Publican and Prankster Geoff Atkinson

Publican and prankster Geoff Atkinson is not the kind to throw the towel in when it comes to a bet. In fact, the landlord of the Fleece Inn at Holme is more likely to wear one! Geoff s latest stunt to raise money for the RNLI was to wear the specially-made suit of bar towels to the Houses of Parliament and hand a pint of bitter to his local MP Graham Riddick. All the cash he and his generous regulars raise in sponsorship goes towards the City of Sheffield lifeboat appeal and the Tetley brewery is sponsoring a host of events at the pub.
