Club dates published until end of April
Music Club meetings and Open Mic Night dates until the end of April 2022 are now available in the Events section.
Open Mic Night on 24th November 2021 CANCELLED
The RBL has issued the following statement. “Due to the increases in Covid cases nationally, the club Committee have decided to cancel all entertainment this week. This includes the bingo, quiz, joker and all music. The committee thank you for your understanding. This is to restrict large crowds. The club will remain open as usual and we will update next week.” I asked the committee how this will affect the music club meetings and the upcoming Open Mic Night. The update is “We have discussed this and feel your music club is fine but because we have cancelled all club activities it would probably be best to cancel the open mic night on the 24th. Hopefully we will resume club entertainment on the 27th and all should be fine for your Dec open mic night. Please let your members know.“ Club meetings are fine as there’s no crowd so tomorrow (Wednesday) is OK. Open Mic Night on 24th November is cancelled. However we will hold a normal club meeting on that evening instead.
Open Mic Night for December added
Traditionally we haven't had an Open Mic Night in December as the 4th Wednesday usually clashes with Christmas. However, this year, the RBL have offered us the 3rd Wednesday , the 15th. A positive vote was had at the last Open Mic Night so we're going ahead. Put it in your diary!

After our enforced break, we are pleased to announce that there will be an Open Mic Night on 28th July 2021 at the Royal British Legion Dymchurch at 8pm. More dates will be published in due course
Club Nights and Open Mic Nights
In the light of the Prime Ministerial broadcast earlier concerning social gatherings, we needed to make a decision regarding Club nights and the open mic night. A quick poll indicates that the majority of members contacted feel that Open Mic nights should be cancelled for the (un)foreseeable future. There are many people in the vulnerable group both in the audience and performing and the official advice on reducing contact should be heeded. We will post on both here and on Facebook cancelling March 25th but will hold off for the moment on a decision on April.
Club nights seem to be undecided. Roger and Nicki say they are willing to meet on Wednesdays as usual. We think that if people wish to meet informally it’s up to the individual but we don’t think that as a club we should be meeting formally.
The Legion have a committee meeting tonight (Tuesday 17th) to decide their opening policy so matters may be taken out of our hands anyway.
We’ll keep you posted
