DERBY, WE HAVE A QUESTION…👀

Who actually IS the cleverest pub quiz team around here? 🧠🏆

Well, we’re about to find out… because Quiz Night at The White Swan is now EVERY THURSDAY! 🙌

⏰ 7.30pm start
🏆 Prizes to be won
🍻 Drinks at the ready
🧠 General knowledge at the ready… hopefully 😂

🏆 AND… we’re launching The White Swan Quiz League! Starting tomorrow night, every quiz counts!

We’ll keep a running league table each week, so pick your team name, keep coming back and see if you can work your way to the top. 👀🧠

Who’ll be crowned our first White Swan Quiz League Champions? 🏆

It starts tomorrow night!

Today’s the day! Elliott Hickey and his colleagues from Alliance Groundworks & Civils are taking on their huge Jurassic Coast Challenge today! 💪

🚴‍♂️ 22km cycle
🛶 3km kayak
🥾 12km hike

But watching this video is a reminder of why they’re doing it. ❤️

The incredible children and families supported by Birmingham Children’s Hospital face challenges far bigger than anything Elliott and the team will face today. If a day of aching legs, tired arms and probably a few blisters can help raise money for such an amazing cause, it’ll be worth every mile.

If any of our White Swan customers and friends would like to support them, please use the link in the comments below to donate. Every little bit really does count. ❤️

And if you see Elliott in the pub after this… we think he’s definitely earned a pint! 🍺😂

Good luck ❤️

❤️ INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CHARITY ❤️

Today feels like the perfect day to share not one, but two amazing charity challenges being taken on by members of our White Swan family! 🤍🦢

🏉 Greg & our regular Chris will be taking on a 15-mile walk, carrying the match ball from Burnaston to Long Eaton RFC ahead of the Long Eaton vs Ilkeston derby — all in support of the MND Association.

🚴‍♂️🛶🥾 And on 21st September, Elliott and his colleagues at Alliance are heading to the Jurassic Coast to tackle 22km cycling, 3km kayaking AND a 12km hike — all in ONE day! 😳 This one is raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity.

Two very different challenges. Two incredible causes. ❤️

We know times are tough and nobody is expected to donate to everything, but if you can spare even a few pounds towards either challenge, it would mean so much. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing their posts can make a huge difference too. 🙏

We’ll be sharing the donation details for both — please get behind Greg, Chris, Elliott and everyone taking part!

Links to both of the Just Giving pages can be found in the comments 👇

Good luck guys… The whole Swan community is behind you! 🤍🦢
