Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Jock O' Dreams Date: 22 Mar 07 - 06:50 PM I am really sorry to here this news Andy, you must be gutted! What a petty world we live in! But keep your chin up and never let the B---ards get you down. Thanks for all the hard work anyway and fingers crossed for next year! Jim |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 22 Mar 07 - 07:07 PM Andy, I can't tell you how sad this makes me, but steaming mad as well. Don't know what I'll do for Easter now, apart from giving my gutless ex Morrisman MP a right good shellacking about not signing the EDM concerning licemcing law. Here's hoping for better treatment next year, they've knocked the guts out of this one. Don T. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: vectis Date: 22 Mar 07 - 07:18 PM Oh S**t. It must be soooo galling after all that hard work to end up with nowt. Big hugs to both of you and let's pray for next year. Now what do we all do with our fixed vans and all that port and cheese? Is there a campsite with statics (for the indoor campers) and an on-site pub with decent beer or a pub with a stable, skittle alley or barn attached in the south Wales or Wiltshire area we could all meet at for a bloody good sing? The 7 stars at Pewsey used to have a small campsite out back as did the Greendown hotel at Cardiff. Only a thought I'll get me coat... |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: bubblyrat Date: 22 Mar 07 - 07:56 PM There"s always Gosport and Fareham festival ,of course, although it seems to be almost entirely Fareham this year. No consolation if you don"t live within travelling distance of Pompey , but better than no Easter festival at all, isn"t it ?? Of course, if anyone has a better idea, like another Welsh venue for example ( BUT---nowhere near Miskin, as Andy asks ! ) , then I"m sure lots of us would be up for it !! Any ideas ??? |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Hawker Date: 22 Mar 07 - 08:12 PM I have started another thread entitled Miskin 2007 cancelled! I have done this incase anyone doesn't visit this thread regularly and was planning to go to Miskin, incase they miss the announcement. Hope this is OK - I have copied and pasted Andy's announcement. Just supporting the need to make sure everybody knows it is cancelled! Will miss you all at Easter this year! I think we are going to have an at home sesh anybody fancy North Cornwall?!!!!! Cheers, Lucy |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Richard Atkins Date: 22 Mar 07 - 08:39 PM Andy & Jill no refund please, was hard enough to pay in the first place ! Just feel so down for you both at the moment.Hils the same ! Our regrets cancelled by thoughts and Love for you both at this time. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Richard Bridge Date: 22 Mar 07 - 11:52 PM Damn! My heart goes out to you, Miskin Man. Those of us who have done no more than plan and play fix-a-van etc will all be disappointed, but for you it must be devastating. In the fullness of time I would like to know why you could not be covered by a TEN - I thought the "once a year" thing was exactly what TENs were for. Many here would, I imagine, like to wrote to your local authority to query their view of the law - but in your own time. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: The Barden of England Date: 23 Mar 07 - 02:47 AM It's scandalous the way you've been treated Andy & Jillie. Allowed last year, and not this. What are the local government officers up to down there? For my part please don't refund - as we both want to be there next year to see you all again. Thanks for all your hard work trying to put on Miskin this year and hopefully things will turn out better for the coming year. John & Jan Barden |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Mar 07 - 03:15 AM To Jillie and Andy. You know how i feel about it.Next year will be bigger and better. Love you both. Yas. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Andy Jackson Date: 23 Mar 07 - 03:23 AM Thanks Hawker, I did wonder about a new thread. I expect both will co-exist for a while. I might then ask Joe to combine them. Oh and Richard, look at the lengths Miskin will go to to give you time to get your van properly sorted and palatial, so you can arrive in a manner to which you would like to become accustomed Love to all, Andy |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: MBSLynne Date: 23 Mar 07 - 03:29 AM Yes..what everyone else said. It just about puts the lid on our last 12 months. Andy, I hope you and Jilly can make it to Ted's do...I really need to give you a hug. I, too, would like to write to the local authority. I even have the letter composed in my head. Can you let us know if and when we can do so? I wasn't going to be abusive but just explain what Miskin is to so many of us. Shady wants to write too. She is devastated. She says it's the only place she gets to see many friends, particularly Maddie and Lizzie. All the best luck with the negotiations and anything we can do...... See all of you sometime, somewhere, though Miskin was going to be my only festival this year Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Andy Jackson Date: 23 Mar 07 - 03:59 AM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I know you all want to help and vent your disappointment on somebody. But this is the very last thing we need at the moment. My statement was carefully worded, " Please don't ask questions, or offer suggestions, we have fought very hard and been around most routes. Furthermore, any speculation or laying of blame could very easily upset the delicate negotiations we are involved in to secure the future of Miskin at Easter. When the time is right I will rally the troups, but until then just shout at the wall or me, anybody but the official world. Thanks, Andy |
