Hi Folks,

 

I have done the recce and we shall be meeting at The Black Horse, Monks Horton ( www.thebestpubintheparish.com ).  Performance will start at 2030 as usual but don't worry if you are running late.  A word of warning the pub only serves food in the evening at weekends so Roger, don't expect to get any chips!  There is very useful info on the website including an extract from the Ordnance Survey map which you can print out, also, as promised, Dave Jones will be at The Drum from 1930 with diagrams for those who are not sure of the way and to pick up anyone who has not heard the bad news about The Drum closing.

 

All being well, we shall be there for the foreseeable future.  The room we shall be using is much larger than either The Drum or The White Hart and the acoustics are good!

 

I will not do a route card now to save time but if you wish I will happily give directions over the phone or by e-mail if requested.  My numbers for anyone who doesn't have them are: 01797-320518 or Mobile 07890-292467.  I will break my usual rule and leave my mobile on until about 2100 tomorrow.

 

I can't think of anything else to add at present but if there is additional info which you would like please don't hesitate to contact me.  See you there!

 

Regards

Subject: NEWSFLASH - DRUM CLOSURE - FOLK CLUB ON TOMORROW NIGHT 7 JAN 09

Hi Folks,

 

Sad news, The Drum has had to cease trading!

 

We have had an offer from The Black Horse at Monks Horton to host us and I shall be going there in about an hour with Maureen and Dave to have a look at the facilities which sound as if they will suit us.

 

It is therefore most likely that we shall meet there tomorrow night.  I will send more details later but either way Dave Jones will be at The Drum tomorrow to redirect people.

 

What I would request is the maximum possible turnout tomorrow night to support our club wherever we may meet.

 

Please pass the word as not everyone reads their e-mails that quickly.

 

I only heard of the pub closure when I read my e-mail at about 1600 when Beau Webber (www.kentfolk.com) forwarded an e-mail from the landlord of the Black Horse.

 

More later

 

Regards
