08 Jun 02 - 11:40 AM (#726025) Subject: RE: BS: Beverley Friary From: Les from Hull You only need to be able to cadge a lift. You're greatest expense could be a piece of cardboard with the word BEVERLEY written on it in felt-tip pen. (I suppose that some of you might want to try some of the many beers available that weekend, so it might be best to bring some beer tokens with you) |

09 Jun 02 - 05:01 AM (#726432) Subject: RE: Beverley Friary From: Sir Roger de Beverley Yes, the 60 beers on offer in the Sun (hand picked by me) and the special festival brew at Hodgson's (session bitter) mean that the local CAMRA branch are coming "en masse" for a tasting. The music will be good too (and free) |

09 Jun 02 - 05:04 AM (#726433) Subject: RE: Beverley Friary From: Sir Roger de Beverley Incidentally, if you haven't been to Beverley before (or even if you have)we have arranged for a guided historical walk of the town beginning at 11am Sunday (23rd)and finishing at around 12.30 at Beverley's oldest pub - the Sun. And that is free too |

10 Jun 02 - 02:46 PM (#727079) Subject: RE: Beverley Friary From: Les from Hull Anyone coming to Beverley and interested in music should check out the many carvings of musicians in the Minster - hurdy-gurdy, viol, bagpipe, lute etc. The motif for the Beverley and East Riding Folk Festival (a bagpipe player affectionately known as 'man biting leg of octopus') was designed from one of these carvings. |

11 Jun 02 - 06:56 AM (#727408) Subject: RE: Beverley Friary From: Mr Red John from Hull Think Gloucester. It's a bit of a haul. If it works-out I will be there, I used to have a billet in Grayburn Lane for festivals but that is now a sleeping dog............. |
