19 May 09 - 04:56 PM (#2636035) Subject: Folklore: MudGather at Alcester SummerFest UK From: My guru always said We'll be holding a programmed MudGather at Alcester SummerFest on Saturday 20th June, probably around tea-time. Sounds like a good time for a chocolate fix to me *grin* I understand that Ken Nichol & Phil Cool will be doing funny folkie things on the Saturday too! If you're quick and book your tickets before 1st June you'll get the 'early bird' rate of £48 for the festival weekend, camping extra as usual. So, who's planning on joining the fun at Alcester? |

21 May 09 - 07:38 AM (#2637440) Subject: RE: MudGather at Alcester SummerFest UK From: Moses Hils, I think Roger & Karen will be buying suits n 'ats and learning to eat cucumber sarnies with the crusts cut off and to drink tea from china cups :o) (It's a joke Bubblyrat, I'm sure you do this all the time) On another matter, I think, sadly, we will miss the mudgather although we are booked at Alcester as we plan to rush off to a 60th birthday celebration.

Keep yours eyes peeled for press reports of a large German caravan getting stuck in Dulverton's narrow streets. |

09 Jun 09 - 09:54 AM (#2652183) Subject: RE: MudGather at Alcester SummerFest UK From: GUEST,Sue the Borderer And I shall be Herbaceousing along (I hope) with lots of you. Will be around lunch-time or early afternoon on both the Saturday and Sunday in the Holly Bush Garden. Look out for posters in the Greig Hall, the Holly Bush and on the Camp Site with final details (inviting everyone to come and join in dance some border morris or play in the band.) It would be wonderfully helpful to know who might be able to play .... and good to know who might come and dance (beginners welcome. I've got the sticks and the jackets.) Sue |

Duncan: No probs, we could all see that you were busy enjoying yourself, and long may you continue to do so!! |
