This could be the first step. Some of you may know that the Fleur de Lys is for sale. Others of you may also know that over four years ago it was registered with SODC who are the administrators of Assets of Community Value (ACV`s) by a group of local customers who live in the village.
What this means is that if it is ever put on the market (as it is now), their is a 6 month moratorium on the sale during which members of the local community can assemble a consortium to buy and run it as a community pub.
In order to evaluate whether there is sufficient support to take this forward as a serious proposition there will be an initial meeting of interested parties at the Village Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday 6th July. Anyone who is interested will be welcome to come along to find out more and decide for themselves.
