Hi All,
Alan from Dublin here.
I'm only beginning frailing banjo but am encouraged by everyone else that I've seen and read on the web. I'm another big Pat/Patrick Costello fan.
I head about UK Folkies when Patrick mentioned your existence.
I thought of going to Crisfield but it was working out far too expensive.
So I'm delighted to hear that UK Folkies are planning a similar event. (i.e. all levels welcome)
I'm definitely interested in attending the retreat in December and meeting you guys.
Regards
Alan.

Hi Andrew,
I am a member but I mustn't have been logged in when I posted.
In fact I'm the NEWEST member. I'm so proud.
So where's the nearest airport to the retreat?
Who in UK Folkies do I book with?
Cheers
Alan.

Cheers Alan. Hi Alan, Unless I'm mistaken, the best person to contact is FrKeith. Look on the members list and send him an email. Andrew |

Is this still going ahead? I can't make it I don't think, becoming a dad mid October and get the feeling I'll be kind of busy!

The UK retreat is definitely still on folks. I'm sorry I haven't logged in here much recently but things have been a bit rough at home - my mum died recently and I've spent a lot of time supporting my Dad so haven't had as much time as I'd like to spend on promoting the retreat. If nobody drops out there could be 17 of us at Whirlow Grange for the December weekend and there's still plenty of time and space for others to sign up.

Well I don't have a camera, and my Mic sucks (see the thread / rant in the general section) but I'll do my best.
Gosh, I feel like i'm on Newsround

Dick, don't worry too much about the deposit I know you'll be there. At the moment I'm confident that there will be at least 10 of us out of the 16 who registered interest. By the way - can you suggest any tunes from your part of the world that we could have a go at?
