25 Aug 02 - 06:21 PM (#771429) Subject: Llanstock III From: Llanfair I'm checking in from Lincolnshire, where I'm visiting my son, daughter in law and grandson, but we'd better make a start. Mid-October gathering in beautiful Mid-Wales. Some minor changes, one being that there will be a programme of workshops......potential leaders please PM me, and another is that there will be a small charge because the cost of the Institute has doubled since last year. Camping and caravans should be OK at the railway again, and Pippins is still open, phone number on request. I'm a bit wary about organising accommodation this year, because of problems last time, but I will do what I can. Hands up who wants to come!!!!! Cheers, Bron. |

27 Aug 02 - 04:31 PM (#772451) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Llanfair I have just arrived home to the news that Pippins has been sold, and is to become an art gallery!!! I'll verify it tomorrow, and let you know. I'll try to find an alternative trailer for you. 18th 19th and 20th October seems to work for us!!!! Any more takers? Cheers, Bron. |

27 Aug 02 - 04:40 PM (#772458) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Gareth Pipins Sold ! To become an Art Gallery No more wholemeal Fried Bread ! Its bad enough with the Gentrification of Kairdiff - But Llanfair as well, words fail me ! Gareth |

27 Aug 02 - 06:10 PM (#772508) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Crane Driver Mumbles and civilisation! Oh my! I could probably cope with that. If only I can find somewhere to lay my weary bones at the end of the day - preferably somewhere with room for all the weary fat as well - 18 to 20 October sounds good so far. Andrew |

27 Aug 02 - 06:10 PM (#772509) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Susanne (skw) Yes please, I want to come, Bron! Trouble is, I won't be able to ... Enjoy yourselves, everybody, and I'll go and plot how to get my early retirement. |

27 Aug 02 - 07:06 PM (#772539) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Eric the Viking looking good-any chance of a bit of cushion in the trailer? I'm short enough to fit on one of the bunks. |

28 Aug 02 - 02:37 AM (#772755) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Liz the Squeak We were a bit concerned about Pippins, last year the owner was toying with the idea of putting on the market just to see what interest there would be... obviously there was enough. Got any other B&B places in the town? Failing that, I'm happy to be trailer trash but Manitas is getting on a bit and likes his comfort, besides, I'd hate to subject others to his snoring. Bratling sleeps in the starfish position wherever she drops so that's no problem. I have in the past, put her in a box and pushed her under a table where she remained asleep until a dog licked her ear.... We would camp, but August was wet enough, October would be just too much! Lady P are you requiring transport again? LTS |

28 Aug 02 - 05:19 AM (#772796) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Trevor Yep, me too, and probably some of the other BC regulars. Do you want me to sort the beer? (Could do with the last barrel back BTW). And I know we're a bit away (half hour-ish) but if anybody wants accommodation at Squilver give me a shout. |

28 Aug 02 - 03:09 PM (#773116) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Liz the Squeak SHOUT!! SHOUT!! Can you manage a couple and a bratling?? I don't care where I sleep (shut up you lot), Manitas snores and Bratling will sleep where she falls. We all like animals (although sheep can be a bit troublesome and Manitas has this thing about big spiders) and we don't piss in the wardrobes. Well I don't. Bratling hasn't done since she was 2.

Now, the new owners of Pippins (shame, but hope all goes well with the sale) won't mind if we use the trailer as usual, will they.............? Or can you fit the trailer in your back garden, Bron? *grin* Noreen |

|
29 Aug 02 - 05:54 AM (#773464) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: MudGuard Bron - a question just in case the trailer is not available: would it be possible to use the Institute? Plenty of space there, but of course there could be regulations against sleeping in there... |

Therefore, sadly, I will not be able to be there with you all *sniff* but I will be there in spirit :0) I'll enjoy reading about the preparations here. Noreen |

29 Aug 02 - 05:58 PM (#773884) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Llanfair I am going to write to the Institute committee about accommodation, Andy, I had thought of it. We will miss you, Noreen, but I'm sure we'll see you soon. There will be no accommodation at Pippins, Julia and Jim are moving out at the end of September, but there are some alternatives that I am checking out!!! Cheers, Bron. |

29 Aug 02 - 06:19 PM (#773899) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Liz the Squeak I'm shouting because Trevor told us to if we wanted accommodating. Hate to be left out in the cold by the chip shop with no-where to lay my little bratling but the gutter (like it would be the first time she's slept there.....!) LTS |

30 Aug 02 - 07:34 PM (#774553) Subject: RE: Llanstock III From: Gareth Not a million miles away from Welshpool, to the East, about halfway between thre and Shrewsbury is Welshmans Ford. This marked the boundary where all Welsh had to be to the West of before nightfall, on pain of Summary Execution. I have no doubt that the converse was also true. Remember - Us Celts hold grdges untill they die of old age - Then we have them stuffed and mounted so that following Generations can join in. Hence Click Here Garydd/Gareth |

Bradfordian April Showers Come on, what is keeping you all from coming, UK catters?
