JanetAnne Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I too will be a shareholder. Got a birthday coming up and so instead of the usual 'you never know what you want so here's more socks' I have suggested the locks. I shall hang my share certificate on the wall next to my Lairdship certificate and my cycling proficiency test certificate! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Well, That's certainly a first for me. I am now officially a share holder (x2) of the Locks Inn. Not really bothered if I never see my initial share purchase ever again, at least I know I will have tried to assist I usually only get to visit the place once a year, maybe twice at the most. I shall certainly look forward to visiting in the future with guest crew onboard taking them for a drink in 'My Pub' Wonder if I will get that warm fuzzy feeling that has been previously mentioned? (Only if my zip get stuck ) Now to tell MrsG - before I forget? Griff 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Just had an update from Graham, the chair of the project.. I'm sure they won't mind me sharing.. But good news and sounds like it's well on the way to being a little bit more secured.. but I guess time is running out so don't delay if you want to be involved. During the first week of our share issue we have had over 200 people sign up as shareholders/members and have raised £163,000 in share capital. If we carry on like this we will reach our target in just four weeks and have to close the share issue early. Make sure you don't miss out on becoming a “founder member” of The Locks Inn Community Pub! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Had an email from them stating that they had broken the 500 mark for shareholders. Still need more yet though. They have a slogan which is a gudden imho ''One pub, five hundred careful owners' Griff 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'm glad to hear that the share offer is going well. I hope t continues, sometimes these things can slow down very rapidly after the initial uptake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I can’t help wondering how The Wherry is doing. They were doing brilliantly as a pub attracting the locals last time we were there (very friendly locals too), so I hope their business won’t have suffered. Hopefully there’s enough business for both to flourish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a 'Hippersons 30' craft built by Hippersons in Beccles in the early 60's. The name TWIG came from the owner who ran ............

BroadAmbition Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Update as per below:- ----------------------------------------------- LOCKS INN UPDATE 8TH JULY 2021 It's been a while since our last update as we have been busy running the pub. It's been an amazing first eight weeks! PUB HOURS: Our opening hours have been extended as follows: Monday 11am-8pm Tuesday 11am-8pm Wednesday 11am-10pm Thursday 11am-10pm Friday 11am-10pm Saturday 11am-10pm Sunday 11am-8pm KITCHEN HOURS: Our kitchen is now fully refurbished and open! The menu will be expanded over the coming weeks as the kitchen team find their feet. The kitchen hours will also extend in due course but for now they are: Monday 12-2.30pm Tuesday 12-2.30pm Wednesday 12-2.30pm and 5-8pm Thursday 12-2.30pm and 5-8pm Friday 12-2.30pm and 5-8pm Saturday 12-2.30pm and 5-8pm Sunday 12-5pm NB: Bookings are only taken for large groups. VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES We have a volunteering group on Facebook and have started to use this to get small groups in to help as mini-work parties. To request to join the group please visit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3805956929436494 The operation of the pub will provide significant employment opportunities but we are already using volunteers to support these staff for the intense peaks in demand that can occur at The Locks Inn. We intend to run a training session for people who are willing to help out during these peaks to help support the smooth operation of the pub. If you would like to occasionally help out in this way, please make sure you join the Facebook group above so you see details of the training session and get notifications when help is needed. As a thank you, we also intend to have social events for volunteers! REFUSE BINS Bin bags are currently being taken to the end of the track by our managers inside their car which is not ideal! Do we have a volunteer who could do this twice a week if we provide a trailer at the pub for the sacks to go in? A vehicle with a tow bar would be needed. BUILDING QUOTES REQUIRED We have made a lot of improvements to the fabric of the building but there is still much to do! There are three urgent projects that you may be able help with: Replacement LPG boilers x2 and associated work Re-roofing the single story extension and repairs in the vicinity of the main chimney stack to stop water ingress Replacing the door/window unit on the left-hand side of the main bar and replacing the access ramp leading up to it. If you can help with these, or know someone who can help, please contact Simon Squibb at simon_squibb@hotmail.com We are looking for commercial quotes, friendly quotes and tradespeople who have the capacity to do the jobs! SHARE CERTIFICATES These are available for collection at the pub - just ask one of the team. They are not proof of ownership and as such are primarily a souvenir and have been well received by many hundreds of people who have already collected theirs. MERCHANDISE If you have ordered merchandise please can you collect your items from the pub in the next four weeks otherwise they they may go on general sale with the new price. If you have any queries about your order please contact Christine on c.pinsent@gmail.com We have been overwhelmed by the response to this offer! LIVE MUSIC The Locks Inn has a long history of live music and this has already re-started. It is scheduled every Sunday afternoon from around 2pm and will be in the pub garden when the weather allows. There are also regular Thursday evening “sessions” starting at 8pm as follows: 1st Thursday of the month – Open acoustic session 2nd Thursday of the month – Irish session 3rd Thursday of the month – Tales'n'Ales – story telling 4th Thursday of the month – Traditional music & song Informal music is also planned for Wednesday evenings and this will start with jazz from "The Sole Bay Five” at 7.30pm on 14 July. Events prior to 19 July are subject to Covid restrictions. If the weather is poor the events may be indoors and it is possible that entry could be restricted to comply with the restrictions.
