space. Thought if we put all the caravans down one side and the cars in the car park the tents could go together on the other side leaving a space for towing in and out. Will be going down to the pub very soon for a final check and sort out.

Only that long? And I STILL don't know where I'm going! I will just go to Selby and listen hard for the noise!

Still space in the East Wing if anyone needs tent space and car space for 2 or 3 from London - who asked me for a lift?

I'd very much like to come along - I've justa few things to be shifted around.

I'll be bringing kazoos. But I prefer a comb and cigarette paper - if the comb hasn't been cleaned you can save time by flossing as you play.

Are there enough dancers to form a scratch side?
Are there any Kazoo players coming as this is the genral locality of the world famous Windy Bottom Kazoo Ensable.

There will be a new game available at the Yorkshire Gathering ( all being well!) called Prevent Badger Doing Too Much. Since it is local to us we are still intending coming - even though the rest of the May Festivals have had to go by the board.

Suggestions welcome!
