So after weeks, if not months of development, and whilst still not complete, we aim to be fully open this weekend. Of course our downstairs bar is now fully stocked, and subject to a few finishing touches on Thursday including a full clean (volunteers welcome) on Thursday pm and evening we should be good to go. No new balcony but the old one remains. The main room will be open and so will the new snug for a soft launch.

We will be hosting our visitors committee from Tynedale for lunch as usual and at 13:15 one hour before we kick off we will have welcome speeches followed by lunch. Anyone wishing to reserve a table for £250 for 10 people can do by contacting Matt before Thursday 7pm. These tables will be reserved for you from 13:00 until 17:30. We even have a season craft beer on sale for this weekend only. We only have a very small number of tables as part of this weekends soft launch so when they are gone they are gone.

All volunteers with vacuum cleaners, cloths, buckets and willing to scrub tables, chairs and shelves are welcome Thursday evening please. Mark
