SAVE WATER   -   DRINK BEER

                  

• The big one (£1200) went on Sunday.  Well done Jo. (No surnames, in case they start receiving begging letters).  I'm starting it off at an optimistic £350 next weekend, so buy your tickets on Sunday lunchtime, 'cos if it doesn't go it's only your dosh that boosts the prize for the following week.
  The more you scream, the faster it goes. Or something like that.
  
  
  
  
• The Great Charity Quiz raised just over £600 for the charity Pepper.
  Thank you to all those who took part, and well done to the winning team, a good looking (especially the one who needs a shave) and highly intelyjunt bunch who were very surprised to find out we they had actually won!
  (There is no truth in the rumour that the prize of the wine was too heavy to carry, so they drank it all on the way home).
  Raffle prizes were donated by various local organisations, the Club and even by a few members.  Thank you.
  Well done Pete for thinking up the questions, and hosting the quiz.
  
  
• We have discontinued Sky Sports, and Sky in general.  The cost to the Club has risen from £700 per month to £1140, and we felt this was a disproportionate increase.  We need to sell an awful lot of pints (as opposed to a lot of awful pints) during the odd footy match to justify paying the proposed rental charge.
  We will be looking at alternatives as and when they become available.  During the meanwhile, we will most likely install FreeSat, which could keep you all entertained with sports such as 'celebrity midget mud wrestling on ice'.
  
  
  
• We're hot!  Or you will be if you go out on the patio.  We've installed a couple of new, more efficient heaters.  They're on timers, so you only have 15 mins to suck on your fag.
  I bet that brings back memories for all you old Etonians? And is it legal? - Ed
  
  
  
• All dogs must now be on a lead when on Club premises, the other end of which should be secured in your hand, round a chair or table leg, your leg, whatever... but please make sure they are not runnin' wild (didn't Marilyn Monroe sing that?) and pooping all over the place. You'd be surprised at what they get up to when you're not looking. They can do that down in the meadow. (that's enough Marilyn - Ed)
  
  
  
• You've missed it.  The Barn Club AGM was held on 26th May.
  There was no election, and the Committee members are the same motley crew as last year.
  
  
  
  
• New Beer!  You may have noticed that we have a couple of new beers on tap.
  Our lagers are Kronenbourg 1664, Fosters and Amstel.  John Smiths and Courage Best are the keg bitters.  Naturally we are still serving Rebellion.  (We wouldn't let that go without a fight).

• Please also insure that you sign your guests into the guest book.  
  This is a legal requirement, and a [very] strict  condition of the new licensing
  laws regarding private clubs.
  All those present in the Club should be members, and guests who have been signed in.
  
  

• I hope those of you that are interested have noticed that not only do we serve a decent pint of Rebellion IPA (3.7 ABV), but we now rack up the Rebellion Seasonal or Monthly Ales.
  We are currently serving Kick Start(4.2 ABV) on draught and also the Pils, Blonde, Red & White are all available in bottles from the cold shelf.
