Ooh, if it's TORM weekend, it might be the perfect way to round off your weekend, or to break your trip back to whereever you may be tripping from.
Although you don't have far to trip from TORM, Ms Needle!

Having done a recce on the venue to see those Arrow chaps last month, there is a very nice curry restaurant close by that is well worth a visit to prior to the musical evening.

We are hoping to have on-site food for those who don't want to invest time in a sit down meal. Details to follow.

Which means, conversely, that barges on the canal are VERY easily accessible from the venue should you feel like a little piracy.  |

We look forward to seeing you, madame! People will most likely dress quite steamily, but don't worry! It doesn't matter what you wear. (You may also be able to adapt some charity shop purchases with a minimum of effort or expense, if you feel like it...) |
