- Regional POTY judging trip
Saturday 18 May 2024
Chippenham
On 18th May, committee members will be driving a group to visit and judge the Regional Pub of the Year candidate pubs.
The area covered spans from Wootton Basset to Bristol, and up into the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire, so the day involves a one-day road trip fitting in as many of the pubs as possible. In addition, in the case of a couple of the more easily accessible local pubs, judges will make separate visits to those.
Spaces are likely to be limited, to express your interest in taking part, please email ku.gro.armacstliwwn@yraterces.
