And yes, Merek'n'Dary will be programming in an official MudGather at the Town & Country Club. I'm hoping it'll be around Saturday tea-time, though I've not seen a program yet. Definitely a MudRaffle event, so gather up those prizes to bring & collect all the chocolate you can find.... So, who'll be there? |

20 Sep 06 - 05:28 AM (#1838935) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Merek'n'Dary Just been catching up on the threads. It looks like a good gathering is building and Dary and I are looking forward to seeing all of you and I think, this year, there will be a big tin of Roses chocolates from the organisers! Sorry not to see all who have said they cannot make it but wish them all well. Some notes: The Town and Country Club is a free venue in the High Street, therefore you do not have to buy a festival ticket. However, if you want to camp at the official campsite there will be a charge of £5 pppn. The MudGather time is 3pm - 7pm Saturday 14th October. As previously stated, the Middle Bar Singers will be at the same venue 7-11pm (& onwards according to the landlord) Friday 13th (I know!), 7-11pm (& onwards according to the landlord) Saturday 14th and 12-3pm (& onwards according to the landlord). The festival "Big Sing" will also be in there led by festival artists John Morris, GMW, Alan Whitbread and Cappella from 12 noon-2.30pm. So everyone we know that loves singing can have a whole weekend of doing just that! Love to you all, Merek |

'Cos I don't think I've been in the Town and Country Club - sounds almost as 'upmarket'as the Conservative Club!! Anyhow cold I put my pennyworth in and also ask for a non-smoking singing room please? |
|
04 Oct 06 - 08:41 AM (#1850011) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: My guru always said It would certainly be nice if it were non-smoking but am not sure if we can arrange that with the club. The room we're in is still part of the club & has access to the car park and other essential facilities, so I don't think we'd be able to impose a non-smoking ban on the club members. But if the Catters themselves wanted to be non-smoking then surely that would help the situation? We could certainly discuss / decide / agree between ourselves to be non-smoking for the Gather. Tricky to try to get a majority vote on a thread many people may not see, but perhaps people could state their preference here & we'll see how it pans out? |
|
04 Oct 06 - 09:05 AM (#1850032) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Snuffy It seemed to work OK at the middle bar - just ask people if they wouldn't mind slipping out when they want a smoke or at least stand at the back near the door. |

04 Oct 06 - 12:55 PM (#1850283) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Richard Atkins I tend to avoid smoking in a sing, and would expect others to do the same without being told. There are some Club Members including the Landlord who are smokers though. They were mostly at the other end of this large venue last year where there are three large extractor fans. Check they are switched on. |

That is emotional blackmail Emma B, and is not exactly a constructive contribution to this discussion! I know you have other issues with overpowering perfumes, and deodorants causing you an adverse reaction. However the same is true of smoking as regards other people. Personally I defend the right to smoke, but not the right to impose it on others. We now have a total ban on smoking in public places here in Scotland, and I can tell you that going into a pub for a drink up here is now a much more pleasant experience for me. It is not too much to ask smokers to be circumspect, and to please not smoke in the room where the Mudmeet takes place is it? Giok |

07 Oct 06 - 07:11 AM (#1852625) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Mr Red just a small point, camp Site 1 location is not on maps but if you put OX16 1UT in multimap and zoom out one and look left one click you get Dukes Meadow Road ish Hope this helps. - yes, yes, the stewarding lists explains how to get there from the M4o but if you want to avoid the centre from other directions it helps to plan. Especially it you are towing at rush hour. |

08 Oct 06 - 03:42 PM (#1853434) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: John MacKenzie Sorry meant to say that, it isn't too clear on the leaflet that it's the quiet one, until you look at the accompanying map. Please don't confuse the two, or I will get beaten up by MereknDary. Giok ☺☻ |

08 Oct 06 - 05:48 PM (#1853521) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: My guru always said Am confused, so will you be selling tickets for people to come & watch the beating Giok :-) The 'quiet' one as I understand it is for persons with mobility problems or families (but maybe that's the same thing) and is Only by prior arrangement with Merek'n'Dary themselves. The main site is Hanwell Fields School which looks like a good site - see Mr Red's directions above! Don't forget to pack your chocolate goodies & raffle prizes - not compulsory but will be very gratefully received... |

