Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Linda Kelly Date: 18 May 03 - 03:13 PM Got back a while ago in glorious sunshine which was in contrast to the appalling weather we had over the weekend. It did not spoil our enjoyment and it was so nice to meet up with everyone again. Sorry I missed most of Saturday evening, which I understand was memorable. Jane you have the organisational genius of a small town planning department -all hail Mrs Duck. A fabulous venue and wonderful hosts who only looked slightly shellshocked on Sunday morning! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Zany Mouse Date: 18 May 03 - 02:03 PM Great gathering. Well done Jane (and everyone else who put in a lot of hard work). Some wonderful singing and lots of laughs. My happiness increased by winning the star prize in the raffle! Good to put more faces to names. ZM |

Great place, great fun, Great Music. Alan C, never even got to have a proper talk with you-sorry about that. |

Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: John Routledge Date: 17 May 03 - 03:34 PM Warming up nicely as I regretably had to leave at 1 PM to get back. Highlight for me was late night harmonies of Linda Kelly and her friend Hazel singing with Sue vG and Noreen. Beautiful stuff. Rain had stopped as I was leaving so have a GREAT rest of Gathering everyone. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Tig Date: 17 May 03 - 08:33 AM Just popped home from the Gathering to feed the moggies. Apart from being VERY wet last night we got off to a good start. Lots more people arrived this morning, and there are yet more due. Good venue (including the interesting outside loo!), good food and beer and most of all good company. |

Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Kate Date: 16 May 03 - 12:34 PM Hi folks, Has anyone got a spare tent that I could borrow for Saturday night? I know it's short nottice but the one I was going to use has a vital piece missing and everyone that I've asked seems to be a non-camping type person. I'll be eternally grateful and there are some pints available in return. Ta, Kate |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: GUEST,Bagpuss Date: 16 May 03 - 11:10 AM This is a last minute almost confirmation that I am almost certainly coming tomorrow, so I'll see you all then. Bagpuss |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 16 May 03 - 10:58 AM Heloo Les, i just sended you a message.john |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Les from Hull Date: 16 May 03 - 10:31 AM It's siling down in 'ull just now. See you all termorrer! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Noreen Date: 16 May 03 - 09:56 AM Rain feels like it's set in for the weekend here too, MMario- but perhaps the updraughts from the cooling towers will direct the rainclouds away from the campsite? :0) Where is Selby Fish when you want him? Still checking his kazoo? |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: MMario Date: 16 May 03 - 09:33 AM *turning green* (and it's not with mold - though it has rained every day for almost two weeks) |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Noreen Date: 16 May 03 - 09:31 AM Car's loaded up outside work for a quick getaway. See you all soon! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Mrs.Duck Date: 16 May 03 - 08:17 AM Just got home from work (yes I got off early nursing sore throat - hopnest!) Will have to wait for kids to finish school but should be there for about 4ish. Good journey to all and don't worry it isn't raining IN the pub! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Geoff the Duck Date: 16 May 03 - 03:49 AM Happy - vents will be in tents to let the wind out. I'll be off over during the day to get set-up in advance. Either myself, Col K or the Cobbles are likely to be on hand to give advice to arrivals. NOTE - if you approach from the South (road from Snaith), the turning to the camping field is IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the pub entrance (turn LEFT if heading North). Do not turn into the pub car park with a caravan. The field gate is about 20 yards further down the lane, on the RIGHT (same side as car park). If you go too far you will be at the local football club grounds. Despite weather forecasts predicting a dry night and morning, it is already raining. Let's hope they get the rest wrong and we get sunshine this weekend instead of what they promise. I may not be near the computer again before we start, so - See you all there! Quack! Geoff the Duck. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Jeanie Date: 16 May 03 - 03:17 AM Have a great time, everyone ! I expect to hear the singing (and the kazoos)wafting its way on the wind 200 miles down South ! - jeanie |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: mouldy Date: 16 May 03 - 02:38 AM Well the landlord of the pub has a put short piece on it in the local paper, and it seems to have been billed as a mini festival! (Mind you, I only caught sight of it after the colour picture on the opposite page of our mob dancing there on Mayday drew my eye). Book your car park space now!!! See you! Andrea |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Mrs.Duck Date: 15 May 03 - 07:18 PM Little bird told me someone has been chatting to Radio York and that the interview is to be broadcast on Saturday morning! |

