Pocket Pubs for Papworth Trust A team from Taylor Vinters solicitors has launched Pocket Pubs, a unique pub guide that they will sell to raise money for leading disability charity, Papworth Trust.
Pocket Pubs is an innovative guide to all the pubs in Cambridge in the form of a packet of traditional playing cards which also doubles as a competitive "Pocket Pub Statistics" game. Each card in the pack features a pub in Cambridge showing a photo, short description, fascinating fact and a series of Pocket Pub Statistics including capacity, outside seating, numbers of beers and wines and in addition a series of icons highlighting the features of the pub.
The idea was proposed by the Taylor Vinters team as part of the Grand Challenge, the ‘Apprentice style’ fund-raising competition from Papworth Trust. As part of the competition, Taylor Vinters also produced and sold waterproof bike seat covers (www.bikeseatcover.co.uk) and had a 'Lucky Sixes' team, both teams raised a total of over £5000.
Cambridge is the first town to have Pocket Pubs but its founders, Tim Hill and Michael Colledge, plan to roll out the initiative throughout the United Kingdom. Tim Hill, marketing manager at Taylor Vinters says:
"At £5.99 the pack of cards has to be one of the best deals in Cambridge for pub lovers. Pocket Pubs is a comprehensive guide to 65 pubs in the city, and contains free vouchers for a pint and a cocktail these are worth nearly £10. We have already taken advance orders and with all the profits from this edition going to support leading disability charity, Papworth Trust we are hoping for a sell out." Pocket Pubs are being sold for £5.99 with all profits from the first edition going to Papworth Trust to promote equality, choice and independence for disabled people. Thanks to the support of the Punter pub and Snug Bars, each pack contains vouchers for a free Mojito and a free pint of cask ale helping you save money and enjoy Cambridge.
Pocket Pubs cards are £5.99 a pack can be bought at selected pubs (currently The Cambridge Blue, The Old Spring, and The Punter) or on this website. Even if you do not live in Cambridge or do not want a set of Pocket Pubs cards please donate some money by using the secure Pay Pal link below.
