05 Apr 06 - 08:59 PM (#1711550) Subject: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Susan of DT Hello friends Dick and I are planning to go to Whitby again this August (Aug 19-25). Current thoughts are to arrive in the UK right before Whitby and stay thru Fylde at the beginning of September (Sept 1-3), perhaps flying in and out of Manchester. We have arranged the cottage in Whitby, but have not yet gotten the plane tickets. This schedule would give us the week between Whitby and Fylde to visit friends old and new. Who would like us to visit them? You can post, PM, or e-mail (susan@digitrad.org dick@digitrad.org dick@camsco.com). |

Certainly worth a visit if you are travelling from Yorkshire towards Manchester that day:-) It is also a singers night at the White Lion in Swinton - Anyone fancy getting together that night? Cheers Dave the Gnome |

10 Apr 06 - 01:15 PM (#1714622) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Susan of DT Where and what is Saddleworth rushcart? Which Swinton, there seem to be several? |

10 Apr 06 - 03:35 PM (#1714712) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Bassic I imagine its the Swinton near Salford and Manchester. |

11 Apr 06 - 08:13 AM (#1715073) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Dave the Gnome and Swinton is the Swinton near Salford and Manchester - Quite close to where I am if you can place it. Cheers DtG |

11 Apr 06 - 12:25 PM (#1715217) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: LesB Hi peeps, I'll see you ar Whitby & i'm glad you're thinking of coming to Fylde Festival @ Fleetwood. However I don't know if you have got accomodation sorted for Fleetwood? but it could be a bit difficult are very few guest houses in Fleetwood., & they tend to get booked year on year). Clevelys is a 10-15 min drive/taxi away and there is more accomodation there. You could try these links thornton-cleveleys.co.uk smoothhound.co.uk (Smooth Hound is my favorite accomodation website). The North Euston is the town largest hotel and a festival venue, but is a bit pricey. Cheers Les |

11 Apr 06 - 12:51 PM (#1715239) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Susan of DT Les - We are looking at borrowing camping gear for Fylde and have a couple of offers of gear. What mudcatters go to Fylde? We would like to visit with people between the two festivals (Aug 26-31) and no one has yet said they would like us to visit other than saying hello at Whitby. Since both Whitby and Fylde are more or less in the middle of the UK, we can go North or South in between. |

11 Apr 06 - 06:17 PM (#1715528) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: GUEST,Jack Campin Dick, is there any chance you'll be up near Edinburgh after the 28th? I can't get down to England before then, anyway. |

12 Apr 06 - 04:21 AM (#1715937) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Dave the Gnome I would certainly love you to visit us, Susan:-) Monday 27th August - Swinton Folk Club , The White Lion, Swinton, Manchester. Singers night. I will try to get other local catters there if I can. Accomodation either at our place or elsewhere local - Sunday and Monday OK? Presuming you are off to Fylde on Friday what are you planning the rest of the week between us and then? Is that what you are trying to sort out here? The Lakes or Yorkshire dales could be very nice with a tent - Depending on the weather of course! I can recommend some very good routes in the Dales. I am not as good on the Lakes but I am sure someone here is. Cheers Dave |

12 Apr 06 - 11:09 AM (#1716158) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Dave Wynn Yeah......Come and have a sing in Swinton. Dave the G is a great host and his wife is a stunning cook. The White Lion has fizzy lagers and really old fashioned traditional beers (it also has the finest singers in the country doesn't it dave?). Spot the Dog |

14 Apr 06 - 04:20 PM (#1718305) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Les from Hull You know, Spot, one look at Dave and I thought 'I bet his wife's a really good cook!'. Looking forward to meeting up again in Whitby with Dick and Susan. I'm sure that there'll be an equally warm welcome over in Lancashire (in spite of what we're reputed to say about each other's county, I must confess it's my second favourite one of all - my brother's over there doing missionary an' all). I'm off to hide under a really large Yorkshire Pudding now! |

14 Apr 06 - 06:15 PM (#1718364) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Susan of DT We usually spend the time we are not at festivals visiting with mudcatters. Our route gets determined by who has said they want to see us, usually a mix of old and new friends. In the past we have either flown into London or Glasgow, which determined whether we were seeing Southern or Northern mudcatters. Since we are flying into Manchester this time, we can go either way or not too far in both directions. At this point we are open between Swinton and Fylde. Who would like us to stop by? Dave - Isn't the 27th a Sunday? Is it Sunday or Monday? If Swinton is Monday, that gives gives us room for a visit that weekend, if it is not too far from Whitby and Manchester. Was there something in Guisborough right after Whitby? A mudcatter gathering that Saturday??? Thanx, all |

15 Apr 06 - 11:30 AM (#1718756) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Dave the Gnome You're quite right, Susan - It is indeed Monday the 28th I am talking about. 'ere, Les. What can you mean? :-) Cheers DtG |

07 Jun 06 - 07:00 PM (#1755287) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Susan of DT We have: 1) our plane tickets 2) our reservations for cottage in Whitby, which we are sharing with Charmion, Edmund, and Bill Sables 3) tickets with camping for Fylde Dave the Gnome and Bill Sables will pick us up or deliver us to rental car places and airports and take care of us at beginning and end of the trip Swinton/Manchester singers nite August 28. Maybe up to Edinburgh But we still have LOTS of open time. We usually move around and stay with mudcatters around the UK while we are there. It looks like nobody loves us this year. People have not been inviting us to come visit with them. Who would like us to come visit with them? |

07 Jun 06 - 08:41 PM (#1755334) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: GUEST,Jack Campin (Trying again, first reply failed). You're welcome to stay with us near Edinburgh. You had better not be allergic to cats, though. |

08 Aug 06 - 06:33 AM (#1804234) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Nick If you are free on the Wednesday you would be very welcome at The Thompsons Arms, Flaxton which is about 10 miles north of York nr Sheriff Hutton (probably 40 miles from Whitby). We have a mixed session/singaround sort of arrangement. It's not grand with airs and graces - just a bunch of people who get together to sing and play in the pub - but visitors are always welcome to come and join in. |

15 Aug 06 - 07:18 AM (#1810223) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: bbc Manchester had very similar rules to Heathrow last Thursday when we flew, but I hope it will be improved by the time you go. Safe journey! love, Barbara |

15 Aug 06 - 09:28 AM (#1810304) Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus & Susan to Whitby 2006 From: Susan of DT Barbara - same rules, but less mess. One article said Manchester was commended for having the least disruption. The severest rules are for coming back, rather than Eastbound, so there is time for things to settle down before we return in September. They do permit books now, which seemed to me to be the silliest rule. All I have to worry about on the way over is my inhaler. |

Security was the fastest we have seen it at Newark Airport - no onw ahead of us at the security gate. The usual wand treatment of Dick's metal knee. The added layer of security was searching hand luggage at the gate as we loaded the plane. We are off to Whitby in the next hour or two. Hope to see a lot of you. |
