Three Pubwatch schemes — Newcastle City Centre, Padstow, and Colchester — will be vying to become Pubwatch of the year at the organisation’s annual awards.

The awards recognise the work of local Pubwatch schemes and their efforts to provide safe drinking environments for customers and staff.
The winner and the two schemes which will be highly commended, will attend an awards dinner in the House of Lords on 21st October.
“The quality of entries this year was extremely high and it was a tough challenge to get these down to three finalists,” said National Pubwatch chairman Steve Baker OBE.
The awards are sponsored by J D Wetherspoon.
