The group sipped drinks including Enville White, Enville bitter, Holden's Golden Glow and Wye Valley HPA when they called in at the Hinksford Arms in Swindon.

Group co-founder Peter Hill, 67, from West Bromwich, says: "It went great. We had an amazing day. The landlady used to keep the Gospel Oak in Tipton and has moved to Swindon. I her told we were coming to visit.

"There was 16 of us and she laid on some sandwiches. We stayed there all Friday afternoon and took a few photos.

"We hired two eight-seater taxi minibuses to get there. Then ended the day at the Rising Sun in Tipton."

The group's pub crawls have so far raised more than £30,000 for charities including Midlands Air Ambulance.
