Right...we had been thinking of stopping the sessions in view of the miserable, surly landlord (and the lack of cider). We now have the possibility of a change of venue so I'd like to know what everyone thinks. We can, if we like, use the Moira Furnace for the sessions. The accoustics are wonderful...Dave Barnes and I both had an experimental sing last weekend. It's a museum so likely to be no smoking (sorry, forgot to check) but going outside and standing by the canal for a smoke could probably be quite pleasant. It isn't a pub but we can probably get a local pub to put on a barrel of beer and one of Old Rosie (Hooray!!!). This brings me to the second question...what kind of beer? It's Burton Bridge they have and Ted assures me they are all pretty drinkable.

The third question: One of the reasons we were doing them on the Thursday evening was because the pub was too busy on Fridays and Saturdays. Several people have said it would be better to change the night, especially since we have a number of people who come from quite a distance. At the furnace there is no problem so do you think we should go for the Friday evening or the Saturday?

There is camping available including camper vans. They charge but it's only £4 a night.

So...what do you think?

Love Lynne
ps. We are also starting planning for a folk weekend as part of the Moira Furnace Festival next May. I'll keep you informed!
