For the thirteenth year running, please step aboard the good ship Black Pig and join us once again for:
Christmas Corroboree XIII
Arrrrrh!
This year's venue is once again:
The Crown and Anchor
Barugh Lane
Barugh Green
Barnsley
S75 1LL
Full details regarding the pub's location, menus and ales etc. can be found on the Crown and Anchor's website here
Kick-off is at 12.00 midday and we expect the final reprobates to be leaving around 7pm.
Well behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are clean however they must remain in the bar area at the front of the pub. Well behaved kids and OAPs are as always welcome (as long as they are clean) too!
We have reserved the front bar area for our use but we are free to use the rest of the pub/dining area if required however dogs are not allowed in the dining area
For your delight, 6 real ales are generally available as well as a bank of regular draft lagers and ales. Whisky drinkers are also well catered for!
The menus are also comprehensive catering for all requirements from sandwiches to full meals
We hope to see all the regular suspects there but equally as important, new geocachers are particularly welcome who can be assured of a warm reception and a chat about all things Geocaching related which will be readily given (especially after a few beers)
If anyone wants to set caches for the day, please feel free. There are currently over 140 active caches within 3 miles of the event location but there is always room for more!
As usual, Santa's Secret Cache packed with goodies for the kids will be parachuted somewhere into the area for the day so keep an eye out for it being published just prior to the event. A raffle will also be held to fund the cache with surplus proceeds going to The Crown and Anchor's chosen charity so raffle donations on the day will be most welcome
The Crown and Anchor is 2.7 miles from Junction 38 of the M1 just off the A637 heading towards Barnsley. On entering Barugh turn right at the first mini roundabout onto Barugh Lane and the venue is on your right in about 100yds
