Went to a session last night on the outskirts of Maidstone where ordinary stuff was interspersed with Xmas songs and carols - and very good it was too. Perhaps not quite rivalling the Sheffield lot - but a good tradition to establish.
The GI in Rochester has something similar this weekend.
The Three Ravens in Maidstone is run by and attended by people under 40 - a sign of things looking up!
