May Project Update

Thank you to all the hard-working volunteers who have joined Ian and Clive in the many tasks we had ahead of contractors moving in to start the refurbishment.  There were so many people willing to give time and it has been brilliant to see that community spirit alive and well in our lovely village.

So what have we been up to? Mainly removing and cleaning all the interior surfaces inside the pub to be ready for decorating, dismantling cabinets, removing very old glue and wallpaper, clearing the garden area – all the glamorous jobs!  

Some snaps below show the huge efforts to strip the wall by the entrance, the uncovering of graffiti and the generations of wallpaper we have uncovered!

Those walking past the pub will be observing that work has started on the exterior; the doorway improvements are underway, samples are being taken from the walls to check for issues and you can see the scaffolding is up for use in weeks to come.

We are still seeking volunteers to help as we have lots to do to prepare the site for future building works. If you are interested please contact Ian Wren on 07980 401311 asap.

There are exciting times ahead for Roxwell – we will be issuing share certificates, there is potential celebrations now the pub is in the hands of the community and our first shareholders members meeting (now scheduled for 13th June) – if you are a shareholder and haven’t had an email about this, do contact membership@savethechequersroxwell.co.uk and we can update you.

So do watch this space and join the Facebook Group “Save The Chequers (Roxwell)” or our mailing list – just hit the contact us button at the top of the page.
