Crymych Arms Community Pub gains momentum as funds exceed £201,200
THE EAGERLY anticipated next public meeting of the Crymych Arms community pub is set to take place on Wednesday evening, the 14th of June at 7pm, at Crymych Market Hall. With an impressive £201,200 in funds raised, the dedicated volunteers behind the initiative are keen to update attendees on the latest developments. This community-led endeavour aims to transform the pub into a local HubClubPub, serving as both a traditional rural establishment and the clubhouse for Crymych Football Club.
During the gathering, attendees will receive exciting news that the community share offer has recently surpassed the remarkable milestone of £200,000. Moreover, detailed information will be shared regarding the submitted grants that are integral to achieving the ultimate objective of acquiring the pub by August and reopening it as a vibrant community asset.
Cris Tomos, one of the key organisers, expressed his optimism, stating, “We expect to hear about the grant applications by the end of June. It is truly remarkable to witness the overwhelming support of the community, as our initial target of raising £175,000 in community shares has been significantly surpassed.” Tomos further added, “The unity and enthusiasm demonstrated by the community is heartening, and we eagerly await the reopening of the pub as a valuable community asset.”
Significantly, the community project remains open to new shareholders until the outcome of the grant application is revealed at the end of June. For comprehensive information, interested individuals can visit the project’s website at www.cpdcrymych.cymru. The Crymych Arms ceased operations in September 2021 when the previous owners retired and placed the establishment on the market. Once successfully acquired, the pub will assume its new role as a vibrant community hub, promoting local activities and fostering a sense of togetherness.
The forthcoming public meeting serves as an exciting milestone in the Crymych Arms’ journey towards rejuvenation. With funds exceeding expectations and widespread community support, the realisation of this remarkable community project draws nearer.
