No one in Hertfordshire has to unknowingly put up with a folk club next door to a bell ringing practice. All you need to do is a cross check between the listings in the Unicorn Folk Magazine and the table of practice nights on the web site of the Hertford County Association of Change Ringers www.hcacr.org.uk This shows immediately that if you want to visit a Friday pub, the practice night at St Stephen's St Albans is across the road from the King Harry pub, but the Baldock and Letchworth Folk club is either in Baldock where bell ringing practice is on a Wednesday or in Letchworth which is deprived of the noble art and science of bell ringing ... as well as pubs, it seems.

So the informed choice is yours.
