Please note that there will be no session at The Globe (Hanslope) this coming Sunday (July 5th).

Pete Tales sent the following message....

Hi folks. Because of so much going on around the first Sunday, and because so many regulars are either away or busy, we’ve decided to cancel the session for July. Queen’s Oak / Rose & Castle morris weekend is on, and the Queen’s Oak tour will be visiting the Globe on Saturday afternoon, from around 3 ish, and all teams will be dancing at the Boat, Stoke Bruerne, over lunchtime on Sunday. The Globe has a beer festival from Saturday 4^th (Will be very busy Sat & Sun) to Tuesday 7^th, when Queen’s Oak will be dancing there in the evening, and finishing the beer. If you are around, or simply can’t stay away, John will be more than happy to see you anytime at the Globe, or feel free to join us at the Globe on Saturday afternoon or Tuesday evening, or on Sunday at the Boat.

All the Best, Pete.
