Royal Mile: New Times and September

Greetings, everyone!

First news, the Royal Mile Management has moved the jam back to being 3 hours long! So our new hours are from 2-5, first Sunday of the month.

Speaking of which, because of a conflict with the Virginia Scottish Games (which most of us will be at), we may move the September Royal Mile jam to the 2nd week, if management is agreeable. Stay tuned to this page for more info.
