I have just booked my room at the Buck Inn, looking forward to a good weekend.
Dave where are you playing in Aberdeen? Do you need somewhere to stay to break your journey? I am 30min from junction 8 on the M74, Donny

[Tony Russell Davis]

Hi Dave and Donny - really good to make contact I'm greatly looking forward to meeting you. All best, Tony.

I am flying in, apparently, the hotel is near the airport and accommodation is sorted, but thank you for the offer...
I am playing with Bill Conlon. John Stannards move to the USA has given me a few gigs with Bill.
This is why Dallas is off for me this year as well....

Well Digby, for once the dairy is favourable, it looks like Pat and myself will make it. Play a little, and study those from the other side of Hadrain's Wall.

for once the dairy is favourable,

It'll be great to see you here Basil and can I have two pints of gold-top please? Tony

I plan to have the NESGF website up by the end of next week so folks can start buying their tickets. With Basil threatening to come, I'm beginning to feel the pressure.

I plan to be in Leeds the first weekend in June - hope we can meet up. I'll call you; have you got Skype yet? some say it hasn't reached North Yorkshire.

This Monday I visit Long Ashton, Bristol to complete the plans for SESGF 2012 - only a couple of weeks to go.

[Tony Russell Davis]

I'll give Skype another go, when I last tried to instal it I got an error message and just baled out - you're the only one I would have in my "phonebook", Digby!
Later - got it! Have added you and Basil - the only Skype people I know so far - and am searching for more.

[Digby Hardy]

The NESGF web site is launched. No photos of the Buck Inn but Tony is getting some to me shortly.

If you are planning to come please let me have a recent photo/mugshot for the web site gallery.

Hi Digby, I clicked the "X" for the NESGF, and the info comes up with Long Ashton directions probably an oversite, or the little grey cell is working overtime
