Now that the evenings are longer and the temperatures are nudging up, it’s great to see the pub garden begin to fill again on the warmer days. We’re fortunate to have such a large and welcoming outdoor space and the tables that you kindly sponsored last year will soon be full, especially now that we have a run of bank holiday weekends coming up, starting with the Easter break.
Above: Looking forward to the spring with a host of activities and the garden back in action.
There’s an important announcement about the AGM date below, but first can I say just how grateful we are for your international investment that has brought the pub to where it is today. With over 1000 investors from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the United States, we have a truly global family, which is hugely appreciated by our community.
Above: Geographical Locations of Shareholders
Figures are approximate. Total number of shareholders worldwide (Share Offer 1 and Share Offer 2 combined): 1010, number of shareholders registered at addresses in Stonesfield: 400
To date you have raised nearly £62,000 in share purchases for our second share offer. Thank you so much, it’s a wonderful total. We’re leaving the share offer open in case you have friends or relatives that would appreciate the gift of share ownership in our small but remarkable English Cotswold village pub.
Do you own a B&B?
If any members in and around Stonesfield own any bookable accommodation, please do forward the relevant details as we are compiling a list of places for members to stay should they wish to visit the White Horse and the surrounding area.
Notice of Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting of the Stonesfield Community Pub Ltd will be held at 5pm at Stonesfield Village Hall on Sunday 18 May. This will be the first AGM to be held since the pub fully reopened last year and we’re looking forward to reporting on progress and future plans, plus answering any questions you may have for us to the best of our abilities.
We apologise to our non-local members that we won’t be able to livestream the AGM this year, but please do send any questions in advance to me at steve@backthewhitehorse.com for for consideration. Knowing the type of enquiries in advance helps us to prepare more informative answers for you. The minutes will be circulated to members after the meeting.
With such large international support there is a slight risk that we might not reach the minimum member attendance of 10%, so we look forward again to the large numbers that have attended the meeting in recent years.
As ever, we thank you again for your support, and raise a glass to enjoying long spring and summer evenings together at our pub.
All best wishes,
Steve Callaghan
Chairman
