Subject: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Phot Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:10 PM I'm just wondering who might be going to Banbury this year? Its a cracking festival with lots of fun and a good cosy feel, located in a town steeped in history, on the South Oxford Canal, great indoor camping, and best of all, great beer at good prices! Oh, and Cllr and me are performing! Get the Gen here Chris |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: jimmyt Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:23 PM I am coming all the way from AMERICA!@! Seriously, I will be visiting UK during that time, and Leadfingers has offered to drive me up to Banbury so I will be able to meet lots of catters and attend my first ever folk festival!!! Look forward to meeting you all there! jimmyt |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: jimmyt Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:26 PM do you treat people who are overcome with too much beer, Jude? |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: JudeL Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:31 PM If they turned up I would treat them appropriately .... what that would mean would depend on the state they were in! |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Morticia Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:37 PM Does that mean you are going to come kitted up with Resolve,Jude? In which case, can I book two and a glass of water now? |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: JudeL Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:50 PM I can bring some Resolve up and give it to you as a friend but NOT when I am on duty and NOT as as first aider. The rules are quite strict on some things. |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Phot Date: 27 Aug 03 - 02:53 PM Just spoken to Mary and have some more info. Season tickets are the same price as last year, only £23, even though this time it's a 3 day rather than 2 day festival. Event tickets can only be purchased on the day on site (and are obviously subject to availability) Indoor camping and hardstanding is available at North Oxfordshire College at £3.00 per person per night and a free Shuttle bus will be available from the College at peak times. Look forward to the Sunday morning Big Sing in the bus station cafeteria (scare the hell out of National Express!!) Chris |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Snuffy Date: 27 Aug 03 - 05:45 PM Shellback Chorus are booked there again, including several catters |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Morticia Date: 27 Aug 03 - 06:58 PM Pixie and I have been talking ( always dangerous) and we realised that a Hangover Helper Squad is the very thing most required at a folk festival....so we've decided to start one. Pixie is thinking of getting a nurses uniform....book your places in the Resolve and Rehydration Clinic now.....I'm expecting a demand *G*. |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: GUEST,alanww Date: 28 Aug 03 - 12:52 PM I will be there, of course! Great people, great music, great singing (and dancing too!) - in short a great festival ... Dancing and singing, bell ringing ...!" Alan |

|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Allan C. Date: 29 Aug 03 - 02:49 PM I am happy to be able to say (at last!!) that I, too, will be there. |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Bassic Date: 29 Aug 03 - 03:18 PM Jimmy, if you bring the "tools of your trade" with you I will kidnap a certain per9son, get him to Banbury, ply him with copious amounts of bear and hold him down so you can do your "stuff" on him ........................... hopefully it will stop Sorcha having so many sleepless nights!! *g* |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: jimmyt Date: 29 Aug 03 - 03:57 PM He9llof an idea, Bassic! I would rather meet jo9hn under less stressful circumstances (for either one of us!) Maybe you can all take up a collection and send him over here and I promise to fix his mouth before I send him back to Hu9ll (I am not sure AMreica is ready for jo9hn , though!) |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Phot Date: 06 Sep 03 - 05:45 PM Just a thought from another thread, there are moorings on the cut (canal) just below the lock, which just happens to be opposite the main venue, of the festival. So all you canal catters, can have the best of both worlds! You lucky people! Wassail! Chris |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: jimmyt Date: 10 Sep 03 - 03:15 PM I am renewing this thread as I am interested in trying to meet as many of the catters as possible, so any list of attendees would be helpful for me (remember I am a dumb yank so humor me) jimmyt |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Splott Man Date: 16 Sep 03 - 11:00 AM I'll be there, in the Reindeer, Saturday from 11am. Two specials to look out for will be a song session on a narrow boat, led by Kath Alsop, and Pat Smith's spoons workshop. C U there |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Dave Bryant Date: 16 Sep 03 - 11:19 AM I keep meaning to try and get there, but there's always something else in the way. Still Tom Beech never got there either - but that was in winter. |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 07 Oct 03 - 01:50 PM Anyone know which pubs may be child friendly? We would like to get to the singing session on Friday at the reindeer if they let small people in. |

|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Noreen Date: 07 Oct 03 - 06:15 PM Not tried any of the pubs Jane, as it's all been based solely in the Mill up until this year, so can't help, sorry. Perhaps email Derek & Mary (address at website). Will miss you all :0( |
|
Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: Snuffy Date: 08 Oct 03 - 06:49 AM IIRC there's no bar in the Oak(?)/Globe(?) Room where the singaround is, so it should be OK, Jane. WassaiL! V |

Subject: RE: BANBURY FF 2003 From: George Papavgeris Date: 12 Oct 03 - 05:41 AM So many Mudcatters there! I'm ashamed to say I forgot to wear the badge, left it in the car. My excuse is that I was too flustered after having spent 3.5 hours to do the 60 or so miles (£$%^ing M40 closed twixt J8-J9, and we were diverted onto the A40 Oxford ringroad, where we joined the thousands of Saturday Oxford tourists. Aarghhhh!) But a lovely day after all that. Lots of chats, lots of hugs, lots of singing (Guru, we forgot to put the "cannon balls" down again!), got a gig out of it (mucho gracias your eminence) and some decent grog ("Steaming On", never heard of it before). Heard Cloudstreet (lovely performances to add to their powerful songwriting - jealous - who, me?). And a lovely location, and gorgeous weather. Came home just in time to catch Titch awake (and keep her awake another hour telling her about it all). Here's to the next one. |
