Details for the 2018 Annual Independents’ Day Treasure Hunt have been confirmed. Please see the Annual Independents’ Day Treasure Hunt page for full details.

On Wednesday 9 May we presented Ken Bailey (Steward), Mike Kearns (Secretary) and James E Cropper (Bar staff) of The Royal British Legion, Boothstown, with our Club of the year award for 2018.

The Royal British Legion, which opened in 1947, has been turned around from nearly being closed ten years ago, to a welcoming, cosy club with various rooms, two snooker tables, dart boards, a lovely outside area and even a gin bar!

The club hosts a beer festival on the weekend following remembrance Sunday.
