Despite the new technology still thought it was best to start a new thread to tie up all loose ends for the gathering. Please check the list of people compiled by alanww and if we have missed you off or you are no longer coming let me know. There are still some people who haven't told me if they are in a tent or caravan so a pm confirming which and maybe an idea of when you hope to get there would be better than posting to the thread.
The venue in case you missed it is
Black Dog Inn
Selby Rd Camblesforth
Selby North Yorkshire

OK, no idea when I will get there, but when I do, I will be in need of some assistance, because I'm camping and am now on crutches thanks to an UNDRUNK bottle of red wine! Help will be required in unloading and pitching tent.... as long as I can get drunk in the supine position, everything else will be OK!

B....r - cleared the weekend for myself, and said I would come.

And wouldn't you know it ------- so far this week, for Saturday 17th only, my kids have found a school event and a steel pan band event; my gardening course has changed from 2 hours on Tuesdays to 4 hours on the Saturday; and my folk guitar pupils have a concert. So much for planning!!!!!!

Nothing has yet come up on the Sunday, but if I can get over, it will almost certainly mean coming over on that morning to see what is still left to happen! If I do have the energy to get over on Saturday evening, I'll have a tent.

All best - Gavin

Ah, so I'm not the only one humming that bloody tune!!

Driving was difficult yesterday (Tues) but viable, the weight distribution is different as I tend to use my big toe rather than the whole of my foot. It should be a bit better by then, but I will be taking it easy and Bratling can work the brake pedals.

If anyone wants to come and doesn't have a tent, I have room in my East Wing for another couple of bodies.

Bratling has already packed her bag for it, and is eagerly anticipating another weekend of mummy hopping around and swearing.

I just hope you and Bratling don't have to make any emergency stops. I'll be staying at home trying to work out how to fill in my tax form....

(We were trying to work out at Sharp's last night how many of us are anti-Establishment, how many of us work for the Government, and how big the overlap is between the 2 categories.)

Just returned from Black Dog making some final arrangements. There is plenty of room but we would still like people to confirm they are coming and if you are in a tent or caravan. An idea of time of arrival is also useful although there are no restrictions.

There will be some sort of supper available Friday and Saturday evenings (probably chilli or curry and rice - different each night)at £2.

Breakfast will be available if fine in the form of an open air breakfast barbeque £3 including toast tea or coffee - if wet served inside but may have to be earlier on Sunday (9.30 latest) as they do a lot of Sunday lunches and need to get underway.

If you would like to book Sunday lunch let me know so they can buy in enough meat. They have a number of regulars who eat there usually between 12 and 2pm so if we could arrange to eat after that please.

The pub serve very good food and other meals can be ordered during the weekend from the menu which has a good range of reasonably priced choices.

Starting to get very excited

Same here, still question marked when I confirmed it will be Bratling and I, with tent, arriving some time on Friday evening unless we get lost - our native bearer has been poached! Getting to the general area will be no problem - it's always the last 5 miles that cause the difficulty!

If anyone wants a ride up from London, and can read a map.....?

Safe travelling to Yorkshire everyone. I am looking forward to seeing you all there!

Please can another stranger come :-) ? I haven't seen Emma for ages, and we spoke the other day, concluding that I might come along on Friday seeing as she's going. I have a feeling there may be other people I know from festivals here, but I don't know any nicknames.

On the tent front, Emma already said she was bringing one - which is technically correct, because she has a new one. I've volunteered to make unhelpful comment and thoughtfully play sustaining tunes as would sustain someone interpreting the excellent instructions and trying to pitch the new tent. This doesn't help you for numbers as you already knew Emma was going. However. I would also like to bring a tent, which is only little, and may even be smaller than expected as it's been left in the roof since last year for anything particularly hungry to use as a growing medium. Which sounds unlikely, but has happened before.

So I just wanted to check that there would be space suitable for somewhere between there being two successfully erected tents, and two people giving up and sleeping their cars in the car park?

Thanks, Robin

If I was to play the mending song, it would most likely be on a mandolin. Or a fiddle. Badly.

I've never worked out any leveryorganyinstruments. I just used littlecharliemouse a very long time ago on msn after a train of events involving a sidmouth festival, a Sandra Kerr concert, a greogrian chant workshop, & application of our new found gregorian chant skills to a tune. The tune being the mending song.

Speaking on behalf of Alanwwww who is currently tripping in the canal, he (and possibly Sandy) will be in his Bambi Campervan, as stated above, not a tent.

I'll prob not need a tent space as I've been offered a bed in a luxurious palace/truck/MegaCamper.
Breakfasts, suppers and Sunday lunch for me please, and I'm not heading off early on the Sunday as I'm on holiday.

Thanks for doing all this, Jane.
