One of the things that we hoped that this announcement might produce was that it just might produce a person or persons to take over form us.
After a meeting earlier this morning, it seems that there is the possibility that a person or a group of people may take over from us in January. If it does happen, it would take things at the Royal Oak in a very different direction, but at least it could, perhaps, be continuing.

All we can say at the moment is watch this space


And could we thank well over 100 people from 4 continents who have thanked us for our efforts and achievements in the years we have been running folk clubs including some messages from top performers that we really admire.

Oh! and those who have talked about our "retirement" are a bit premature. We will be keeping a close involvement in folk and traditional music - not organising a weekly club after 47 years of doing so will give us time to develop some ideas/schemes that we have up our sleeves.
