New Events, a New Pub and a Fantasy Football Competition!

It’s been a while since our last blog post on the popular Renfrewshire Pubs website, but here it is, at long last. As you know the site is run voluntarily and we rely a lot on having the free time to keep it up date. We also rely a lot on the feedback of pub goers, pub owners and Renfrewshire residents to keep us up to date on events they know of, so that we can spread the word. Fortunately there has been a lot of that in recent weeks, so thank you all!

A new pub

We’ve just added a new pub to the website: Bar 5 @ Five on 5 in Paisley. You can find out more on their dedicated Bar 5 page on our site. Having attended a charity night there in recent weeks ourselves, we can personally recommend it is a pub worth a visit.

Events updates

We list hundreds of events on the site, a mixture of recurring weekly events and one off events. Some of those seem to be out of date, while we’ve also heard of others. With that in mind, we’ve trawled through the database and started updating. This has included updates / additions to events for pubs across Renfrewshire including The Anchor Bar, The Brown Bull, The Bankhouse, The Glenleven Inn, Hamishes Hoose, Howwood Inn and more.

More updates will follow. If we’ve not got your event listed, contact us with the details and we’ll add it

Fantasy Football anyone?

As you know, we don’t promote football very often. It’s not that we’re against it, but the volume of it on TV would mean all other events are quickly diluted on our site. However, we did run a Fantasy Football League last year, and we’ve re-opened it for this year!

It’s absolutely free to join and run via the popular http://fantasy.premierleague.com, based on the English Premier League. We don’t offer prizes, but the competition itself does offer some. We simply offer the opportunity to gain bragging rights over your friends!

Everyone is welcome, though it’s best if you’ve a connection to a Renfrewshire Pub or Renfrewshire itself. It help keeps it local.

Head over to the site (http://fantasy.premierleague.com) and create your team. Then visit the leagues section and request to join a private league. The code you’ll need to join our “Renfrewshire Pubs” league is: 846281-210240

Poker Nights, Pubs Quiz Nights and Live Music – Part of our new Events in Renfrewshire Section

As part of our aim to cover all sorts of social activity within Pubs, Bars and Inns across Renfrewshire, we can now announce the new section of our site focused on Events in Renfrewshire.

This section of the site will run alongside our regular event updates on Facebook, but rather than post every week on Facebook about weekly pub quiz nights, weekly poker nights and so on, we thought we’d simply create a list of weekly events for you to refer to.

We’ll continue to use Facebook events to let you know of individual bands playing in the area, or one off events such as comedy nights and psychic night, but will keep details of karaoke nights, quiz nights etc on site.

To get started, the first events added within our new Events in Renfrewshire pages include the weekly Poker League hosted by pubs across Renfrewshire, pub quiz nights hosted by pubs across Renfrewshire and of course a list of all the live music we’ve been made aware of so far.

We’ll soon be adding other events and more live music as pubs and bands make us aware of dates.

As always, if you’ve any events you’d like added, please let us know.
