Of course, as we usually sing in pubs we pay TAX on booze, but smokers also contribute TAXES in abudance (for my pension), but it is rightly pointed out that there are plenty of places in pubs to smoke other than the club room and most people do not begrudge smokers their vice; it is just when it affects others. Rosie Hardman had to give up performing in folk clubs due to the effect of smoke. The ROBIN HOOD Folk Club, now at the NAGS INN AND PLOUGH, Nottingham Road, Stapleford, is a non-smoking venue and it works well. BTW Tim Garland (of Fieldwork) is performing on Sat 27th Oct for anyone who might be down Stapleford, Notts way.
