A pleasant evening with a little run for fun to celebrate midsummer. This small event is ideal for those looking for a pleasant midweek evening out. The 4 mile-ish run is to and from the pub and is along the country lanes around Iden and Rye Foreign.
Competitors set off in groups of four and the times worked out later to find out our winners. Just a fiver to enter and there's a free barbecue for all runners - plus live music to finish the evening.
No medals on offer but plenty of prizes for winners and a spot prize or two.
No entry form either - but it would help if you could let us know you're coming so we can cater for hungry runners.
We look forward to seeing you!

Don't forget the Twangs
Don't forget that the fantastic Twang Dragons are appearing live at the Royal Oak on Sunday September 28th. If you like your music “a little bit country, a little bit fire-breathin' serpintine grooving rocker” then you just can't afford to miss The Twang Dragons! 
The band hail from the USA and visit the UK each year - and the highlight of the tour is always the Royal Oak gig.
The music starts at 4 but why not book early, make a day of it and enjoy a pre-gig Sunday lunch?
Oh - and and don't forget your Cowboy Hat and spurs!

The Return of the Twangs!!
One of the highlights of the local live music scene sees the return of the Twang Dragons this month. The band are flying in from the USA for their annual British tour – with the highlight a special Sunday afternoon gig here at the Oak.
The award-winning band has been described as “a little bit country, a little bit fire-breathin' serpentine grooving rock”. Whatever you call their music though, it's performed by top rate musicians — you really don’t want to miss them!
It's going to be a great afternoon - and we want plenty of cowboy hats and western dress please!
If you've not heard or seen the Twang Dragons, check out their website www.twangdragons.com or check them out on My Space or You Tube.

Christmas is coming
It'll soon be here!!
Pip has ironed out his beard and the Christmas Bells have been through the washing machine!
More to the point, we’re already taking bookings for Christmas parties. The Oak can take groups of up to 40 and as well as great food; we can also provide any entertainment you need to make your party go down a storm.
Your Christmas Party at the Oak includes a great three course meal; a party pack of Christmas crackers and other Festive goodies.

Come and celebrate Father's Day at the Oak
The first known celebration of Father's Day was on July 5, 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia, where it was commemorated at William Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South – now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton is believed to have suggested it to her pastor after a deadly explosion in nearby Monongah in December, killing 361 men.
It was also during a sermon in 1909 that Sonora Smart Dodd became inspired by Mother's Day. After the death of her mother, Sonora and her siblings were raised by their father William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran. Sonora wanted to show how thankful she was to her father and, because William was born in June, she worked to have the first Father's Day celebrated on June 19, 1910.
In 1924, President Coolidge recommended that Father's Day become a national holiday. President Johnson designated the third Sunday of June to be Father's Day in 1966. It was not until 1972 that President Nixon instituted Father's Day as a national observance.
Pip is looking forward to this Sunday - he remembers the fuss made about Dads when he was a youngster. All the old boys coming back from the front used to have their powdered egg Sunday brunches. He still hankers back to that time of austerity and ArthurAskey. Sentimental old fool!!
We're looking forward to a great Father's Day on Sunday - but be warned it could be busy. So, if you want to treat Dad, why not bring him along to the Oak this Sunday?
Lunchtime or evenings - we're not proud!
