Pubgoers across Gedling borough are going crazy for a Wetherspoons game which allows players to have drinks sent to them from people around the world.
The nationwide pub chain has three locations in Gedling borough, The Free Man in Carlton, The Ernehale in Arnold and The Woodthorpe Top in Mapperley.
The idea is simple: people post a picture of themselves and their table number on the Facebook and wait for fellow group members to send them stuff – anything at all.
Victoria Woolley and her friends played the game during a visit to the Woodthorpe Top.
She posted: “Out with the girls enjoying the last day of the weekend before we’re back to work. We would love either shots, jugs or fruit gins with lemonade. Thanks in advance!”
During their visit, a number of fellow members sent over shots for the girls.
Troy Richard also took his friend to the venue to take part in the game earlier this month.
Brett Hill took part in the game for the first time at The Ernehale in Arnold. His tipple of choice was a Guinness and he was soon being sent pints from people across the UK.
Charitable folk quickly sent drinks to the St Mary’s Pre-School team in Arnold who were in their local Wetherspoons venue at the end of their their last day before being made redundant.
The team were sent pitchers, shots and other drinks by group members to help them drown their sorrows.
Andy Foster and pal Mark played the game at the Free Man in Carlton. They enjoyed Guinness, Corona and lager shandy for the driver from members of the group.
The game was launched by Chris Illman and has exploded in popularity, with its public Facebook group attracting over 230,000 members.
The group is also now using the pub app to help feed the homeless.
Mr Illman has started travelling across the country and asking people to send him food in Wetherspoons, which is then promptly delivered to the homeless.
He said: “We have had some groups sent nearly £200 of food and drinks from complete strangers.
“Once a month we pick a city to go and feed the homeless using the game.
“At the last feed we were sent a staggering £730 worth of food, snacks and drinks including an amazing 103 pizzas.”
