That is a shame - I've got Friday and Monday booked as holiday so we'll have to find something else to do. I must admit, I was a little unsure about the New Inn as a venue because, when we stopped off there for lunch earlier this year, we were told that, as we had our 9-year old daughter with us, we could only eat in the conservatory, which had absolutely no atmosphere at all. Children are not allowed in the main part of the pub. Needless to say, we went elsewhere.

Ah well, roll on Osmotherley - great pubs, fantastic village hall venue and, if it's like last year, brilliant fun. See you there?