|
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: MBSLynne Date: 23 Mar 07 - 04:02 AM Well, as I said...Anything we can do. Just be sure to let us know what you need and when. Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Wuzzle Date: 23 Mar 07 - 05:16 AM We are so sorry Andy and Jillie, we are thinking of you and sending good thoughts and love. Row on Row on Gilly & Tony |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Folkiedave Date: 23 Mar 07 - 05:42 AM I am sorry to see any event cancelled because of licensing laws. Following, in our view, over zealous application of powers embodied in the new licencing act, we have been forced to cancel Miskin at Easter for this year. I am sure everyone will respect your wishes regarding the local authority, but if any local authority are applying the law in an overzealous way then the only way that this can be stopped is by pointing the stupidity to a wider audience in particular members of Parliament. A number of people are in frequent correspondence with their local MP about the absurdities of this act (including me) and we are constantly asked for examples. Is is possible to tell us the details of what the actual problem is? Or even what sort of licence you applied for? I understand any reluctance to do so. |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: North/South Annie Date: 23 Mar 07 - 06:04 AM PLEASE everyone take note of what Andy is saying. Knowing him he will have already 'gone to the ends of the earth' to keep Miskin'07 running. If there are now negotiations going on for future Miskin's then please respect that and DO NOTHING. As he says, Andy will 'rally the troups' when and if he needs to. Miskin Man & Jillie we love you both! |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Fidjit Date: 23 Mar 07 - 06:10 AM Oh Andy and Jilly what a blow ! Folks I found Miskin for the first time last year and thought like you all do What a wonderfull place. UTOPIA ! Certainly a place to come back to. I really feel for you Andy. Back to bed to cry now. (My new engine cost me £2000,-) Pass the Kleenex. Chas |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Selchie - (RH) Date: 23 Mar 07 - 07:34 AM Very sad news indeed. So sorry to hear it Andy & Jillie. Thinking of you both & all your team, what a loss ~ one of the best, friendliest, relaxed gatherings of the year. You don't deserve the disappointment after all your efforts in making Miskin special for all of us. We're all there for you & thinking of you & yours very much. Love & hugs to you all, Rosie S xxxxxx |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: My guru always said Date: 23 Mar 07 - 07:35 AM So terribly sorry to have heard about this and my heart goes out to Andy and Jillie: thank you for all your hard word and heartache, sending positive thoughts! As Annie has said they would have tried to move Heaven and Earth to make Miskin happen this year, but it was not to be this year. What will be, will be. Am hoping that Andy's negotiations will bring sussess for Miskin at Easter 2008! |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: My guru always said Date: 23 Mar 07 - 07:41 AM Hmmm... that was supposssssed to be success :-) |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Seaking Date: 23 Mar 07 - 07:49 AM Andy/Jillie, we'll just have to squeeze TWO years worth of fun, music and love into Miskin 2008. We're gutted for you in the meantime... Chris and all the Mash crew |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: MBSLynne Date: 23 Mar 07 - 08:28 AM Such a gentle, peaceful gathering. Hard to see how anyone could object..... Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: GUEST,Bill Mckinnon Date: 23 Mar 07 - 08:43 AM Hi Everyone I hope you don't mind a non member making a post but I have been following and enjoying this thread from the beginning. Joan and I were made very welcome at Crediton Mudgathering and I just wanted to say how, like everyone else, we are so upset by this awful turn of events. We send our love and support to Andy and Jillie and to all Miskinites. Bill and Joan |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Essex Girl Date: 23 Mar 07 - 09:42 AM Why o why? The best festival of the year. This government has hit rock bottom as far as I'm concerned. At the moment we are fighting to stop a local pub (in a residential area) being turned into a late night 'gentlemans club' with a 5a.m. closure, and we know what that means!! Could the booking fees go to your nominated charities Andy? |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: GRex Date: 23 Mar 07 - 09:54 AM Deeply