Subject: RE: Goodby OHAM, Hello Notes & Letters
I am inclined to think there are seeds of some problems here.   I hope you overcome them, and i wish you the best of luck, but my concerns are as follows.

First and third Mondays will be a head-on clash with the Greyhound, about half a mile away, and it was the once-a-month clash between the Oast and Derek Moore's club (about the same distance apart in Rainham) that really started the decline of the Oast. |As a sidewind (without going to extremes), I never really liked Mondays anyway.

Second I think the name is poor, conjuring a much too smug "we are the literati" image that is far less inclusory than the names of at least two of the three precursor clubs that merged into OHAM.

However, I will come and check the beer on the opening night - which does not clash.
