George and Helen Armstrong have now stepped down from the Folk Club Steering Group after many years of faithful service in chairing and functioning as the main coordinator of the group and the club with lots of support from the other members. We thank them both, most sincerely, for all the effort and time in promoting and running our club. The remaining members of the steering group will keep the club going for the foreseeable future and regular supporters will be encouraged to help on club nights with setting up and tidying up at the end of the evening. Thank you George and Helen.

Approaching from out of town it is preferable to take the Darlington Football stadium turn off from the A66 southern ringroad, under the low bridge and just past the first roundabout on the left. There is a large Copper Beech tree just outside!!. Post code for sat navs is DL1 4DH. more information and maps will appear in the "Contact Us "page.
