Regrettably, in the past couple of years, a few pub crawlers chose to involve themselves with activities that were not as "family friendly" as could be wished. When the Board of Directors of the games were informed of these activities, they were quite concerned that the pub crawl was becoming a liability.
So...to prevent drunken louts from bringing unwanted, adverse attention, the Board discontinued the sanctioned pub crawl.
UGGGGH! Always someone screwing up a good thing
So, I guess we don't have anything for the fun-loving adults can get into. It's already sad that the games are only for a day (and all the way out in Greencove Springs, but that's another thing), now, we don't have a decent pub crawl. If the gang wants to do anything on Friday or Saturday, let's get something together.
