Thinking of saving your own local? It is doable — with energy and enthusiasm. Here are the documents and materials from our campaign, free for you to use.
When the villagers of the Baldons set out to buy the Seven Stars in 2012, there was a great deal to work out — how to form a society, how to run a share offer, how to bring the whole community with us. Over the years a number of community groups around the country have asked how we did it, and we are always happy to help.
Below are the actual documents we used, from our FAQ and pledge guide to the share applicant template and our registered Model Rules. Please borrow, adapt and learn from them. If you'd like to talk it through, email us at info@bncsltd.com — we'd be glad to share our experience.
Every community and every pub is different. If you'd like to talk through your own situation, we're happy to share what we learned.
