Count me in - we've got space reserved for the campervan. Seems a long way off, but with the Solstice tomorrow the sun will soon start rising in the sky and we'll be on our way to Spring.

Crediton Folk Festival 2006

Midwinter Blessings to all.

Polly.

Folks, maybe y'alls could help me with something. I've been working on WWII stories written by a late, dear friend. Part of his childhood during the war was spent in Devon, in the area of Chawleigh. If it would be possible to enquire about a "Bells Farm" owned by the Webber family in the mid-1940's, it would be a HUGE thing to be able to show a picture to his surviving family on this side of the pond. He went to school in nearby Chulmleigh.

His military service was near Exeter, in the late 40's, and he was based at Topsham Barracks for basic training.

A rough draft of his stories is here at Mudcat, in the thread, "Proofreading Help Needed ASAP." The links I have found so far are also in that thread.

Thanks for any help,

~Susan

Well, that's 5 of us then, enough for a decent round (of beer at least)!!! Just gotta get a suitable time then - I suggested Saturday tea-time to Pete the other day as it's usually a fairly 'slack' time at most festivals - but I haven't any idea of the program yet.

For any Catters who haven't yet experienced the delights of the Crediton Festival, it's free and centred around the Ring of Bells at Cheriton Fitzpaine which has Real Ale (hoorah) & good reasonably priced food. There's provision for caravans & campers & indoor & outdoor camping & lots going on including:

Local & National Folk Performers & Concerts
Singarounds & Music Sessions
Morris Dancing & Mumming & Hoodening
Saturday Night Supper Bash
Medieval Combat Show
& now a MudGather!!!

Unfortunately no web-site, but I have a contact email addy if you'd like to PM me (I'm still wary of putting people's details on the net, ain't I the silly one...)

I will be there, cunningly disguised as a Shakespeare Mummer (as will a certain hirsute, concertina-playing fellow).

So, as long as our performances don't clash with the gather ...
