Saturday, 9 August is the date for the next monthly shanty/forebitter session at the Press Room, 77 Daniel St., Portsmouth NH, from 3:30 to 7:30 PM. We had a good turnout for the July gathering, despite Brett's absence, and hope for an even better time this month.

Also, for those who can get to Portsmouth earlier, the "Jeanie Johnston," a replica of the 19th c. Irish famine ship will be in town and open to visitors. You can get more information here.
I will also try to extend an invitation to the crew to come join us. Meanwhile, watch this thread for further details. Looking forward to seing you -- Tom
