Your round? Get the drinksin…

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks at drinksin HQ. We’ve now settled in all snuggly into our new office in Windsor and for the past few weeks have been gathering feedback, feedback and more feedback from users of drinksinreading.com as well as the pubs and bars we support.

As always some amazing suggestions. We’d love to get a few more replies before we go into our next development meeting so if you have any suggestions, would love to hear what you think. You can enter here

We ran a competition to win 3 bottles of Veuve Cliquot at Reading’s Twestival too. Congrats to the winners and shame on you for saving for special occasions. Ok, I’m only saying that because I fancied a glass. Nonetheless, Mojito’s went down a treat. Thanks to Chris and his team at Mix Bar and Twestival organisers, definitely a night to remember.

What else has been going on, oh yes the drinksin messenger pigeon dissapeared off to Bestival! We were worried until we saw sightings. He has unreservedly aoplogised for going missing in action.

We’ve also met Rob Wilson, Reading’s Conservative MP to talk about our plans for the future and to see how we may be able to further support Reading’s publican community. Great to meet him and some excellent all round advice received.
