Not that I'm planning ahead or anything but do we have a date for 07?
Back to the usual school end of term or staying at the end of the month? We are bringing Clarabelle for the first time this year, when does the campsite open?

Could be interesting!

Saddleworth is of course in Yorkshire and what a lovely place and smashing pubs ~ sitting by the side of the canal, or in the Civic Hall listening to Eric Bogle and John Monroe, with a pint served by Glen and Chris

Them there two Tom's are there as well)

No doubt the Sunday night in the Cross Keys again then a trip back 'Over the Mountains' to Holmfirth on Monday

If it rains tho' you can swim on the camp site (sorry Ali)!
If it dunt you can sunbathe and them Moor and Coast people for you brekkie and Midnight feast!

Lovely Touristy area

I had planned to get over this year but Peter has the Wailing Jennies at the Picturedrome on Saturday night and me and Jenny will be doing a raffle to raise funds for next year's Holmfirth Festival of Folk (cheap plug!) but maybe we might manage to drop in on Sunday.

The Wailin' Jennys?? They're great (and so's Holmfirth), but no contest - we all know Saddleworth's unique, and happens but once a year! I know where I'll be!

Linda Kelly and I will be there - providing the battle bus gets us safe to and from Warwick this w/end. The weather hasn't helped my throat. Anyone else suffering? Is alcohol the answer?? Or is tonic and lime the culprit. I'll have the 'vocalzones' ready and I believe I MUST bring mozzie repellant!
It's my first Sadleworth - I hope it's fun.

Pisachio - make certain you don't spray the mozzies with throat lube and your siging bits wih fly repellant. We don't want mosquitos singing as they throw themselves into our beer.
See you there.
Quack!

Alcohol isnt the answer to a bad throat long term

Hazel, I to suffer at this time of the year with voice problems, I have been told by very wise people it is lot to do with pollen count and that.

Drinking loads of water this weather certainly helps - and did I say this? no alchohol as we all know this dehydrates you..

Also I really suffer from the "Mudgies". This year acting on advice I have been taking vitamin B complex coupled with spraying meself with "Jungle" beastie repellant and this seems to do the trick.

I have been told that a skin preperation from "Avon" is the best anti midge thing going.

See you at Warwick this weekend were we can compare potions.

the Avon midge stuff is the Soft and Fresh Dry Oil Body spray, my friend who's normally eaten alive took some to Dubai and Singapore to try and didn't get bitten once. I've been using it and you can see midge swarms moving away when you spray it on!

One person who won't be there is Alio - the Festival Director.

She's in hospital, having had an operation to remove a diverticulosis from her intestine. She's in a lot of pain, and likely to stay in hospital for two weeks, with at least a month or two convalescence afterwards.

I'm sure you will join with me in wishing her well... I expect to visit her in hospital within the next couple of days, and will report back.
