23 Jan 18 - 07:02 AM (#3901221) Subject: RE: Bristol folk clubs? From: Nigel Parsons Yes, Nick. I've found them very welcoming as well, but petrol cost from Cardiff, plus the Bridge toll on the way home . . . Maybe I'll pop over again soon. The Severn Bridge tolls are due to be removed this year. |
