On Sunday the village of Ponsanooth came together in a show of support for the Save The Stag community pub project. The Pop-Up Pub In The Park event featured a host of activities throughout the day, and centred around The Hundred Mile Challenge. The Challenge saw the whole community pull together in an attempt to walk, run, cycle, scoot and skate a combined distance of 100 miles. Not only did the village reach the ambitious target, but in the space of 5 hours, together they travelled over 170 miles! Designed to represent the village’s aim of raising the funds required to bring the pub into community ownership, everyone got involved and did what they could to build the combined total. “This was the ultimate show of the power of a village community – whether you walked one lap or ran 20 laps of the park, every contribution helped. If we are to succeed in buying the pub for the village we will need everyone to come together and contribute in whatever way they can.” Sam Fitch, Chair, Save The Stag
