Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005
How can I put this??
When the Miskin Arms changed hands some while ago it changed into a restaurant - with, effectively, a side bar. It was felt by the new management that folk music and the festival weekend itself were not appropriate to the new image. Because of this we have over the years honed our bar management skills to provide what we are now proud to think of as Real pub" within the Mill and left the Miskin Arms to the locals with whom we have established mutual respect.

In the past we have finished work at a reasonable time Thursday evening and then travelled down to the Newport Folk Club some 15 miles away. This year we have the use of the Mill from Thursday afternoon with the idea of being a bit more ready and less tired out come the start on Friday. Volunters are welcome by prior arrangement but we will not be ready to start the festival proper until midday Friday (when the licences come into force) I hate to see a thirsty man so bring a few cans or something suitable for thursday evening, if you are not popping over to Newport.
If you can't read between the lines please email or phone me for detailed arrangements.
