I don't go to Broadstairs much any more as I like singarounds and sessions but my experience of the past is that Flora's accusation is baseless. Tom and Barbara's singarounds in the sailing club are run on a strict rotation of the room (on polar co-ordinates) without any preferences. My only gripe with them is that they are too full and joining in is frowned on (and once someone turned up with recorded backing tracks).

The other pub (the Wrotham Arms)has Kenwood mixer sessions and my experience is that the organisation is scrupulous to give all a fair crack of the whip without even a hint of exclusion of those whom the organisers might not wish to hear - although it seemed to be on a sort of "Lazy-Z" sweep. My only moan there is that they are also rammed and I find it inconvenient to stick to the "easy key, easy rhythm" requirement.   

I infer that Flora did not intend to refer to Neptune's Hall - not a "pub" as such).   If she wants to have a pop at Bob and Kath perhaps she should openly stick her head above the parapet.
