Christmas Corroboree XVII
Arrrrrh!
It's that time of year again folks so here it is! .....
For the Seventeenth year running, please step aboard the good ship Black Pig and join us once again for what is almost certainly the UK's longest running annual event:
This year's venue is:
The Crown & 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 & Anchor's website here
Kick-off is at 12.30pm and we expect to be wrapping things up around 5:00pm - but hey! ... it's a pub so you can stay longer if you desire
We have reserved the front bar area to the left and right just as you go in the main door for our use but we are free to use the rest of the pub/dining area if you require to eat.
Well behaved clean dogs are welcome however they must remain in the bar area at the front of the pub and not enter the dining area.
For your delight, 5 hand pulled real ales are always available on a rotating basis 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 90 active caches within 3km of the event location but there is always room for more!
The usual annual mega-raffle will also be held and drawn at 3:30pm with the proceeds split 50/50 between a charity of our choice and one of The Crown & Anchors choice so donations on the day will be most welcome - thank you!