I've been told that I'm chauferring wife and daughter to son's in London on Saturday as daughter is flying to Italy on Sunday morning early to work out there in the Venice area for 3 months. Chris (Flaj). |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Mr Happy Date: 14 May 03 - 02:24 PM 'the weather in Dunstable is likely to be Unstable' but might the weather be more settled in Settle? |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Noreen Date: 14 May 03 - 02:15 PM Glad you can still make it, G. Looking forward to meeting friends old and new :0) Forecast is for 'unsettled' weather at the weekend... at least that's better than settled rain... |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: GUEST,selby Date: 14 May 03 - 01:38 PM 9c heavy rain |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: George Papavgeris Date: 14 May 03 - 01:01 PM Sorry folks, been "away" in more ways than one - too much has happened in the last 2 weeks. BUT - Titch (Vanessa) and I will indeed be arriving for opening time at the Black Dog on Saturday (abt 11am with a bit of luck), staying till Sunday afternoon-ish. We will NOT be using a tent, as Zany Mouse and MCP are kindly putting us up (tks guys!). |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: KJ Date: 14 May 03 - 12:35 PM We'd like Sunday lunch please. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Geoff the Duck Date: 14 May 03 - 09:04 AM I assume the Black Dog will be serving food from their usual menus as well as the Mudcat budget meals for poor folkies... Mrs.Duck and myself had a meal at the pub before finalising it as a venue for the gathering, and they do some nice stuff. Quack! Geoff |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: nutty Date: 14 May 03 - 06:13 AM Theresa and I will probably want food on Sat and Sun as well. I'm not a curry or chilli person so am hoping for a selection from the normal menu. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Tig Date: 14 May 03 - 05:32 AM Oops. Sorry Jane, forgot to tell you. We will probably want food over the weekend (but I don't think we will want Sunday lunch.) Hope it's not too late to be counted in. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Mrs.Duck Date: 13 May 03 - 05:49 PM Thank you michael fish |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: GUEST,selby Date: 13 May 03 - 02:05 PM Todays weather 10c scattered showers westerly wind. Keith |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Kate Date: 13 May 03 - 08:52 AM Mrs Duck - Looking forward to meeting you too. Noreen - it'll be great to have a good sing with you. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: bradfordian Date: 13 May 03 - 06:33 AM Mrs D. please count me in for Sunday lunch. It's looking like wellingtons & brolly weather; anyone for "Singing in the rain"? I hope to bring something for the raffle. Perhaps others could find something to donate, maybe? Brad |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Noreen Date: 13 May 03 - 04:56 AM Hi Kate! Glad you're coming, my dear. This will be such fun! There'll be some cracking singing this weekend, Grommit! Linda, sorry to hear of your hassle. If you want a lift any other time to Selby, I'll oblige- don't go before you have to. Glad Hazel's coming too. Hille will be taking my tent space, Jane. |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Linda Kelly Date: 12 May 03 - 06:03 PM Ta gorgeous! |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: nutty Date: 12 May 03 - 05:33 PM I'll be leaving mid afternoon on Sunday Linda (between 3-4pm).....It would be no problem to drop you at Selby Station |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Linda Kelly Date: 12 May 03 - 05:28 PM Well , hopefully fingers crossed but my singing partner Hazel will be coming too so we may make Friday although she cant stay Saturday evening - my husband has taken his bat and ball home bigtime and has now decided not to come leaving me with no campervan -(dont worry I have ze tent )but also no lift back on Sunday although I could cadge a lift back on Saturday if necessary -any volunteers for a lift to Selby station on Sunday before I decide? |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Col K Date: 12 May 03 - 04:39 PM Well you know that I am coming and in response to Janes plea about food I would like some at various times over the weekend. Hope this helps. I'm picking Hille up at Doncaster on the Friday at 4.45 and Micca and Khatt at Selby at 6.10 both pm to transport them to the gathering. See you all there Col |
Subject: RE: Yorkshire 2003 the final countdown From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 May 03 - 03:33 PM Looking forward to meeting you Kate |
