Just to bring you up to date - the new Landlord of the Tiger is planning to introduce meals in the evening to the front room and that includes Friday nights. This should finish at around 8.30 so the Session could be ok at 9pm.   However it is thought that the best way forward would be to approach mine host with a view to a good full session in 2 weeks time when all are back from hols/festivals etc - if we have to go into the back room so be it - could start there and if it works gravitate to front room after meals. So likely start date is 2 weeks this coming Friday.
