Events Diary for 2022
2022 started with covid and Boris dominating the news headlines. No lockdown but face masks, booster shots and testing were the norm. With no lockdown, The Swan continued with events but with the recommendation people tested and took the appropriate precautions when attending. Eventually Covid was in the past and our kitchen opened in mid-May. By December we had three Prime Ministers, four Chancellors of the Exchequer and inflation in double digits. And it was an end of an era with the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

APRIL
Twenty brave souls met with a FeverTree mixologist to learn about pairing and mixing a really good gin and tonic. Of course they were forced, yes forced, to drink what they had concocted. A great night was had.
They were some photos taken of the Gin Tasting Evening. Unfortunately we are a little light for the rest of the month.

September saw the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charless III. This curtailed many of our normal events during the month. Our September event diary is therefore a little light.

All Hallows' Eve brought out the spooks and ghouls so we had to call in the Datchet Border Morris dancers to fight them off and make The Swan safe again for another year. This, and other events, can be seen in our October Events Diary
