May 2024
Here is a round-up of the events at The Swan during May, 2024.
3rd May: Mirella
Friend of The Swan Chatty Café host- Mirella Paul - was doing a sponsored walk to raise funds for the restoration of the pub. It was a horrible say but Mirella and 12 others completed a 5km circular walk that started and finished at The Swan. They raised over £510. Afterwards, they met with oher Chatty Café regulars for a good old natter.
Mirella was interviewed by Royal Borough Radio for the Community Matters show. During the interview she describes what she was hoping to achieve. It is well worth listening too. Congratulations Mirella!

4th May: May the Fourth be with you!
The Jedi and Sith came out in full force for May the 4th be with you. The sun was shining, Darth Lainey performed a fabulous couple of sets of live music and Admiral Ackbar's snack bar was a roaring success... Not to forget a very fortunate visit from the Mandalorian sniper! Thank you all for supporting and basking in our sun trap garden!
8th May: Quiz Night
Micky was back in the chair at this week's pub quiz, aided by Peter who stepped into the breach to solve an un-anticipated sound problem. With delicious irony the 'Stereo Not Working Swans' grabbed the £25 top prize.
Whilst Daniel from Four Candles chose the coveted Packet of Crisps raffle prize. Next quiz, the raffle prize will be £80.
16th May: Bingo Night
Bingo proved to be very popular especially when you could get a Thai meal too. We had more than 40 inside and another 30 outside between the two having a fantastic time. Bingo is most certainly going through a renaissance at the moment and The Swan seems to be the place to be. Why not join us? Eyes down!
16th May: Swan Elders
GRC welcomed an old friend of The Green Room and The Swan, PCSO David Bullock in for this week's Swan Elder. David spoke about his tireless work in the community, and most importantly, give us a refresher on how to use the defib which is placed outside The Swan. David, a familiar face to many in the Windsor community, has been instrumental in getting so many public access defibs onto our streets, including our own!
