2023 New Years Resolution agreed by a Pembrokeshire community aiming to buy the local closed pub, Crymych Arms
--
The community of Crymych in North Pembrokeshire are setting themselves a goal for 2023, to buy and reopen the Crymych Arms pub in the centre of the village.
A public meeting was held on the 13th of December at the Market Hall in Crymych to set out the proposal. Over 40 people attended the public meeting that was chaired by Martin Lloyd the chairman of Crymych Football Club. Over 40 people attended the meeting on a very cold and icy evening with many more giving their apologies and wishing to know more. A presentation was given by Cris Tomos of PLANED who has supported and handled many community pub and shop purchases. Cris explained that the idea was to have the Football club issue a community share offer to raise the funds to reopen the pub and to also have it as the headquarters for the football club. It was empahsised that the pub would retain its community pub and restaurant status.
Following the presentation a motion to proceed was voted upon and the vast majority wished to move ahead with the new venture. It was explained that there now needs to be means of collating pledges from the general public as to who would be willing to purchase the shares in the venture and also inviting individuals with relevant committee and business skills to join the steering group. The forms and information can be found by visiting www.cpdcrymych.cymru and on the Facebook page
Cris Tomos noted, " The public meeting was very well attended and the forms were handed out asking people to note their pledges to invest and also people willing to be on the steering committee, within one week we have seen £27,600 worth of pledges coming in, it would be great to now see additional commitments in January 2023 to enable the steering group to proceed with the purchasing plan."
