Our neighbouring pub is holding a music festival in aid of a very good cause. They have a great line up and one of the Barge's chefs, Nigel Wallace, is helping to organise the event. Warning: The Kings Arms is a Waddies pub, so better get a 'Croppie' carry out before you go.

Manager Alan Bowery
Alan's been 'manning the pumps' for nine years, serving up a first class pint. A popular and genial host, especially if you treat him to a pint of Croppie! He's a Led Zeppelin fan so don't expect any Barry Manilow on the playlist!
The Barge Inn
"One of the great Wiltshire Pubs"
Both a genuine community local and a place to enjoy a really first class meal.
A warm Barge welcome to Chas & Betty from Windsor, who will be helping out Alan and Carl this month.
Chef Carl Games
Like many of the Barge's regulars, Carl's canal boat is moored near the pub. He has a passion for fresh natural produce and an appreciation and desire to use small local artisan suppliers for the Barges' kitchen.
Vince touching up his masterpiece.
“The Barge indeed is Crop Circle Central –there’s even Croppie ale for sale – and circle aficionados arrive to camp here from all over the world: in the visitors’ book Kerry from Australia has written: ‘Great crop circles! Great people!’, while Miranda and Trond from Norway say: ‘Great to be back at Croppie HQ!’ No wonder an official at the Wiltshire Tourist Board tells me that they love crop circles; together with the numinous delights of Stonehenge and Avebury Rings they’re the county's biggest draws. “

Honeystreet Ales Helps Save SETI Institutes' Search for Aliens
The truth is out there and with help from Honeystreet Ales the SETI project, and its mission to seek out new life and new civilisations, will hopefully get back on course. Budget cuts have forced the SETI Institute (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), to mothball its Allen Telescope Array. The set of 42 radio telescopes is sited in northern California and scans the skies for potential alien radio signals; originally funded by Paul Allen (billionaire co-founder of Microsoft) the project is in danger of closing as funds have run out. Simon Pye of Honeystreet Ales said "SETI are conducting research vital to the development of our award winning beers and ciders and we have pledged our financial support to help enable this essential project to continue."
The SETI Institute wrote to Honeystreet Ales' Director. " Dear Ian, The advancements we have made in SETI research, astrobiology and science education can be attributed in many ways to people like you who have generously supported our mission. We are grateful for your generosity. On behalf of our entire organisation, thank you again... With your help, there is no limit to what we may discover."
