Blog Break and more things to do in Leeds and New York

I will be taking a blog break for a week from today until Sunday and as the place I am going to has no reliable broadband, I won't be posting until my return. To be going on with until then, here are a few more things to do: YOU CAN BET ...we're socially distanced Saturday 5th September at 7.30pm Due to popular demand...go with us...we're bringing back our Lockdown gameshow for one last 2020 outing. Oh, and this time it’s with a 7-piece band! Come on down and enjoy the derring-do and clumsy buffoonery of 3 physical challenges; musical performances from the extraordinary Slung Low House Band; and a special guest appearance from Gina O’Tonic. May or may not include Safety Supervisor David Anthony Bevan Lane depending on whether there are any explosives*. We’ll be serving some food, the bar will be open and you’ll be using the Slung Low headphone system so the sound will be tip-top! Please dress for the weather. Tickets must be booked in advance. *There are. Get Your Tickets SEE YOU THERE! Some very generous people donated a sizeable chunk to our funds, with the explicit instruction it was for a lift for The Club. So we've agreed to forge ahead with a campaign to try make the club accessible for everyone, starting with said lift. Please help us spread the word.
