Vikki, bring some more next year, the only way I am ever going to taste any is if I win them in the raffle( there are some who are right tight with cookies)

Echoing others' accolades and appreciation to the Ducks (including Maddie, for all the work she does on the raffle!) and to the owners & staff of the Black Dog for their patience and helpfulness.

Fond memories for me... Banjo Ray's lovely background picking all weekend (whenever there wasn't something else going on), CatsPhiddle's rousing rendition of Landlord Fill the Flowing Bowl (a real high point of the Saturday evening sing), Liz & Micca's side-splitting parodies, the hot tune-session Friday evening -- kicked off by Bill Sables & Sam Pirt (what a pair!), Hacksaw Bob's magical massages reducing late-late-night Catters (including me) to wonderfully relaxed puddles, Liz's quiz, the Sunday sing, and so much more...

Once again enjoyed being able to (at last!) put some faces to familiar names (now if I can just remember all the names that go with the faces!) -- as well as (of course) getting to see friends from last year again.

Also lovely to see the those who met at last year's YG still together & going strong on their "first anniversary", as well as that newly-hitched "Patterson couple" (not to mention parents/in-laws!).

Good Luck to Ian McFlute and Mrs Duck on their upcoming job interviews -- we're all rooting for you!

Cheers -- Vikki

P.S. Many thanks for the compliments on the cookies -- glad they're "going down" well! [g]

Big thanks to Jane and Geoff for the organizing, and Black Dog, Tracy and Bar Staff for their stirling effort over the weekend.

So many new faces and names. I've forgotten more names than people I met?? But enjoyed the weekend emensly - roll on YG2006

Sorry I couldn't make it this year but (I suppose behind the jealousy!) I'm glad that everyone had a great time!   Hope to be there next year...
Look forward to seeing most of you at one or more of Chippenham, Bishop's Castle, Alcester, Four Fools, Portsmouth, Sidmouth, Dartmoor, Saltburn, Whitby, Towersey ... or wherever!

Thanks Jane and Tracey and everyone else who organised the weekend - and especially thanks to Yorkshire Yankee who donated some chocolate chip pecan cookies for the raffle - they are fantastic! Well.. were .. there's 3 left for Manitas and I tomorrow!

Thanks again.

Weather stayed fine most of the time except when Gillian wanted to eat al fresco! But for those of us who opted for the barbeque it was quite sunny if not quite the heat wave we managed last year.

Home! Unpacked! Grand and mostly black dog dropped off at my daughter's. Grandson - worn out by the weekend - slept most of the way! Now for the washing, followed by repacking for Chippenham, holiday as we travel back home via Weybridge, Banbury , Sheffield and Manchest where Hatter, my companion for the week, gets his degree from the OU! ( If you don't know - Hatter is my son)

Can I have a rest in June! ----- Probably not!

Lovely weekend - glad I put the gazebo up for when we were eating tea, Saturday night!

Then you will have to come back next year and try again, Lynne!! Thanks everyone that came - I have a list somewhere and I think we had about 45 catters over the weekend. As always the Black Dog did us proud and hopefully they will let us come back next year and keep them awake for another weekend. The raffle raised £50 for Mudcat (thanks Phoebe and Tig :0))No doubt photoes will be available soon.

Although we were only able to be there for the day on Saturday, it was most enjoyable, even though it appears to have turned my daughter into a pool-shark. Thanks Ducks! Thanks Black dog! Nice to meet yet more Mudcatters. The quiz was a laugh..and I, too was on the Hooters team, and we won!! Surprisingly good accoustics for a pub too. Not sure what happened to all the hugs that were mentioned in the thread as we built up to it..I didn't get many at all! Certainly not my fair share!

Well, home again, after a Very GOOD time in the newly refurbished ( you know the way ththat word can be a euphemism for tarting a place up and ruining the ambience, well in this case it ISN'T they have done a lovely low key job) Black Dog, many thanks to the staff of the Black Dog for looking after us all, especially to blackdog himself and to Tracey for getting up at stupid o'clock to do breakfasts for a bunch of scruffy Folkies!! a Big Thank You also to The Ducks for organising a splendid weekend and a lovely welcoming venue, to Liz the Squeak for a memorable quiz (which our team the Hooters(dont ask) WON, Nyaaah Nayaah) and also my personal thanks to all who attended so I and My Wife could renew friendships and make some new ones. see you all next year
