Oakers old chap, you'll want the Minerva (at the Pier). Lovely comestibles available (which got the Joe Offer/Bill Sables seal of approval yesterday) and a major venue for the afternoon's festivities. And there's a specially brewed ale available in case any of you can be forced into having sume bear. By the way, the Minerva is not in the Spanish Quarter, it's in what we call the Non-Spanish Three-Quarters.

Skipper Jack - there's two White Harts in the Old Town - The Olde White Harte on Silver Street and The White Hart on Alfred Gelder Street (near to Drypool Bridge which crosses the River Hull). Can you confirm which it is?

All the pubs mentioned for Friday night are only five minutes apart (ten seconds between Durty Nellies and the Black Boy). So that's it then Durty Nellies for thigh-worshippers, afficionados of the golden tonsils of Ossonflags and people who collect broken guitar strings; Black Boy for a general session including songs and tunes, and the White Hart for an informal shanty session.