08 Oct 06 - 10:03 PM (#1853695) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Merek'n'Dary Right - been looking at the thresds today and looks like I've to clear up some worries/confusions. First - Map. Following a call from Best Mate Richard (Yes sorry could not deal with it staight away cos I was trying to find my way across unknown territory in London to sign off the artwork for the festival programme), He said a lot of catters were having problems trying to find there way to the new campsite at Hanwell Fields because, being on a new housing estate, multi-map and streetmap have never heard of it. They have not even up-dated the town centre in Banbury which was re-built 7 years ago! No hope there! So, I have spent a whole day (sorry I lied - went out to meet friends for a drink about two hours) re-constructing the map I did for sending out to people who have bought tickets for the festival and my computer (or me) has lost in its wisdom (or not if it was me!). It is now done and hooray, I hear someone say, it is now on the Website. Not a brilliant re-production, but I am sure sufficiant for ya al' to read and know where you're going to camp. Second concern I see is if you have to get a season or any other ticket to camp. Answer is a definate NO! Being festivalite's ourselves, we know how important it is to look after everyone whether they buy tickets to see the artists, or if they just want to come and fringe it. There is room for all. We believe that a festival makes a fringe and a fringe makes a festival! Finally, Smoking. We do not make the rules here. If the Catters, or MBS, want to impose a ban it is up to them. The same at the Festival venues, smoking, if it is banned, it is done by the venue management's themselves - not by us as Festival Organisers. Hope that settles all of the worries. If not, do not hesitate to contact us. |

11 Oct 06 - 10:48 AM (#1855846) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: GUEST,Mr Red The whole point is that Dukes Meadow Road is too new to find on any map. Dukes Meadow Drive is on estate agent sales pages. The school is not listed as a school on the web. I just tried directory enquiries Hanwell Fields Community School telephone: 01295 709583 Rotary Way, off Southam Rd, Banbury. OX16 1SN that post code is not on multimap or streetfinder. Rotary way I assume is the road north of Tesco at the roundabout with no left turn on maps except the one I link to. On my map the dotted lines are what I assume to be the road and if you get there, there will be signs. I assume! And for Mick Finn or any Worcestershire people - here is Queensway & Woodgreen Avenue avoiding the town centre from the Bloxham Road which would come from Bloxham, Chipping Norton and all points west. |

12 Oct 06 - 02:59 PM (#1857105) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: alanww On Monday, Derek & I completed the production of the road signage and marked lamp posts etc to show the locations for puting it up. Just follow the signs!!! Unfortunately, the OX16 1ER postcode found by Snuffy on the Ofsted website gives a slightly wrong location on the Google map - you should go off at the second roundabout from the main road (not the first) and then its 100 yards on the right. [To complicate it further, the school's postcode on the Oxfordshire Education website is OX16 1SN but that isn't yet registerable on Google or Multimap or MapQuest!] The signs will show you!!! See you all tomorrow. "I will roam the mountains o'er!" Alan |

13 Oct 06 - 03:40 AM (#1857552) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Mr Red cartographical orientation layouts to you. New locations and poor access to maps is important burble for working folk and it got us to a point that we will have next year - accurate KNOWLEDGE. Those who leave work at 4 or 5pm and towing (some of us can take caravans to work) will be hard pushed to find things in the rush hour. My point is that signage is usually good at folk festivals BUT it is good for the folk who put it there - not the driver who doesn't know where the signs might be, has idiots coming at them from all directions and those pesky kids coming home from school and see a target to be removed, turned or generally dis-heavalled. My advice is to check signage at 4pm and 6pm - as I am on duty somewhere - probably campsite 1, I may be doing it myself at 5.55. And it helps to have a printable map so that we can visualise where we are going before we arrive. Would you sing a song in a singaround without consulting and memorising the words in advance? I rest my case. |

Mr Red: Many thanks for all your efforts to get us to our campsites safely, towing in Banbury traffic - it really is much appreciated. I'm certain Richard meant no offence, he probably thought that the maps and signs would be sufficient. But you are quite correct in expressing concern for tired drivers, thanks again! Hope you'll get a chance to come along to the Gather - we'll all recognise you, even in disguise *grin* Looking back over this thread, and remembering the one for last year's Banbury, I'm surprised that not a single person has mentioned one of the most important things: What sort of beer will be on offer at the Gather venue? Well, the answer is - I don't know, I'm just hoping it'll be a good one - and that there'll be cider for MBSLynne! And of course, there's been little discussion on the chocolate front...... So pack your smiles, songs, chocolate & raffly prizes & have a safe journey - see you there!!! |

