AndrewCollins Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Just wondering if others here are going ? I went to last year and really enjoyed it. I did get a mail from their distribution list a few days ago - some spaces left apparently. Andrew
chas Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Jocelyn (my other half) and I are going. Never been before and really looking forward to it. Did I see that a certain Mr Algar is putting in an appearance? Note to self - don't take any money! What are you signed up for? Joc is down for concertina band. I've put down for duet and am just hoping my Crane will be up and running by then. Am toying with the idea of doing a band arrangement of a TOTM to see if we can't post a recording of a whole concertina band playing it. We'll see what March brings.
wayman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I've just written them to ask whether they'll hold me a spot while I send a registration in from America. If all goes well, I'll be there!
John Wild Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I should be there - or I will lose my deposit! A strong contingent from Kent should also be there. I expect to be in the band workshops mostly, but will stay flexible. the quality of the meals, and the evening sessions in the bar are worth the price of the weekend by themselves. though the WCCP event ends on Sunday afternoon, those who have farther to travel have been in the habit of staying over an extra night. We have an evening meal and more music to follow. I am not sure who is organising that this year, but I expect an announcement will be issued in advance of the weekend. Best wishes, John Wild PS - it seems this my 1000th post to these forums! - no chance of catching the top posters Edited January 24, 2015 by John Wild
Roger Hare Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I'd love to go, but don't have a car - getting to Kilve without transport seems difficult to put it mildly! If there is anyone in the Torbay area going to this bunfight, I would be more than happy to share petrol costs. Roger (In deepest, darkest Brixham).
AndrewCollins Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 I'm looking forward to it - I'm signed up for the Anglo workshops myself I'm also planning to stay over on the Sunday night John - it's a long way back to Norfolk, more enjoyable to have another night and take the Monday off work. Might be worth an email to the organisers Roger ( contact details here http://thewccp.org/images/BREAKING%20NEWS.pdf) - as they may have someone going from your area already. Andrew
maccannic Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 We'll both be there. I've gone most years since 1998, the Mrs. for about the last five years. Also a few October meets. Most enjoyable weekend.
Paul_Hardy Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I'll be going (from Cambridge). I'm in Paul Walker's strand on English.
doiheartwentyone Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (Long time lurker, first post ) I'm going, sounds like it will be a good weekend, it'll be good to meet everyone. Chris Algar already has all my money so I'm safe from him There are buses to Kilve---but not on Sundays, and it's a bit of a trek http://www.busesofsomerset.co.uk/pdfs/tt/14.pdf

Contact WCCp organisers to ask the question. I will be there, but am not sure of my travel arrangements yet. Regards, John
chas Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 It was a great weekend and good to meet and play with you all. Particular thanks to Andrew for his role in making the weekend run smoothly, as well as making us first time Kilvites welcome on Friday evening.
AndrewCollins Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Hello Chas Pleased to hear you enjoyed it. Nice to meet you both and put faces to forum usernames ! I think we have some event photos - I'll have to see if I can post one or two up here Andrew

I think we have some event photos - I'll have to see if I can post one or two up here Andrew That would be nice. I tried a couple of recordings (band and duets) but haven't listened to them yet. Might post a link if they're OK.
John Wild Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Good friends, good music. Another great weekend. It is a big social occasion as well as a music weekend. thanks to everyone. - John Wild
chas Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I have some decent recordings of the band and duets at the Sunday showcase. WCCP don't like unvetted recordings being made public (fair enough) so I won't post a link here but if anyone who was there would like a listen, PM me.
