As well as our regular club nights on a Thursday, we are now holding Sunday afternoon sessions on the last Sunday afternoon of each month from 3.30 - 5.30 pm. These try to give an equal mixture to songs and tunes.
....And the pub does an cheap but excellent Sunday roast dinner if you want to turn up a bit earlier.
The next ones will be on March 28th, April 25th and May 30th.