Thanks to MGSA for letting us sing at the beginning of the session at Banbury , Sorry we (that's me and Mr Scarecrow who has not yet signed up) could'nt stay for the whole session.Thank you for allowing us to be part of sessions at previous Banbury's and at Bedworth last year. Hopefully I have now got the New Computer sufficiently tamed to have properly acheived this. Look forward to meeting you all Mrs Scarecrow |

22 Oct 06 - 04:43 AM (#1865487) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: My guru always said Geordie-Peorgie & Mrs P: So glad you came along & joined us, it WAS a brill Gather wasn't it? And yes, it takes a fair few meetings to start collecting faces (there are still names on the register I hav't sussed)! Hadn't realised that Mrs P sings, but passing the MadCat gives everyone their own choice as to whether to sing I reckon. On the other hand, sometimes a little encouragement is needed, so I'll try to remember that in future. Hope Gosport stops booking you (not really) so you can join us at Miskin, you will love it! Anything is good for a MudRaffle prize, but obviously if there are youngsters involved we have to be careful with boozy items. Mrs (& Mr) Scarecrow: Welcome to the Cat!!! A convoluted entry to this wonderful world, but now you're here I hope you'll call in oftem :-) So, lets nip over to the Bedworth thread & see who'll be at the next Gather! BTW, hope they all have a Fab time in the Gainsborough MudCatter Day today - they're just starting to learn about the benefits of Chocolate over that side of the UK. As a matter of interest, the USA Catters have come up with the idea of Chocolate coated Salmon - there's a thought..... |

24 Oct 06 - 03:12 PM (#1867475) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: My guru always said I've just PM'd all the Catters on the Gather Register with the following: We are hoping that an idea could come to fruition, with your help, to help raise some funds to send to Pene Azul. You may have read the thread explaining the fund-raiser started up by catspaw in the USA, but if you haven't, here's the addy: This thread! Micca actually recorded the whole of the Banbury MudGather as a souvenir for himself, and now feels certain that a souvenir CD could be made from it. He's going through the material over the next week or so to select items with good resolution, which could be included in it, but we do need to (a) hopefully get permissions from the singers and (b) identify the singers and the songs correctly. So firstly, if you sang, would you feel OK about your singing being included in the CD? If so, please let me know which songs you sang so that we can try to identify them against the recording. If you aren't happy about being included on the CD, please just let me know, and tell me what you sang, so that we can ensure that your wishes are respected. Whether you wish to be included, or not, or didn't sing at the Gather, maybe you would be interested in purchasing a copy as a souvenir? They will be home-produced at a reasonable price, but it will be the content that counts!! Production costs and postage etc will need to be covered, but the balance received from the purchases will be sent to help Pene. Perhaps you could let me know your thoughts, or perhaps post them (as a Guest if you wish) on the Banbury thread where I will be posting a version of this idea as soon as I've finished sending this mass-mailing of PM's. We will need to set a pre-production time-limit for replies if this CD is to be a viable proposition, so keep an eye on the thread & reply to me asap. Hil |

24 Oct 06 - 04:35 PM (#1867566) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Mrs Scarecrow Seems a good idea , not sure what time Mica started recording If we are on it Mr Scarecrow & I sang Oak and ash and thorn, words Kipling, tune Bellamy . I would certainly like a copy of the CD if it is made. Mrs Scarecrow |

24 Oct 06 - 09:16 PM (#1867786) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: Selchie - (RH) An inspired idea Hils. I would certainly like a copy of the CD, despite not actually singing myself at Banbury. Hope everyone who was involved agrees. A good way for us all to help. Rosie S |

25 Oct 06 - 07:03 AM (#1868021) Subject: RE: MudGather Banbury UK Oct 06 From: My guru always said Many thanks to all who have already replied to this idea! I'll be gathering up replies to help Micca work out what can be done. By the way, I'd just like to mention that the idea for this is all Micca's, and he'll have all the hard work to do too, so send him your positive thoughts over the next month or so please to keep him going! I'm just the Messenger, Go-fer and organiser of extraordinary lists :-) Would be fantastic to be able to use these for our Secret Santa parcels, but I honestly don't think there's enough time to figure it all out, produce and post them out before you pack your parcels. I'll be away from tomorrow for a long weekend in Devon - singing at the After the Fair Festival in Bampton so don't worry if I'm not online for a few days, I'll continue information gathering on my return. Have a good weekend! |

I went on Broadband on Thursday and joined Mudcat on Friday! I`ve just clicked on the Banbury thread and found all these photos of myself and Ned at the Mudgather. I`ve just been a guest up till now and it was wonderful to click through the photos and find out who is who. It all becomes clear now. I`ll see you all at Bedworth. |