sorry to hear the bad news. I was hoping to make Miskin for the first time this year. After folowing this thread from it's begining and having Miskin recomended by many of my friends who are regular attenders, it's a big disapointment. I'm sure all the port and cheese won't go to waste. Will miss the sight of Geordie Porgie jumping the broom. GRex |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: GUEST,David Kilpatrick Date: 23 Mar 07 - 09:58 AM This bureacracy makes me angry/worried, because in Scotland we don't have any of it right now, and I'm deeply concerned that Wastemonster will try to force it on us. We run countless musical events through the year, freely and openly, in any venue we choose, any time, without needing a single permission beyond PRS. Why don't you all hit the haughs of Coldstream (about a mile over the border), Longtown, Gretna, Yetholm, Jedburgh or somewhere suitable and stage a public protest by doing the entire lot without licencing or any worries? A hell of a way to go. Or do a mass ferry transit to Ireland where you are free to do the same. Or Brittany. David |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: skipy Date: 23 Mar 07 - 10:54 AM I know why you cancelled it mate! Scared of the dress off! Really sorry to read about this, you can blame me if you wish, because we where going to come this year! Best regards, Skipy |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Geordie-Peorgie Date: 23 Mar 07 - 01:54 PM Reet! Listen up!! Aah've just owned up te Mrs P aboot the 'Silver Wedd'n' Surprise' She sez aah'm a greet fond fyul and aah should be locked up fo' me own safety. She had a bit 'toot' iniv her hankie te think that yez were aall ganna be there sharin' our moment an' aall ..... So when she'd calmed doon she decided that NEXT YEAR the 6th is on a Saturday and we can dee it then - We can get an early start and if we faall oot then we've not wasted the whole day! What aah'm sayin' here is.... There WILL be Miskin next year if Andy & Jilly can pull it off AND The Lovely Shirl and me wants yez aall there again. In the meantime aah'll see some of yez arrond the bazaars (or should that be 'bizarres') and share a beer or two wi' ye Love and Kisses te yez aall |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Mrs Scarecrow Date: 23 Mar 07 - 03:44 PM Have already emailed Andy and Gilly separately but just wanted to say how sad it makes me feel that I will not be seeing all my friends who live at a distance in only two weeks time and it may now be a longer wait till we all get together love Ann |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Schantieman Date: 23 Mar 07 - 04:14 PM Oh Andy! Just seen this. After all your hard work and building it up over the years! You must be devastated. Hugs to you and Jillie too. You only have to read the other messages to see how much this festival means to people. I'd like to add my feeling to that. I hope you can sort it out. As soon as you find a way for us to help PLEASE let us all know. Steve |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: My guru always said Date: 24 Mar 07 - 06:10 AM Hey Bill McKinnon, you're very welcome here, you & Joan make lovely Guests!!! Not sure I can wait a whole year for Geordie-Peorgie & the Lovely Shirl to do the jumping, but if they're prepared to wait then so be it!! Miskin lost souls please see this thread! |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Dame Pattie Smith EPNS Date: 24 Mar 07 - 06:20 AM I`m thinking of you Andy and Gilly. I`ll drink a big toast to Miskin on my birthday - and the rest of the week...next year is going to be a stonker!! Fate moves in mysterious ways. (I`m a born optimist) X |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: MBSLynne Date: 24 Mar 07 - 08:12 AM Geordie-Porgie, your handfasting was one of the things I was looking forward to this Miskin. I'm glad you're going to save it until next year so we won't miss out. Meanwhile we'd all better keep our eyes open for interesting and different ports, cheeses etc...we have more time to get sorted for a REALLY interesting wine and cheese next year! Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Geordie-Peorgie Date: 24 Mar 07 - 09:27 AM After aah owned up to the plans for us at Miskin, Mrs P spent the whole evenin' lookin' across the room, smilin' arruz and gannin' "Aahhh!" - She's telt me Mother In Laa, so aah think aah'm ganna be back in her will! Aah hope aah can keep the momentum gannin' for another year! One good thing to come out of aall this though!

Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 07 From: Andy Jackson Date: 25 Mar 07 - 07:33 AM Hello all, just a quickie to say how many tears of joy have been shed here over the kind comments. I know you realise the mammoth task involved in telling everyone and deflecting a little flak, so please accept my apologies if I haven't yet contacted you personally. I have looked at every photo on the website and felt your loss as well as mine. Lynne posted elsewhere about how much fun we had on this thread. I'll go along with that, go on gissa larf. You know how much I love you all so I won't go all soppy and say that again!!! Andy XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
