Registration is at 10am and singing will start at 10:30. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
Food: There will be the traditional dinner on the grounds, please bring a dish to share if you can. There is a kitchen with some oven space but dishes ready to serve are preferred.
There will be a collection to cover costs.
Travel: The venue is a ten minute walk from Watford Junction railway station. Watford Junction is easily reachable either on national rail (on the mainline between London Euston and Birmingham) or London Overground. Watford is also on the London Underground (on the Metropolitan line) but the station is a 30 minute walk from the venue.
The closest airports to Watford are Luton, Heathrow and Stansted. For those arriving by car, Watford is just off both the M25 and M1. At the venue there are around 8 available parking spaces, plus two bays for any drivers with disabilities. Limited further street parking is available nearby on Church Road and Bellamy Close.
Do get in touch if you have any questions about travel or accommodation.
Please note that there will be a childrens group in another part of he venue during the morning, but I'm sure we will be louder than they are. The warden has said that any families bringing children are welcome to use toys/games. There is also a small garden and a quiet reading room we can use.
There will be a social afterwards at The Prince George pub, which is a 10 min walk from the venue and just round the corner from Watford Junction. If the weather is good, the venue is also a stones throw from Cassiobury Park, which makes for a good walk and has a surprisingly healthy section of urban chalk stream.
UPDATE
Diane Heywood has kindly offered to host a house sing on 11th January from the Cooper book. Singing will be from 12.30 - 17.30 with a break for tea. Diane has suggested having an early lunch. Max 25 people so please let Diane know in advance so she can arrange parts and seating. Ten loaner books are available, but please let Diane know if you need one, and DM her for the address.
