Mo and I always collect a box from the office for our sessions at The Rifle Club

I hadn't thought of that, and it seems like a heck of a lot of other people at the sessions hadn't thought of it either. Maybe there could be a note in the programme or the Wailer saying that session anchors or regulars might do that? (Though the only session I was at for most of the time it ran was the Euro one, which didn't have much of a transient audience to tap into).

Yes, but if there were non-ticket holders playing then they could contribute.

Doesn't anyone think it would be more appropriate to ask for a contribution from the pub?

They contribute by allowing their premises to be used, surely!

Hiya John.

Yeah, it dawned on me after I posted the above that the Euro session was, I think, an official programmed session and that I don't know what time it took place; all off which led to a rather crappy attempt at making my point.

I was, obviously (though, sadly, only to myself!), referring more to the "fringe" sessions. Somebody mentioned, earlier, that there should be collections at these sessions and I was wondering if anyone thought it would more appropriate to ask for a donation from the pub than the participants at these.

Euro was semi-fringe. Not on the published programme, but advertised in the Wailer.

"who was the guy with the sax ?

... and how can we thank the nice men in white coats who let him out to play with us each afternoon?"

@ Jack Campin: Absolutely uncalled for. If anybody seriously wants to know who "the man with the sax" is, I'll be happy to let them know - I don't want to waste time talking to nasty, charmless characters like you.
