The Royal Oak, Rusper

I would like to support the comments about the Pantomime Horse Race happening this weekend. There are multiple activities happening on the day, all designed to raise funds for St Catherine�s Hospice and provide a great family day out for anyone.

Tug-O-War kicks of the agenda which is one of my favorites. If only more pubs could encourage their 'friendly locals' to participate in such activities, then this could become a regular fixture on the weekends throughout the summer.

The fact that that a pub team from Devon is travelling up to Sussex for the occasion, is testament to how passionate the regulars are about supporting these activities that bring communities together.

Some of the fundraising activities on Saturday, include the Horse Races, Auction, Raffle, and you too can enter a chicken in the chicken race. Even 'Martin the Plant' is having his hair cut for the first time in years, to raise money for this worthwhile cause.

This truly is a pub to be proud of, and one that I feel privileged to drink in.
