I've looked at the rail timetable and you can get a train to Crayford from Lewisham!

If there are no line engineering works that weekend, I'll be there!

doubt it very much as you would have to share with their rather large dog, who can be rather anti social. hope you still able to come, its only a few minutes walk from crayford railway station, or by car 5 mins from black prince turn off buses are frequent from dartford bexleyheath and all points n.s.e.w it going to be an open house, no schedules, no timetables, just a good old folk day where musicians dancers singers can all do thier thing as and when, still short on morris dancers,

ok if a side can make it all the better there will not be a programme as such, just a day of merriment and music and of course drink, sides are more than welcome as the pub love it, by the pub i mean the landlady and landlord, staff and the regulars, the gongs use the pub as our drinking hole after practice and it has now become many of our s local, if the side cant make just come and have fun, jam a bit, drink a bit, that goes for all, however the car park will be set aside for dancers.

Oops - Maybe I should clarify....
I didn't say we'll have a side, just that I'd ask them and Rob & I would probably be there.
sorry to over-excite !

Sorry forgot to say thanks motley, your the first to say you will come, hopefully the gongscourers and maybe bishops gundulf will be able to make it, i have not got a list of beers yet but when i do i will post it, shep neame seem to be behind the day all the way, the staff are preparing posters, the regulars cant wait, so seems it will be a good day, if we support ourselves and turn up and play dance sing and of course drink.

ok now we are cooking, the day will be what we make it, its the first of many that they want to put on, its the most folk friendly pub i have been to ever, and they are so into doing anything for anybody,so i feel that we could really create somthing here as its a blank canvas so to speak,

A local one in North Kent (Crayford) would be nice, I am sure it would be well attended, if the right day is chosen. It should encourage the London folkies to venture. especially as the old bus pass can get you there free. The FolkMob and Orpington Folk clubs are quite local.
Possibilities of camping may be difficult though, however if it develops there are a few fields not too far away that may be approached.

Hi Romany man
This sounds like fun, Crayford and the surrounding area is where many of my ancestors lived and Lesley and I now live just down the lane from Demelza house and so we always try to support any events aimed at raising money for them ~ I'll watch this thread for a date and hopefully we'll be able to get along there.

That sounds interesting. The train connections to Sittingbourne are quite good. Depending on when it is and what gigs I've got on, I might well be there.

Romany Man, it would be useful to pop a Postcode of the pub on the thread for folks who aren't local. Good luck with this, it's nice to see friendly new venues starting up!

Our local pub is a very folk friendly pub and supports demelza house charity, as well as letting the gongscourers drink there after practise, they want to have a folk day, its a smallish pub but the welcome is huge, we danced there in the summer and the place was packed, they are offering a barrel of beer from shepard neame, loads a grub usually, they will be shutting the car park for dancers should you be of that way inclined, musicians can play to thier hearts content, be sure of a great welcome, this could be the start of a new folk venue in north kent, they are thinking of end of octoberish but need to know if anyone is interested, can folks post to thread and i will pass on info, then update,
