Hi Everyone

First of all, one or two apologies are in order.   It looks like gremlins have got into our website once again and it's been temporarily down for a large part of thursday afternoon.

On the bright side, we've had our best people working on it and we're up and running once again.

Secondly, Before we tell you what's happening at the Rising Sun this weekend, a spot of blowing one's trumpet is in order as we've been nominated for Charity of the Year in this year’s Pride of Reading Awards.

The Pride of Reading awards celebrate exceptional courage, standards and success from individuals and business' across Reading. We're delighted to receive this nomination.
