SSAGO Goes to 'Spoons

Home

Welcome to SSAGO Goes to Spoons!

What? SSAGO Goes to Spoons is a nationwide social event where SSAGO...goes to Spoons! But here's the catch, you don't get to decide what you want to eat or drink...somebody else does! Using the Wetherspoons app and the SSAGO website, you select items for a pre determined SSAGO member who is somewhere across the UK. Then in return you get something back, which somebody else has chosen for you! Share your food and drink on Facebook, have a jolly good time and eat lots of peas!

When? Thursday 5th March 2020, 7pm

Where? A Wetherspoons pub anywhere in the country!

Who? SSAGO members - but who sends you food or drink? Nobody knows!

Cost? However much you'd like to spend on your new friend (we suggest up to £7). You can also buy a badge for £2!

How? Head to your selected Wetherspoons and update your table number on the Secret Santa page (which will appear on this website closer to the day). Download the Wetherspoon App and select the pub where your friend is at. Enter their table number which you should also see on the Secret Santa page once they've arrived. Order them what they wanted (or something fun!). Meanwhile patiently wait for your food or drink and send clues to each other to work out who ordered what!

**Badge Update 15/10/2020** Well simple me had planned to give them to Club Reps at /Sheffield Ball, but that became Survival Rally and then that became Build-A-Rally and then I realised it wasn't gunna happen. So here we are 7 months later and as much as I love you guys I don't plan on posting out almost 200 individual badges to everybody. So now that some of you are back at Uni I'm looking for a Club Representative or Committee member for me to post your clubs badges to. Then the clubs can decide the best way to distribute the badges. Now I know that some of you have graduated and will never see your club again, some of you are Indie, some of you are in Ireland etc etc. If you are 100% sure that you can't get your badge from a club Rep at any point in the future I will post your badge to you individually. Please ONLY fill in the form if you're representing a club or can't get your badge for any other reason! Please fill in the form, it's all GDPR secure don't worry, with who you are, your address, the club you are taking the badges for, or the reason why I can't send your badge to your club rep. You've got till Thursday 29th October to let me know before I start pestering! Contact me for a copy of the form - don't want to put the form live on the internet!

Booking closes at 5pm Tuesday 3rd March!

Happy Staff = Happy SSAGO

Everybody wants to have a good time and we don't want to cause any nuisance to the hard working staff. Every Wetherspoons is different: some will love what we're doing, some will go along with it and some might not be too happy. A lot of the time the staff get confused when they bring items to your table and you don't know what you're expecting. Politey explaining to the staff about what's going on might get them to understand. We have had cases where they have refused to take more app orders - to prevent this: be nice to them and try not to order too much silly stuff that wastes their time.

Think Waste

If you’ve played before you may have received a bowl of peas or other similar funny item, after all it’s part of the fun! What is sad is that sometimes food that is bought as a joke doesn’t get eaten, leaving a lot of wasted food behind. Not everybody is privileged enough to be able to afford to waste food so please don't be too silly. On the event shop you can find the option to donate £1 to the Trussel Trust Food Bank charity which help to combat food poverty in the UK. Also bring a Tuperware if you want to save any left overs and freeze them or have them for breakfast the next day!
