Lincolnshire Folk are having their Spring Meeting on Sunday 1st March at the Welland Yacht Club in Spalding. We will begin at 2pm and aim to finish at 5ish. The format will be floor spots throughout the afternoon and finishing with a couple of dances.
This is basically an opportunity for people from all over our huge county to meet and share the music but we also welcome anyone from outside!
Read about previous events on our website.

Sounds good, folks! We are busy elsewhere but hope you have a good turnout and catch up with you before too long. Even the word 'Spring' sounds good to me, sigh!

I may come along on BWM's coat tails. Need to arrange a special pass for the evening though. (What do you do between 5.30 and 7.00 if you're so far from home?)

Eat drink and chat to all your friends BB. You could bring your Nintendo DS with you :-)

It's funny but I thought Bass was brewed in Burton Upon Trent :-)

Please bear in mind that the afternoon event will not have the PA system available. That is only being used for the evening.

Sorry I can't make it either...will be at the Dog and Bone, John St Lincoln - it's our usual first Sunday of the month session from 3pm onwards - be great to see some of you there next time maybe?

(BTW Gone to the Dogs will be headlining at the Lincoln Drill Hall for Paddy's Night - Wednesday March 17th - supported by Eddie O'Dwyer and Andrea Ferguson...see Drill Hall website for details.)

Best wishes Dáithí

Wheatman
I am not sure if Mike or Sue will have time to look in here, before tomorrow.
However, in answer to your question. Yes, you should get a song or 2.
It's just roll up and let them know.

Subject: RE: Lincolnshire Folk Spring Meeting
From: Backwoodsman

Wheatman, it's usually a 'Turn Up And Book A Spot On Arrival' kind of occasion, but a PM to Mudcatter 'Sooz' would be a good idea, to make sure you're not disappointed.

Every effort is made to ensure that no-one is disappointed, and it's very rare that anyone is!

I have left a message for Dave Longden to make sure the heating is on. If it isn't just have a word with him or Di & Tom behind the bar.

Tell them to charge it to Faldingworth Live

Well done Sooz. I thought you did a really good job of holding it all together, giving everyone a chance and keeping a nice relaxed but well-paced feel to the afternoon. I enjoyed hearing so many different people although I haven't managed to remember who everyone was!

I think a big thanks should go to Dave Longden for his hard work getting the food done and getting the bar and hall set up and a big thanks to Di & Tom for doing the bar.
I am very glad it was so successful. Well done Lincolnshire Folk.

I gather there were quite a few 'Catters there. Would have been nice to make the acquaintance of a few (BC amongst them). Maybe next time we should have a Mudcat Roll-Call?

And yes, it were a grand do. Good to see some new faces, and hear some great performances.
