This thread makes very sad reading. Come on guys and galls don't let this misunderstanding destroy what seems to have been a great session, god knows they are hard enough to find, and nurture. Next Jug night buy each other a drink, and if you can stand it, give each other a hug.

On a practial note would it be possible, as is done at other sessions, on session night to have a table or three reserved for musicians from 8:30 onwards? That way the players are all grouped together, and can hear each other. In my experiance the landlord has no problem with this, some will even put reserved notices on the table so that visitors know the score, and the punters are happy to stand and let players join in the session.

love, john.
