The venue (Swan hotel) also in the news for other things at the moment:

Quote
A TROWBRIDGE milkshake bar and a Bradford on Avon hotel have been named and shamed for failing to pay their workers properly.

Sirox Limited, trading as Shakeaway in The Shires, failed to pay one worker £460.97 and Jaguna Ltd, trading as the Swan Hotel in Church Street, failed to pay two workers £188.59.

The figures were released by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, who named 358 businesses across the country who underpaid 15,520 workers a total of £995,233.

James Sullivan-Tailyour, the owner of The Swan Hotel and Jaguna Ltd, which is based in Warminster, declined to comment as did Sirox Ltd, owners of Shakeaway.

The meeting will take place in the outbuilding / stables this time, rather than the cellar bar where WWRUG's previous B-o-A meeting was held, which was generally agreed to be rather cramped. I do recall the outbuilding being under reconstruction when we were in there a couple of years ago on the annual WWRUG visit to the town, but - fingers crossed - that should be long since completed.   Always interesting to see where we meet at The Swan!
