PHOTOS: Pub's barrel of laughs was for a good cause!
Around 150 people gathered at The Chequers pub in Swinford for the barrel of laughs.
They pushed the barrel to the neighbouring village pub - the Cherry Tree at Catthorpe - and back again.

Pushing in a relay, the ‘rollers’ did the three mile return trip to Catthorpe and back in around 90 minutes.
With other fund raising events, including a quiz night and a raffle, Brian hopes to raise up to £2,000 for Diabetes UK.
The barrel roll echoed the one Brian and pub regulars did 30 years ago, when Brian and his wife Chris first took over The Chequers.
The original roll was between the couple’s old pub, The Shakespeare in Rugby, and The Chequers.
Chris, who died three years ago, suffered from diabetes.
