I have an update.
After some weeks of negotiation with our landlord, I have managed to secure our usual venue at the Spiritual Home for the evening part of our Epiphany celebration.
What's more, I have even been able to lift the ban on the Kazoo Two but only on condition that there are no musical instruments of any kind.
Camping will be available in the Epiphany Field and the landlord may still have some rooms available for those of a more sensitive disposition.
Musical instruments and singing will be permitted, in fact positively encouraged at our lunchtime venue.
I know it isn't the Mid-Essex way to be organised but can people start letting me know if they are coming for lunch as i need to ensure we have the correct catering and, more importantly, enough beer to drink.
