Inkpen pub offers chance to win flight

Swan Inn landlords are raising money for charity by giving up their West Berkshire flight prize

CUSTOMERS at The Swan Inn, Inkpen, are being given the chance to win a free flight over the West Berkshire countryside in a light aircraft.

All contestants have to do is to correctly guess the amount in a charity collection jar on the bar.

Licensee Bernard Harris (pictured), who runs the pub with wife Mary, said: “Each year we have a Christmas sweepstake to guess the value in the Parkinsons Society charity pot. Mary and I won second prize - a half hour flight from Brimpton Airfield worth about £120.”

The couple decided to donate the prize and start a new competition, at £1 a go.
