Newsletter No.9 - April 2012
What lies beyond the opening!
First of all we would like to thank all of you, the supporters of the Coverdale Community Pub, for all of your generous help and support over the last year. We set out a year ago to rescue the Foresters Arms, secure it for us all for the future and create a quintessentially English country pub offering a warm welcome, good food and serving local beer. We think, through everyone’s hard work, that we have achieved what we set out to do. We should all be proud of what we have accomplished, a beautiful country pub, saved by the people, owned by the people and used by the people.
So what’s next you might ask?
The pub is now fully operational with the bar, kitchen, tenant accommodation and three letting rooms complete. In order now to ensure that we have enough funds to operate and maintain the building and the Society we have left the books open for people to continue to become members. We do not believe that this opportunity will remain open for long after which people will then go onto a waiting list of future society members.
