Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Tinker Date: 20 Feb 03 - 09:30 PM Col K I've pm'd you details... I'm clearly the closest to Newark airport ( about 20 minutes) and I'll be heading to Getaway on Friday myself.... Even know the way after three years... Easily room for a few extra heads for the night. PM me and I'm sure we can work something out.... I'm very excited.. Kathy |

My flight is booked, I've a new backpack/suitcase waiting for packing and I'm really looking forward to a trip of a lifetime and singing and songswapping in a "circle of friends" Morticia, thermals I can understand but why wellies for the showers?

Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 20 Feb 03 - 04:28 PM Sorry, Dani... it sounds like fun, but this is going to be a busy summer, and I don't think that I can cram any more into it.. But, I'll catch the Shellbacks when they come up here.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Noreen Date: 20 Feb 03 - 02:32 PM Yes indeed, Rita!!!! Getting very excited already.... Now, who's got a suggestion for what the lovely Barb can have as her new mudcat handle? :0) |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: MMario Date: 20 Feb 03 - 12:43 PM But looks like some of us better not dilly dally about signing up either! |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Bill D Date: 20 Feb 03 - 12:34 PM The Getaway camp can take 250-300 or so, I think...and we have been getting 125-175 in the past few years, depending on time of day and weather(we get some locals who drive up for the day only)....so this ought to make a FINE growth spurt and a new batch of friends...looking forward to it! |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Edain Date: 20 Feb 03 - 12:25 PM I wanna go :-( AT the time the 'mob' are there I will be in the states but unfortunately I'll be on the West coast, talk about bad timing! |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Dani Date: 20 Feb 03 - 11:50 AM This is very exciting! It's probably too early to begin counting down the days. Oh, what the hell, I'm going for it.. Jerry, does that mean YOU'RE coming to the Getaway, too?!? Dani |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Barb'ry Date: 20 Feb 03 - 10:54 AM Hi everyone - Andy and I are coming too - must change my mudcat name - must have been having a inspirationless day when I first signed up! Look forward to meeting some American mudcatters. Barbara |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 20 Feb 03 - 10:19 AM Is this exciting, or what?!!! See you when you get here. Jerry |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Schantieman Date: 20 Feb 03 - 10:06 AM Right Alan - sorry about the confusion! I might meet him at Alcester then. Steve |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Ferrara Date: 20 Feb 03 - 09:57 AM Welcome, welcome! Hope to see you at Mystic, will definitely see you at the FSGW Getaway at Camp Ramblewood, and maybe sometime in between as well (assumin' the good Lord's willin' an' the creek don't rise). I'm in charge of the program at the FSGW Getaway, so we'll no doubt be exchanging PM's and e-mails like mad, closer to the date. Sitting here with a big grin on my face. Jed Marum just left, Kendall Morse is performing for FSGW in May, and now there's your visit to look forward to. FUN! So, Noreen, you really will get to the Getaway at last, huh? Yayyyy! Rita Ferrara |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Alio Date: 20 Feb 03 - 09:15 AM You lucky lot - I'm so jealous! We can't go because Sarah (my daughter) is having a baby at the end of August, so I'm going nowhere!! I dare say we'll still manage to go to Captain Cook, but it won't be the same without you lot!! Ali |
Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: alanww Date: 19 Feb 03 - 02:39 PM Schantieman: No, I know you cannot make it this time. Stantheman is Stan Dunnage, a Shellback from Alcester who is only a very occasional user of the Mudcat. "Come ye young men, come along ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: Allan C. Date: 19 Feb 03 - 10:56 AM This is great news! I am sure those who will be at the FSGW Getaway as well as the other events listed will be in for a wonderful treat. I hope your experience here in the USA, along with the other Shellbacks, is one filled with very pleasant memories for all. |
Subject: Shellback Chorus to USA Oct 2003 From: alanww Date: 19 Feb 03 - 10:41 AM Well, I've just booked a flight. Hurrah! So, along with over 20 other members of the Shellback Chorus(a shanty group with members from all over England), I will be coming to:- 1 The Fall Getaway Festival at Ramblewood, Darlington, Maryland on Fri 17 to Sun 19 Oct AND 2 The Fall Getaway Festival at Camp Isobella Freedman, South Canaan, Connecticut on Fri 25 to Sun 27 Oct. And we hope to meet with members of the Greater Washington Folklore Society and to visit Mystic Seaport at some point during the week in between. Some of us will even be staying on until the weekend after! Not all of the details have been sorted out as yet but it promises to be a trip to remember! Wow, I can feel the excitement mounting, even now! Of course, many of the Shellbacks who are coming are also Mudcatters. At present I can think of Col K, Noreen, Snuffy, Stantheman and SussexCarole but I've no doubt forgotten some Mudcat IDs and will be corrected - apologies in advance! I am certainly looking forward to the events and particularly to meeting as many USA Mudcatters as possible! "For I be free to go abroad ...!" Alan |
