More about our Pop Up Pub

As you know the POP-UP White Lion was on duty at the Whitchurch Hill fete on the 23rd May.

We had a great time serving all the thirsty folk at the fete, and once again thank you and a BIG round of applause to our Volunteers who staffed the Bar.

Emma Burdon, Jan Cottam, Beth Westcar, Julie Giles, Karen and Cath, John Crompton, Chris Whatmore, Richard, Ivan, Adrian, Alex and Paul Greenwood.

Now a few more names to mention-BIG thanks to-

Why we do it!

Our Bar team in action

Thirsty Fete 'Go-ers'

To run our campaign, we hold a ‘Fighting Fund’

This pays for the Website, the domain name, the encrypted Email service and protected data base, also any fees that crop up for maintaining the White Lion Crays Pond Community Interest Company we have registered.

It also pays for Leaflets; Leaflet drops and marketing such as the sign shown above.

We added a fantastic £551 to the fighting fund from the profits from the POP-UP PUB.

We also contributed £230 to the Fete Committee funds.  

Thank you all for supporting the Fete and
