"The Two Sawyers" Entertain.

Through the generosity of the customers of "The Two Sawyers" Inn, Woolage Green, the forty-one old age pensioners in the area received a present at Christmas time. In addition, about 25 old people enjoyed themselves at a lunch given at the inn on Saturday. Drinks were supplied as a present from Fremlin's, the brewer.

For 160 years the inn had been in the hands of the Fox family until during the summer when Mr. C. Jaynes became the licensee. One of those who received a present of 6/- was ninety-year-old Joe Fox who held the licence of "The Two Sawyers" 26 years ago.

The Christmas treat fund was organised by Mr. J. Stewart (Secretary) and Mrs. H. Hughes (Treasurer) and the feast was cooked by two lady customers of the inn.

Drastic measures.

Landlord drives his customers home.

THE police crackdown on drink driving has led Dover publican Rob Warren, to take drastic measures - he picks up the customers himself.

Takings at the Two Sawyers, in Woolage Green, near Shepherdswell, dropped as more and more regulars heeded warnings about being caught over the legal limit. Mr Warren, 26, and his wife Helen decided to start up a free taxi scheme to collect diners and drinkers across the district.

The service runs from Sandwich and Deal to Dover and Folkestone.

To promote the free rides scheme, more than 3,000 leaflets have been printed and will soon be distributed.

Mr Warren, who has been at the Two Sawyers for nine months, said: "People do not come out this far without taking their car and drink driving was hit really hard this year with the police cracking down on it. We decided we had to do something about it."

The traditional country pub gave lifts home to the local customers who live in a three or four mile radius but wanted to expand the circle of trade.

Diners who now book a place in the restaurant will be picked up from home in a luxury car and given a bottle of bubbly.

Those who simply want a few jars are collected in a Land Rover.

A police spokesman said: "People who like going to nice country pubs face the dilemma about how to get there.

"That means that many people might have to take it in turns to be the designated driver.

"The scheme Rob and Helen started sounds like a wonderful idea for both the pub and customers. It also promotes safety on the roads:"
