Save a popular pub

See the latest moves in the campaign to keep the Carps in Cranfield. 

Well done Dick Peake and his band of visionaries for having a crack at this. Who knows what the support is but at least the village is being asked. My personal belief is that pubs under local control can really enhance our facilities and our sense of community. But like a lot of people I have too often resorted to a bottle of wine (shared I might add) and a DVD rather than going out for a pint/glass of wine etc with neighbours. That needs to change. 

SAVE THE CARPS

BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT TO SAVE A 

POPULAR LOCAL PUB

BECOME A SHAREHOLDER IN THE 'THE CARPS'

If you want to help the campaign to ‘Save the Carps’,  this is an opportunity to own a part of your local pub. 

The Carpenters Arms public house in Cranfield, is due to be CLOSED on 

June 8, 2012 and sold by brewery owners Charles Wells.  Cranfield may soon be a ‘one pub village’.  The ‘Save the Carps’ campaign has concluded initial talks with Charles Wells  Brewery and has been accepted as a serious contender on behalf of the village to  buy the building, the land and the tenancy. 

How will it work? 

We need to raise around £350,000 to buy the pub and carry out some much needed  renovation. To do this, shares could be offered to local residents, groups & businesses which would attract annual dividend payments. You will own the building and land and as we all know, property prices increase. 

If enough people are prepared to contribute – and it could be as little as £250 each - then we can take this forward… but we need to know by Monday 21 May 2012 so that we can 

prepare a business plan and a reply to the Brewery by Thursday 31 May 2012. 

Please register your interest...’cos we need to know! 

How can you register your support?
