12th June: Swan Elders at GRC
The Green Room College (GRC), our on-site sixth form college, were delighted to welcome Castro and Mary, their friends from the village of Mankoadze in Ghana. They gave a Swan Elders talk to the students about life in the village and the vocational college which Castro heads, while Mary spoke about the work she does as a community nurse. The GRC been linked with Mankoadze for many years now through the Teabag charity and have enjoyed some virtual tours of the village. This is the first time they've met in person with some of the people who they all share so much in common with.

15th June: Cider and Sausage Festival
Sunday was not only Fathers' Day but also our first ever Sausage and Cider Festival! On a fabulous sunny afternoon, we enjoyed Micky's amazing Sausage Platters washed down with a Kicking Goat and/or a Gravity Theory - great craft ciders from independent brewers.


17th June: Micky and LOYA 2025
Licensee of the Year 2025 is all wrapped up, Micky made it to the top 6 best Licensees in the UK.



He had a gruelling seven interviews in total over the two days, but plenty of fizz and an absolutely incredible experience.




There was a fanstastic crowd in the pub watching the live feed and supporting Micky.







Thank you all for your unwavering support for Micky and The Swan. He's made some incredible connections that will undoubtedly help The Swan moving forward.



The winners were Mike and Tommy from The Three Horseshoes, Witney.

19th June: Bingo Night
Bingo Night was the last before our short summer recess and it was a really busy one with lots of newbies. The Bingo Gods smiled on a number of players who won small and large drinks, and on Rossi and Claire who scooped the Top of The Bill cash prizes





25th June: Quiz Night
Patrick's Posse roared back and won the quiz tonight. And June got a packet of crisps in the raffle! That means the raffle prize is starting to mount up - why not go along to the next quiz to find out exactly how much could be won?


27th June: Coffee Morning
At our Charity Coffee Morning you raised another £205 for our community charity, the Windsor Homeless Project. Many thanks to those who baked cakes and donated to eat them (or both!).

28th June: Windsor's Got Talent
Our Windsor's Got Talent contest is officially over for 2025, and what a fabulous event it was! The winner has taken home a £50 bar tab, and the opportunity to give the headline performance at our summer SwanFest at 3pm Saturday 16th August!




BUT as the competition was so good, all of the other acts will support the winner from 2pm. And the winner was.......
