LATEST BREAKING NEWS! PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL AT THE SLOOP TONIGHT! DON'T BE AFRAID TO COME, THE PUB IS ALL OURS!The madness goes on, but it might all be for the good. The licensing person said the frosted glass door was OK, BUT then the building department (wonder who told them??) came this afternoon and said the glass in the door had to be clear 'as otherwise the people inside would not be able to see a fire developing' (sic) Whoops, that's it then - but NO IT ISN'T! In a stroke of genius, courage and support for us folkies, Gill is CLOSING the pub to the public and for tonight making it a private folk club. Members may sign in guests, of course, so there is no problem with numbers as we have the whole pub to ourselves. Let's make sure that, whatever happens afterwards, we al show Gill and Tony how much we appreciate their support. P.S. There is a rumour of Look North being interested in coming.....bring an instrument and make thsi a night to remember.
