Brilliant session at the Royal, Dungworth, and being the first one of 2012 at the pub, not too crushed. Talking of which, with regard to the "shopping" of the pub to the H&S police last year, a new fire-door has now been installed by the landlord (being a former builder) and his son and the pub now has the appropriate approvals/certificates. I think most people would appreciate this move.This was achieved thanks to the generosity of customers and supporters who raised £2,100 which almost covered the cost of materials & admin.

I decided to go to the Royal early his year, because in the past couple of years, bad weather and christmassy things got the way of a visit. Lovely to bump into Jim (MC fat) again, and Will Noble in fine form with the sad "Mistletoe Bough"

Of course, a fantastic atmosphere of communal singing from the seasoned singers (with organ accompaniment) and now I am starting to pick up some of the other parts.

The landlord has agreed that the pub can host additional sessions each Wednesday night (8-10) from now until Christmas.

Oh, and the real ale was good too!

Twas indeed a splendid sing. Nice to bump into the assembeld throng. Bradfordian ta for lift back Neil was again in good voice and seems to get stronger every year. My only bugbear was the changing of the bus times (yet agin) which mwant I didn't get there till 12.30. Bah humbug
