Helping to end this chapter of the Gauntlet

Hello everyone, thankyou for taking the time to read this.

I have created this fundraiser to help Simon with a mountain of troubles created by his absence due to ill health.

As most of you will know Simon was taken poorly very suddenly in July of this year, it resulted in a major life saving operation which required him to stay in hospital for a few weeks, in the meantime the pub was left in the capable hands of Alex and the rest of the amazing team.

Whilst they did a sterling job of keeping the pub going unfortunately the bills could not pay themselves, along with Simons absence and the brewery being very unhelpful this accumulated to out of control debts and the problem of Simon unable to order any stock for the pub.

As Simon is so determined he used his own life savings to keep beer in the taps to allow the pub to stay open.

That money has now ran out but Simon is still not giving up!

Simon has been opening the pub and allowing (for a small charge) customers to bring their own drinks in the hope that he can keep the pub alive.

This is where you come in…

I am asking please anything you can spare please donate so we can help Simon clear some overdue bills and be able to start his new Chapter.

Over the last few years of covid Simon continued to serve food delivering it to people that could not leave the house, he delivered meals to elderly customers and was potentially the only person they would see for weeks on end, he has raised money for numerous charities, as well as opening the pub for storage of charity donations .

This man deserves a medal but unfortunately bills can’t be paid with medals
