From: Noreen Dave, threads only stay visible for 24hrs after the latest posting- so someone has to keep it current by refreshing it if you want it to stay visible. That is one of only two weekends between now and September whan I'm NOT away at a festival.... Hey, at the Shanty Festival in Liverpool, they were demonstrating how to MAKE a Baggyrinkle! So you could have one to take home, all for your own... :0) |

26 Jun 03 - 08:12 AM (#972615) Subject: RE: Swansea Maritime Festival -Who's going? From: Skipper Jack Thanks Noreen & Crane Driver for answering my query. Noreen, I have got more (w)rinkles than I need and as for the "Baggy"? No comment! We hit on the name for our group after it was explained to me by the skipper of the Maria Asumpta what a "baggyrinkle" was. The crew had set up a display along the wall of the Swansea Maritime Museum at the 1994 Swansea Maritime festival. Sadly, the "Grand Old Lady" was wrecked off the Cornish Coast in May 1995. I was honoured to be invited to a memorial service in Greenwich for the Maria and for the three crew members who perished with her. The Maria Asumpta is still fondly remembered at the Swansea Maritime Festival. Dave R. |

I'm trying to learn to sing in Cymraeg, since I have so little opportunity to speak it - unless I want to drive them mad at Starrrrrbucks! Dioch, Chris |
