That is very shortsighted of the management at the Hop Pole - they ought to know that word will get around. All of a sudden they will wonder why the crowds are walking right past on their way to somewhere else, and all they will get is the usual locals. I'm very glad we ran into you, Mrs Scarecrow, and found out about the Bay Horse. Glad to hear that Friday night was not the only session in there. Looks like that will be the first place we look next year, or the Queens.
