View Full Version : Canuck in Wick
Canuck will be in the Back Bridge Street club lounge on Saturday night. She is coming to hear the music(Terry Clark and myself) but would really like to see some Orgers there. It would be nice if a few were to make it along. She has expressed a wish to meet as many Orgers as possible but has not much time. Please come!!!! The music should be good. Terry is an excellent singer.

Rules for the Backer,
If you are a male resident of Wick, then you must be a member of the club for admission, you cannot be signed in . If you are male from outwith Wick you can be signed into the club by a member but if you misbehave, then that member is held responsible for you.
Females in Wick
women can only be associate members & cannot get into the stag bar, but are advised to have membership to the club as a refusal on a Saturday night often offends!!
Outwith Wick, 3 mile area I think? Females can be signed in as guests for the night.
Hope this clears up the question, This were the rules last time I asked
Don't think they do much refusing on a Saturday night, anybody can just walk in.
I never have any bother getting in when i go out .

I don't know quite how to define a Leith pub (yet!) but Robbies and the Tam O' Shanter spring to mind. The Tam is the only pub in the world, I've seen, where outside they had a note stuck to the door that simply read: "Regulars Only". I do, however, frequent the Leith Dockers Club for a pint of ale at 1984 prices.
Hope Canuck enjoys the Caithness air.

Hope this clears up the question, This were the rules last time I askedWillowbankbear i think they will let anyone in just to get the custom i have been going to the backer for a number of years now and have only once been asked if. I'm a member and i said no and still got in. Have you been there yourself lately? It's like a morgue some saturday nights

Nah, I havnt been since I paid my fees, I didnt have my card(it was inside the bar)& the doormen would not let me through to begin with. Once I got in to retrieve my membership card, I produced it for the chaps then proceeded straight back out the front door & went to the Yard. The backer was empty! & they are a lot of money down as a few hadnt paid their fees, As most folk say they are glad of your custom, well not that night.
I havnt bothered to go back yet either:cool:

Due to demands from yourself and others, I have come out of retirement and will be playing with the J.Fats Band in the Backer on the 21st of Oct. and the Orange Room, Park Hotel Thurso on the 22sec. Hope to see you.

Thank you Gleber2.:D
Hopefully we'll get a chance to hear you play.:D
Hopefully MrBurd and I may be able to put in an appearance, as we'll be in Wick that night at another "do". Well, that's if I can get a babysitter for the WeeBurdies (of my babysitter is reading this - :o )...
Just sent her off to bed. What a lovely lady. She is looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible tomorrow night in the Backer.
Unfortunatly, I cannot make it through to Wick tomorrow - Please can someone pass on my regards to Canuck

What a wonderful night it was. Thank you to all orgers who came to the gig and joined in the fun.
I have been having a fabulous time here in Caithness. The weather has been out of this world. And the food even better. I am going to hate to leave tomorrow.

Glad you had a good night. I had intended to pop in for a while but had to call off due to illness of a family member. Maybe next time. Have a safe journey home.

I'm sorry I never got the chance to see you all last night - I was in the Backer, but at a do, and didn't have a scoobie where to sneak off too <blush>. So close, yet so far...:(

I'm sorry I missed all the fun last night, but I enjoyed our coffee & blether today. The weather has certainly been very favourable for your visit. Safe journey & haste ye back ...
For those who couldn't make it you missed a really fun night and a lot of good company.
Never mind, better luck next time.

Crackin night.Was a pleasure to finally meet canuck face to face,instead of through a computer screen,hope yer Old Poultneys went down well :lol:
Gleber 2 yer music was brilliant yer an excellent guitarist.Maybe we'll be able to do a duo one day,ye on the guitar and me on the recorder.
Gleeber,as always yer company and blethers are the best ma freend.
Candyfloss and Zippy,another one o' ma other,"Ah wonder if we ken any orgers".....too right we do.
JAWS.....sorry if I appeared to be in shock....but to meet an orger of your standing is like meeting Royalty.Yer a true gent and it was good to finally meet ye.
Oor Bill thanks for the pint,my 11th of the night.Did say I was at a work night out too :lol:
Really good laugh,roll on the next one
Ced.
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_15_20.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZN) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo I'm so jealous of the orgers who were there. wish i could have been there, im dying to meet all of you who seem like friends on here and yet i probably walk past you as I dont know you!!!
Here's hoping for the next get together.

Cedric, I've been likened to some things in my time, most of them not repeatable here, or most other places for that matter, but Royalty. Wow, that comes as a shock, that really is a new one on me.
Don't be fooled, I kept my tail and my cloven hooves well hidden seeing I was in company but it could quite ruin my reputation as a fire breathing dragon.
Must admit, it was nice to put faces to names and especially nice to meet Canuck who had obviously made a special effort to come and see us.
The others you have already mentioned and I can only agree with you, they were all most pleasant company.
Still, until there is another Orgers "Do" and I have to put on my Humand Face again I'll go back to spreading Fire and Brimstone across the org. [evil] [lol]

I felt a bit like you Cedric meeting Jaws, it's like he's famous on here :cool:
Zippy and me went on to the Waterfront, but it was rubbish. We should have stayed in the backer, it was much more fun.
It was a smashing night. I'm not a regular Orger, but I think I'll make more of an effort to pop in now!
Great meeting you guys. I even knew one of you already! That was a bit of a surprise :Razz
Count me in for the next meet.
Zippy, you wouldn't recognise me but I suspect I recognised you. (That's got you guessing)
Next time I see you working I'll make sure I give you some pain instead of your other workmates. ;)
Just sent Canuck till her bed, she has been out dining with one man and drinking with two, I leave the rest of her night to the fertile imagination of the Org.
IMO she is one of MY personal friends and will be added till my Xmas card list.
Canuck....Haste ye back till Auld Reekie
Hello everyone,
I am about to be turfed from the Portobello library, but hopefully The Pepsi Challenge will have turned on his mobile and I can arrange to meet him for lunch.
You have all been so wonderful. My visit has been grand and I do indeed look forward to returning just as soon as I can.

Maybe we'll meet in the org pub again sometime [lol]
Canuck is no longer in Wick, although much of her heart has stayed there.
I am home now, finding a bit of food and soon will be off to my own bed!
I have just noticed that my PM box is full. Please give me a few hours to get settled then I shall clear it.
I'll write more once my head stops spinning from the long flight.
