Well the sun nearly shined , and it didn’t rain , so our fantastic volunteers , not only from the village , but from UK power networks were able to work their magic today on our community pub.

They cut back the ivy, dug out lots of roots, emptied the garages, swept and washed the bar , kitchen and other areas . The floors inside are a different colour now and it looks so much better , many hands do make light work.

The volunteers from UK power networks did a brilliant job removing the old paint from some of the windows , not a five minute job as you might imagine, I think their arms certainly had a good work out today and what a delightful group of people they were to work with. Thank you Diane and your team.
Here’s some pictures from today.

We are close now to launching our share prospectus .

The village church bells rang out and we duly crossed the fields to the beacon which was lit as dusk was forming.

The Thatchers are in repairing some of the damage to make the pub water tight.

The village of Framsden now own a pub . We have purchased the 300 year old listed pub, which has been closed for seven years , with the help of a grant from the Government's Community Ownership Fund.

The work now begins and we have already had a hard working village tidy , as the photographs show , with many more days planned, including this Sunday 7th April from 9:30 .

Would be great to see as many people as possible as many hands make light work, even if you are unable to help just pop down to say hello.
