Stockland Community Pub

Our big news- the King's Arms is now under COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP! That's right- keys were handed over last week. You can see pictures of our amazingly dedicated (and very happy) committee right here: scpl.org.uk/scpl-announcem…

We are so looking forward to sharing pictures of the restoration and to welcoming you all when we are able to reopen. There's a long road ahead but we're so pleased to be taking this journey :)

@tashgeo Thank you! We're so delighted.

Phew! After some pretty frustrating IT issues we're back #DevonHour with the big announcement... drum roll please...

In fact, our news is so amazing and we are so keen to share it that we're a day early for you @Devon_Hour !! You'll never guess ;) See you tomorrow team!

Not a flake here in the @BlackdownsAONB but we are living in hope... there's just nothing quite like the feeling when the snow first falls.

Team #DevonHour are you there? We've been away for a bit while things were rather hush hush BUT we have some STONKINGLY BRILLIANT NEWS.....

@Devon_Hour We're here but late! Survey took place yesterday on the King's Arms in Stockland and we're moving forward with the purchase- can't wait to get this great Devon pub back to its best

Seems rather quiet today... Where is everyone? 🧐 #devonhour

Also, if you're looking for an update on what's going on with the pub purchase, we have a STRUCTURAL SURVEY taking place tomorrow so things are happening!

Re: LRT: On Tuesday 7th August, BBC Radio Devon had a discussion on pub closures as part of their early morning show. The feature included a live interview with Damian Clay from the SCPL Management Committee, speaking outside the Kings Arms...

📻 LISTEN: Hear members of @StocklandComPub Management Committee talking to @BBCDevon on @CAMRA_Official pub closures and how their #CommunityPub will benefit the community (starts at 1:08:45) bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06…

Apparently it's #InternationalBeerDay. Seems like a good enough reason to buy a share in a #villagepub such as @StocklandComPub. Their #commshares offer is still OPEN. So for the ££ of a large round you can help secure their future! Cheers! #MorethanaPub bit.ly/2AB5yMS

@beerjustice @RogerProtzBeer @PlunkettFoundat @plunkett_saraht @PubistheHub_uk @mhclg @CAMRA_Official Thank you so much Steve. We are so pleased and can't wait for you to visit after the grand reopening.

@RogerProtzBeer @PlunkettFoundat @plunkett_saraht @PubistheHub_uk @mhclg @CAMRA_Official I was alerted to this community fundraiser today @stocklandcompub This pub was a cracker back in the day, I look forward to toasting its renaissance sometime in the foreseeable future.

And an enormous thank you to all of our 200+ investors. If you'd like to be one of them, the Share Offer is now open until September so you've got a bit more time to be part of this super local pub's resurrection

Huge thank you to @PlunkettFoundat for their ongoing support and for helping us become #MoreThanAPub and of course @cosmichelenv for her enthusiasm and guidance

In short- YOU DID IT! We have now raised over our £260,000 target and are at work to buy the King's Arms. It's been a long road and there's a way to go, but we are over the moon that the #communitypub dream is coming to Stockland

We've shared some of our news on our Facebook page, but we have some astounding news for all of you tweeps!

Phew, what a couple of weeks while our media person has been away on holiday then dogged by disaster as a fallen tree took out the internet in this pocket of Stockland!

@cosmichelenv That's certainly the plan @AngliaPress ! The very best of local ingredients and breweries, making our community pub a destination that will showcase what makes East Devon so very special

Decent #localpub, and #communityhub is the aspiration :-) #peoplepower And let's hope they stock from local breweries as well - keeping the money local :-) #socialenterprise #morethanapub @StocklandComPub twitter.com/AngliaPress/st…
