3rd Weekend Gathering
13th - 15th October 2006
Wiston Lodge, Biggar, South Lanarkshire
The previous Common Ground Gatherings at Wiston Lodge were marked by their attraction to many people who would never dream of playing music in public but felt comfortable in the company of those of broadly similar ability. An early description of 'paddling in the shallow end of Traditional music' emerged as a particularly apt slogan. We can however happily promise to offer something for anyone who has the Common Ground "X" Factor, loosely translated as an understanding that what we give is returned in abundance. We do attract remarkable people.
Our costings are such that we have very little leaway in offering concessions with the exception of accompanied children. The more people we attract the more breakout rooms we have to hire.
There are a maximum of 30 places available and October is not the most attractive of camping months so we do recommend early booking.
The programme will start with dinner on Friday evening and conclude with lunch on Sunday and allow ample time for a self-selecting, self-help, variety of activities, with the emphasis on preparing a musical 'party-piece' for performing on the Saturday night. The timetable will be as loose as necessary or as structured as required. There will be time for instrumental or singing sessions, slow jams, and discussion and debate about what makes Common Ground distinctive.
Absolute guarantees:
You will meet great people
You will have fun
You will learn something
You will be warm and comfortable
You will eat well
You will probably:
Want more
Wish you could stay longer
Wish you had gone to bed earlier
Wonder why you hadn't done this before
