"must really help the cause of getting people to turn up..."

Or people get put off once they turn up and never return again.. There's one sesh worth attending round my way, but it's too far for me to get to. The nearest one is so pants that even though I could easily get there and back, I just can't be arsed - I'd rather go do some Choral singing instead or maybe stick pins in my eyes. In fact, bar my initial strong enthusiasm for folk, my interest in taking part on anything but an extremely intermittent level, has all but died a death.
