"Find another pub - sad as it may be as it is a nice venue and the room is nice - but probably a little out of the way."

Nick, it depends where you are coming from....... it's not out of the way for me (staggering distance!) or more importantly for anyone coming up or down the A1, which is only 1.5 miles away.

There is no doubt that the smoking ban has had an impact on the viability of traditional pubs.....there is no doubt that smoking has no place in a folk club/ concert "space".

Anyone else able to make the "farewell" party on June 21st? It is likely that we will have a singaround/ additional acts, hopefully in the garden on Saturday afternoon and I'm working on a barbecue early evening followed by the planned concert.
