Yes, everyone turned up except for the butties. No room at the inn, but we could have housed a couple in the stable in the outside.
I kept hoping for wise men to turn up, but had to make do with Bernard.

Our next do is on the 27th December when those who have survived Christmas will all be there fully refershed.

A number of us gather together weekly or is it weakly? We play tunes and sing a bit. Some of us have been to the Snug and had a really good time. The problem is when we drink and drive we get beer all over the steering wheel and are then banned from using the car.

We will sing an old song tonight, which wont be "The White Hare" and think we are drinking Taylor's Landlord.

Wassail!
As somebody often says

Sea dogs young and old are all welcome aboard this Wednesday (22 Nov) at the Snug. I'm really sorry that I missed last time due to work as it was a wonderful session by all accounts. Looking forward to this week, and to hearing some of your sea songs, Mister Mate.

It's this Wednesday (25 October)and if we get as many there as have said they are comming 'appen we'll have to get a bigger room.

I'm looking forward to the Souling Songs and any songs of the supernatural (as we are close to the eve of All Hallows - can't bring myself to call it Halloween because of the links with trick or treat).
Hope to see you all there

Good to hear from you Malc, and looking forward to meeting again when you come over. Have you been recording any more with Waterbound since your 'High and Dry' CD?

All Soul's Night [Halloween] is nearly upon us so perhaps some local Souling Songs would be welcome on Wednesday night - there are several examples given in Roy Clinging's book of Cheshire Folk Songs which I've been reading again recently. Its a good book, but sadly he omits that old favourite "Chester Song at Twilight".

Hi Yvonne,Mathew, Bernie,Ted and all at the snug. Tom and Ann too. Haven't seen you all in ages mainly because we've taken a second home in San Francisco and the expense (ow!) has put a bit of a crimp in our overseas travel. Our house in the Santa Cruz mountains is only about 50 miles from SF but I was doing so much stuff up there that the drive back at midnight over those mountain roads after a couple of jars was getting a bit dicey and hotels are outasight! So we got a place in SF as well and now we only have to stay in it a hundred nights a year for the next twenty years for it to pay off!
Sure do miss you folks though and the good booze, songs and company at the Railway,and the Snug.
Tarrah fer now, see thi in September ah 'ope
Malcolm

As the slug said to the snail... 'Big Issue?!'

Guest... it's a pub! The place seems popular enough, albeit in need of some redecoration (which the new tenants are working on), so draw your own conclusions... we do have a 'no smoking' policy these days.

If your preference is for the plastic antiseptic pub with no character, then the Railway is not for you - but it regularly wins CAMRA awards.

Did we mention the beer?

Tom and Anne

So lovely to hear from you both. I lost your email address.
Enjoy the Lakes and come see us in The Snug soon.

Would be so good if you could join us in The Snug one night too, Ken.

The Railway is one of the few pubs left around Lymm that the developers' have not transformed into a 'Tapas Bar'. So come and sample it whilst it lasts! Good beer, good company and excellent music in a decent pub--bliss.
