Ray,

Phil the Landlord will let anyone "vanning" in the pub car park (which backs onto open fields and is quite pleasant.....with views over to the distant Dales) use pub toilet facilities etc overnight.

Again, if people let me know, I'm sure Phil will also put on big, reasonably priced breakfasts as well....he' a good guy who is keen to get out folky custom which makes a pleasant change!

Let me know.

Well come on down (or up!) on the 24th then Ray!

Indoor camping is only planned for The Winter Warmer Weekend in February....but if anyone wants it for Nov 24th, please let me know in the next few days and I will try and organise something. B & B is available 2 miles away if Black Horse is full (I'm checking later).....and I only know of 3 vans planned so far so lots of room for more in the huge pub car park.

If anyone does want a Yorkshire gathering....again let me know what you want and when(having never been to one) and I'll I'm sure we can accommodate here in Kirkby Fleetham.

We're only a mile and a bit off the A1 so pretty accessible.

Good lord Paul you are a beggar for punishment but of course you are right Kirkby Fleetham would be ideal

I don't know exactly what you are looking for but you could do a lot worse than The Black Horse, Kirkby Fleetham where we are just about to start Kirkby Fleetham Folk Club (24th November) and hold a mini fest in February.

KFFC & Black Horse

Folk friendly, large car park for campers etc, B & B....and indoor camping can also be arranged in the Village Hall.

Just a thought........

oh emma it took me ages to do that! and you beat me to it, I felt so proud of myself, yes I have camped there and stayed there, the camping is a small paddock opposite the hotel, they leave the outside toilets open all night, trick is for someone to book into hotel and then use the shower

Homeless? Jobless? Don't expect any sympathy from this lot; they'll just slap you down some more.

Jane, sorry to hear about your birthday not going as planned.

Sorcha, no, it's not.

Just to reassure everyone I had a lovely birthday. Geoff and I went to Whitby and then on the actual day had ameal out with the family - not quite a gathering as planned but I had a great time. We don't get out as much these days so I don't have the same sort of relationship with pub landlords needed to get a gathering organised. Should that situation ever change maybe it will happen again - who knows.

I agree with Rhiannon, you did a wonderful job Jane.

Well said, Sorcha!

As to Jane not booking anymore Gatherings, well I, for one, will really miss these - they were one of the highlights of my year and Jane does a brilliant job.

Regarding the Black Dog - well the present landlord hasn't upset anyone to my knowledge and it was a great place for the gatherings.

I am having a hard time believing this. Mrs. Duck books a party, the landlord runs off, shows up here, plays a sympathy card,hopes that Mrs. Duck 'had a nice party', wants a re book, not even to mention the Baby thing...rather obvious that this Gary isn't a regular Catter.

And Jane, I DO understand about not wanting to be an Organizer anymore. It gets wearing.

I'd gather that if there ever is a Yorkshire Gathering in the future that it won't be at the Black Dog?

Restraint isn't one of my better qualities, is it?

It also clashes with Brigg Fiddle Festival, which has a very good lineup this year.

With only six weeks to go I need some idea if this is going to be going ahead. So far I have only got a small handful of people who have expressed an interest. I know it clashes with the new Shepley festival and Yorks day of folk so maybe we should cancel?

We had this same discussion last year but the Yorkshire Gathering has always been the weekend before bank holiday and it isn't possible to change the date as there are already other things that it would clash with if moved.
