Nothing fair about the share Snuffy consumed on the Saturday. I am sure he had mine too!

RWJ - thank you so much for your poetic description of Snuffy's acrobatics in the Scout Hut. I wasn't surprised to hear of this adventure the following morning as Snuffy seemed to have consumed his fair share of ale the night before. So glad you've shared it...

Herga has booked Cloudstreet for January too. We found out at last night's AGM that there is a discrepancy (probably attributable to Bob's MS) between Folk London, who think they're on the 19th, and the club programme which says 26th. Johnny Collins rang John and Nicole on his mobile, and they think 26th.

Dave and Anni will be at Haddenham next Saturday. Hope to see some Bedduth survivors there.

Hi Cllr
Like most festivals it was good as long as you liked what it did. I certainly enjoyed it - seeing a few of the booked acts, such as Cloudstreet, who were brill at harmonies, and Dave & Anni, who were as good as ever. Most of my time, however, was spent picking up on the fringish music and singing sessions. Some excellent and some good.
Great to see many good friends, eg Hil (My guru always said) & Richard, Derek & Mary, Col K, Jude L, Noreen, Terry (Leadfingers), Snuffy (but I usually see him at least 3 days a week anyway!) and many others ...
There were very good Sunday sessions with Alhambra (Pete, John & Andy) doing their usual thing over the breakfast period, then a song session running in parallel with a music session hosted by Pete Grassby.
But I didn't stay in the scout hut this year - Sandy and I went back to a quiet and warm bed both nights! - so you will have to get feedback from the usual crowd on that!

The scout hut that night
was a wonderfull sight
full of folkies all compleat with beer
the kitchen had gone
just one camp stove olone
for coffie and tea for good cheer
the singnig went on till at least half past one
when the party had stated to fail
then Suuffy walked on to his camp bed to sleep
to foreget his consupsion af ail
his bed for the night was on the left you see
of that the is no dought
but when he got there the the camp bed sead no
and spat Suffy streight back out
he flew through the air like a man with no care
then he hit the far wall with a thud
then he dropped down to land
on a lady off hand whoes pitch had beed booked long bfore
a squeak then came out a terible shout
the problem was not hard to see
snuffy the flying folk singer
had landed where he was not alowed

the morrel to this strange story
is that free fralling folies beware
if yoy need to get ito youre camp bed
allways have at least one hand on a chair

Didn't notice the wather once things got started; as Melonie said the atmosphere inside was warm!
The Red Cross Hut indoor camping was, as listed, 'Quiet' - even the snores were muted.
I met lots of 'catters I'd not met before, and renewed old aquaintances. Won't mention any names, or I'm sure to miss someone out, but I heard some great singing/playing.
I spent most of my time at singing venues, but enjoyed the Donnelly/McConville/Fox session on Saturday night. Couldn't stay on Sunday, but I hope to be back at Bedworth next year.

The weather started cold, wet and blowy but the atmosphere inside was warm. The town had moved their Christmas lights celebration from the Friday to Saturday this year, so the town was busing with a French Market and small fair ground rides. So parking for late arrivals was very difficult. I was hampered by taking two grandchildren with me but found the "Cool Dudes" club was wonderful and I could not persuade the kids to leave! They are telling me firmly that they are going back next year.
And as to the music, although the lineup was down a couple of guests due to illness, the music was great, as usual. My great favourite is the big sing and it did not disappoint - for me, worth going just for that!

If anyone is still looking for a B&B for Sat night I have had to cancel my booking. I would have had ny caravan Fri anyway.

This was told to me by a folkie who uses it every year.

Rule and Compasses in Bulkington (Mrs Walker). It's
a small pub just
down the road from Bedworth, small but clean and comfortable and she does a
nice breakfast.

Their number is 02476 311948.

Don't know if they have fri free but It is worth a try. I do remember drivijng past from the campsite and I reckon it is walkable if you try and the campsite bus goes past if you negotiate a ride.

If not at the programmed singarounds then your best bet is downstairs at the White Swan. (and of course in the Scout Hut after)

I'll be there with Vanessa too. I'll be at the all day folk club, and - though not listed on the programme - I also expect to be in at the Big Sing and Acoustic Concerts.
This year I'll be staying overnight and also going to the White Swan on Sunday.
