There has recently been a change of landlord at the Bushel & Strike.

Went there today and met with the new landlord, Chris. He is in the middle of some renovations and restorations but the pub will reopen on 14th October in plenty of time for the Winter Sing in November.

The only effects of the change will be that the Saturday night session may well have to end sooner (what was it - 3am last year?) and there can't be any indoor camping at the Bushel itself. I'm PMing IanC to see if there is a Scout Hall or similar in Ashwell we could hire for this purpose for the Saturday night.

Motorhomes and even caravans would appear to be OK in the Car Park, though. These will have to be booked in advance, and any surplus will have to use the nearby caravan park.

As before - watch this space!
