Sorry if you found it patronising Jim - maybe at my age it is inevitable. I started this thread "I really enjoyed that Folk Club because ...." In an attempt to collect good practice and also to escape the negative arguing that goes on in the folky world. It's amazing how many bitter disputes can break out in such a small aspect of life.

Maybe I should be more interested inwhat annoys other people about the clubs they have been to but if I did I would start a thread called "I really didn't enjoy that Folk Club because....... "

Now how much fun would that be?

Best wishes
