WOW what a great time I had this year.
Tap N Spile nights were good fun, nice to see so many catters as well as other folks that I don't normally meet up with. Sorry I had to miss the last night but Bridgnorth called.
Wasn't the singing on the Turk lovely? My liver still recovereth.
The afternoon music sessions were a brill idea. I really enjoyed them. I've got a huge long list of tunes to learn by Whitby 2004.
Looking forward to next year already.
See y'all then
Mary

Our problem is that the house we've been in for 2 years holds 11 very comfortably, and is so handy opposite the Albion Club, but it's been sold! The one they've offered us only holds 8, so we have a problem for next year!

The high for me at Whitby was joining the "cast of thousands" for the Strawhead production - wonderful!!

Camping etc. is always a possibility but beware the dangers in walking up the 199 steps, after dark, to those sites beyond the abbey, and therefore the church.. Took that walk about three times, latish-on. Each time I heard a tapping from the graveyard that surrounds the church. On the third night I just had to find out what it was. On rounding the church corner I espied a huddled up grey figure at a headstone. On approaching I saw it was an old chap. He had a mason's hammer in one hand and a stone chisel in the other. "Eh what's tha doin' lad?" I enquired. "Silly buggars spelt me name wrong." came the reply. I left, rapidly.

Sadly Kitty I suspect the people you referred to are the ones who had the cottage we had booked. We now have another booked up the steps from the Middle Earth so should have a good week but its a hell of a way to get kids up to the West Cliff school for 10am! We will all have a brilliant time though if this year is anything to go by! See everyone soon.
