Hello Lawrie,
I went up to Whitby yesterday for the session in the Conservative Club run by Tom McConville and Tom Napper. I enjoyed it even though it got far to busy with somewhere between 30 and 40 players turning up which was much more than the room could comfortably handle. Lots of familiar faces from various sessions in attendance as well as some new ones.
Sadly I can't make it tomorrow or Tuesday but if I could I would definitely go to the session on Tuesday at 1700 in the Fishermans Rowing Club run by Dave Mallinson which I would expect to have a lot of Irish. I've been at a few sessions with Mally and they are always good. He was at the Lamb a couple of weeks ago. Apart from that there's not much in the way of organised sessions in the programme that I fancy but I'm sure there will be some impromptu ones in various locations.

Incidentaly, the agent has confirmed that our job on the 3rd of next month is confirmed so hopefully we can arrange a bit of a practice.
I'm sure you will have a super time in Whitby.
