What sort of prizes are suitable for the raffle? Can they be "unusual" if so I might have a few items I could contribute.Looking forward to Friday, Moira

Unusual is fine, many thanks Moira!!! Last year a 'Hug from Lefty' was donated and has been claimed umpteen times.....

Should be arriving sometime Friday afternoon, hopefully with other members of folkmob. Despite caravan course I might need some help siting the caravan. First time I've taken this one on my own. Raffle prizes have been given to small children. I will get some more for the big ones!

HELP WITH TRANSPORT HOME.
It hasn't even started and I'm trying to get rid of people!!!

Had a phone call this afternoon from Tracey Curtis. She has discovered that trains don't want to play on Easter Sunday or Monday so needs a lift home...
Tracey lives in Ammanford. Is there any kind soul travelling back that way late Sunday or even Monday who can offer a lift.
Ammanford is sort of North of Swansea.
I hope someone will be able to offer as I am really looking forward to hearing Tracey.

A losing argument with the nasty end of a chain saw has left me with a stitched up left hand, so you will all be seeing the unaccompanied Don T., thereby preventing exposure of my mediocre guitar playing......Ho Hum!

Perhaps I might prevail on the very accomplished John Barden to step in as my impromptu backing for some songs?

Don T what very bad luck, or were you hoping to start again as a gipsy jazz guitarist?

Jeff can of course accompany anything, but how many pints it will cost you I don't know!

If you need help manhandling the van you can count on me as soon as I get there.

Blimey Don - almost ended up like Paul Hurst then - one finger gone! Of course I'll try and help out - can't guarantee the sobriety mind you. Stopping on the way down as I won't be able to get away until mid-day, by which time I suspect I'll need a parking permit for the dreaded M25. However, will be at Miskin by about 9:30 am on Friday.

I shall be running a small workshop session about the perils inherent in placing too much trust in the person at the trigger end of a chain saw.

You didn't really think it was possible to tag your hand while operating the thing, did you?

Sheesh!

Looking at my last post, it came out sounding a bit petulant. It was meant to be a joke.

The upside is I woke this morning with no pain, in fact I've had papercuts that hurt more.

Roll on tomorrow! Breafast somewhere on the M4, while they get finished with the morning rush hour, then lunch at Miskin, hopefully.
I can't recall ever having looked forward to a festival more. I'm sure it will be the best.

See you all there

Don,
They will be setting up tomorrow so you wont get any food at the festival at lunchtime but there is a pub just up the road in the village which you pass getting to the festival who does food.Tesco's are further down the dual carriageway in Talbot Green.

Easter just isn't Easter without Miskin!

Andy - have started packing my bag with some rolls of ribbon.
Steve & Sal- we both would love to mummer, shall we bring our kit - what do you need? Can you email words so that I can print them and stick onto Steve's sheild like we usually do?
Sue the Border - I'll bring the old box to play (so long as someone else plays and covers all my bum notes) - do you want us to bring spare tatters too?

See you all on Friday afternoon - are you sure I don't need my wellies?

Hi folks herself & I are already in Wales but way over to the west.

Original plan was to come over to Miskin on Thursday but not now leaving Cardigan till Friday morning. Hope there will be two beds still available in the bunkhouse when we get there.

Morticia and Idris arrive where I am later today and I assume will also arrive at Miskin on Friday as will Micca. we are all at Gervase and Mary-Jane's "Work-in progress" place " Heolas Fawr (Hell's Fire) at Y Ferwig (Earwig :-)!)near Cardigan.

See you all on Friday (and we have our contribution for the raffle)

For goodness sake, don't unpack your wellies - that's tempting fate that is!!

No probs Don, but injuries can be self-inflicted on hands with chainsaws - ever tried sharpening the blades? Glad it's not hurting too much but we'll have spare plasters anyway. See you tomoorow tea-time :-)

Breton Cap - hope all from the labouring gang will have enough energy to enjoy Miskin to the full, if not, perhaps we could set up a 'runner system' to the bar for you *grin*

Or try this blue clicky thing!!
click her for short cut!!


Thursday is Toby's 21st birthday and as there were going to be a lot of people milling around South Wales after a certain Nuptual event I took the precaution of getting the beer early obtaining licences food etc. Miskin Mill will be up and running from early Thursday evening. Session will be in full swing before the second beer is ordered I'm sure.
This is not a ticketed part of the weekend, just a pre festival get together so do come and join us Sian.
