1. Buy a share in our Pub! The community share window was launched at a meeting at the Village Hall on 20th June. The offer is now open and it is your chance to buy shares to help fund the cost of equipping and refurbishing the pub. If you want a copy of the prospectus and presentation please email: info@framsdengreyhound.co.uk.

2. The Pub: This is a month of surveys and investigations. We are awaiting a Bat survey, which has been arranged for the end of the month. Our asbestos survey tells us there is no asbestos in the building. The Heritage Architect and Structural Engineer are completing their surveys and drawings.

3.Building work continues: The broken window glass has now been replaced and the
upstairs dormers are in the process of being repaired. The facias on gable ends have been repaired. The builders have started work on the barn walls and roof to make them weatherproof and secure so we can start to use them. Elsewhere the drying out continues and we are nearing the point when we can start replastering.

4. The Toilets: are having new sanitary wear and the broken tiles are being replaced - we found lots of matching ones in the barn.

5. Furniture and Equipment: We have been offered two catering gas ranges from the
brother of a local resident which we are hoping to collect later this month. The pub kitchen is being designed by Anglian Catering and we are consulting with a bar design expert on the equipping of the bar and cellar. The Shed at Debenham have given us four restored tall bar stools - thank you. We still have five small stools for repainting and upholstering, do let us know if you can or would like to help. Paint them any colour and any design, your choice. Send us an email and we’ll deliver locally. Email. info@framsdengreyhound.co.uk

6. Pop Up Pub!: Our first pop up event will be on Saturday 3rd August from 6-9pm. This will be an outdoor event at the pub, with local beers, wines, soft drinks and live music. Do come along, enjoy some pleasant company and join in our first event. We are hoping to have wi-fi for cards but just in case please bring cash!
