Quinno's 2016 challenge

[Quinno]

Let me just recap on this challenge, I presume its 250 new pubs on the list each with a different name, so if for example you visit two new Cricketers this year, only one of them will count for the challenge purposes. Have I got that right?

Yup

[Mobyduck]

Yup

6 so far then.

[Quinno]

Hmmm just added some reviews that tickle the challenge names and they aren't being picked up...DAVE!

[Dave M]

Sorry I didn't clarify that creating 'visits' from reviews was a one time process. From now on they are detached separate things, so to record visits you need to press the visited button and add a date if you want it picked up for the 2016 challenge.

ah, I see, ta.

10 ticks in and around Romsey last Sunday takes me up to 17. Need 21 a month...

[ETA]

A couple more anomalies:

The Grove Arms Inn isn't picked up by Grove

The Ring of Bells by Ring O' Bells

and in the 'ever' column, it doesn't pick up closed pubs (did someone already mention that?)

One for Dave

I've been busy investigating the listed 'Lounge' places as I suspected a fair chunk of them were not pubs or bars (or even open) and I was right!

Some names have changed but the list doesn't seem to want to refresh and drop them - can you take a look? It does take the closed ones out though.

One of the Loungers chain has snuck on there: Lounge (I think Dave you said you'd knock those off the original list?)

[Dave M]

I suspect most of the Lounges on the list are actually unimaginatively named hotel lounge bars. The only one of the Loungers chain should be the original one in Bedminster.

I need to manually drop things from the list as we wanted a fixed point of reference in case stuff changed during the year after you had visited if that makes sense. I will refresh the Lounge list for you at point.

I stand by my original comment regarding the Lounge in Bedminster though.

OK cool - and yes I'm fine with Lounge in Bedminster (did it back in day anyway so not eligible!)

I'll probably work my way through one or two other names that may well have flagged some false positives so don't be surprised to see some data changes. I don't want to schlep out to a far-flung corner of Britain only to find a strip club or nightclub (as happened in Southsea on Saturday), so doing my research now!
