Dear all

Have just had the unfortunate news last Tuesday that Paul and Ann (The Landlord and Landlady) are shortly to be leaving the pub and that it looks likely that the pub will close it's doors.

They are not sure of the exact date they are leaving but estimate mid March.

Until the pub closes we still intend to run the Tuesday night and First Saturday of the month singaround so all are still welcome.

It has been eight years since the session was started up by Stuart supported by myself and the wife and it has gone through it's up and downs. That said, it has been well supported by many visitors despite being a hidden treasure. Especially during the last three folk weeks which had well supported evenings all week and have been a blast. (albeit very tiring)

Can I take this opportunity to thank all the many visitors and regular away supporters who have helped to make the sessions what they are. Big thanks also to the local regulars who helped to keep it going during the dark winter nights.

Finally thanks must go to Paul and Ann for allowing us to invade their hostelry every Tuesday (and the occasional Saturday). And also for the half time sandwiches provided.

See you all around the bazaars.

Chris
