Some of the mess occupants have to share the big rooms but the public rooms for dining etc. are more than umple. V
The public bar is still open for business and a comfortable sit- ting room with private exit has been opened, access to this be- ing by way of the bar entrance is now reserved for, the military. Recent Improvements.
