mike byrne Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) As opposed to Polo, Llantrisant is known as the Hole with the Mint. Edited March 16, 2019 by mike byrne add word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Kruskal Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi Mike, so sorry as to being clueless... but what does the Hole with the Mint refer to? Your post eludes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike byrne Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) LIantrisant Is where the Royal Mint (that mints coins for the U.K.) is based. Edited March 17, 2019 by mike byrne Might not have Polo mints in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich C R Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Does anyone know why the SWALEDALE SQUEEZE Yorkshire link above is not working? I have an interest because I haven't received a reply or acknowledgement from the organiser Steven Bradley after making an initial £25 deposit for the event. I hope all is well???

John Wild Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I just looked at their website and copied this link. It worked for me. I have copied and pasted a link below. http://swaledalesqueeze.org.uk/index.php.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Coles Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I went last year, and sending a deposit in sterling from the US was problematic for me. Once I got ahold of Steven he told me just bring the money to Yorkshire. He put down my reservation (I stayed in one of the camping huts - nice enough). I paid up as we were standing right next to the tapped keg, how fitting. It (Swaledale) is a bit informal, but I expect they'll sort it out for you. I got to know Harry Scurfield while there and enjoying talking with him. My wife and I loved the countryside - lovely area. Very different atmosphere from a US gathering like the Squeeze-In. In the US most players are isolated all year and starved for fellow concertinists, hence the uncontrolled playing about 22 hours/day at NESI. At Swaledale everyone told me about the lessons and groups they were in at home (you are lucky over there) and quietly, calmly waited for each class to begin. But I bet Jody will stir up all those reserved concertinists! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
