Hi.

There will be a change of tenants at the Royal Oak, Whatlington on the 18th April. Rather than leave arrangements open, we have thought it better to cancel the Royal Oak Irish session due on the 30th April. The date of the change of tenants at the Royal Oak does not give us much time to make arrangements with them, or find an alternative location. The 30th April is also the first day of the annual Jack In The Green Festival (http://www.hastingsjack.co.uk) in Hastings and some of us are heavily involved with that event and its associated sessions.

We would like to emphasise that it is our intention to continue with this monthly Irish session in the Hastings area as soon as possible, wherever that may be. As soon as possible, I will announce the arrangements that we make. For more information about the session, please email me at paul_at_dengates_dot_co_dot_uk.

All the best.

        Paul
