After Sarah, Jill, Paul, Michelle and Jane joined us it all went a bit pear shaped. After the Limes we visited The Swan and Chequer, The Lower Chequer (best real ale of the day), The Bear, Curshaws and rounded off the evening at the Swan and Chequer Karaoke Disco. Spikey kept a paper record of the scores for a while and we abandoned the challenge after the Lower Chequer. We resolved to finish off the Sandbach 20 another day and will add any photos and scores to the blog.
Spikey had done well with his research, even though we forgot about the Commercial on his original list, he also included the Turnpike which is turned out to be a nursing home! There are also various clubs where you can drink in the Bach, cricket, rugby, Legion and golf clubs. Overall a fantastic 41st birthday for Spikey topped off by partying into the early hours with the locals at the Swan and Chequer.
