April is CAMRA's Community Pubs Month - celebrate all that is great about local pubs and join us at our public meeting on 14 April at 10.30am in the Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, SE15 to find out about the latest developments.


The Ivy House is the first ever Community Right to Bid pub and has just been bought by the community under the Localism Act. We're pretty excited about that!


Find out all about it on 14 April and check out our website at www.ivyhousenunhead.com.

What an amazing meeting!!!


Just received this email:


Thanks to everyone who came to our public meeting at the Ivy House on Sunday. We were thrilled and a bit taken aback by the turnout and level of support for the pub! We hope you found it interesting and felt inspired to take part. We will put detailed notes of the meeting on our website in due course for anyone who struggled to hear from the back of the packed room. Any questions at all, please get in touch. Many thanks for everyone who has already bought shares. For those of you who are considering investing, all investment details are at http://www.ivyhousenunhead.com

I was talking to some people last night who still didn't know that The Ivy House is now London's first community-owned pub, so I'm posting this purely to put this thread to the top of the page again .... and hopefully encourage more people to buy shares!


Apart from a grant and other funding, they are already nearly halfway to their target of ?100,000 from selling community shares.


Full details about the share issue here (click on "Buy Shares") :


http://ivyhousenunhead.com/


Money raised from the shares will be used for things like essential building maintenance work and renewing the kitchen, plus working capital for the initial months, eg for wages and stock.


The plan is to reopen the pub in August.


There is no tie with any brewery or pubco, and CAMRA have been very supportive, so hopefully there will be an excellent range of draught and bottled ales :)


It's really exciting that this pub with such an interesting history will be open again soon as a real hub for the local community.

Just seen this which went onto the Ivy House's website yesterday.



We have now received advance assurance from HMRC that EIS relief will apply to investments in Ivy House Community Pub Limited. Shareholders will be eligible for income tax relief at 30% of the value of the shares they buy. Full details will be sent out through our mailing list in due course. In the interim, find our more at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/eis.



Hooray!

More info from The Ivy House!


Dear All


Here are some updates in relation to the pub:


EIS Relief


We have just received advance assurance from HMRC that Enterprise Investment Scheme ("EIS") relief will apply to investments in Ivy House Community Pub Limited. Shareholders will be eligible for income tax relief at 30% of the value of their shares bought in the pub. You can find out more about the scheme here: www.hmrc.gov.uk/eis.


When the pub has been trading for 4 months, we will contact HMRC and provide them with a list of our shareholders. HMRC will then require us to prepare some paperwork before shareholders claim their EIS relief.


Share issue - we're half way there!


We've now achieved ?52,600 in pledges, which is fantastic. Thanks to all who have bought shares to date. Let's keep going. If you haven't bought your shares yet, there is still some time. If you have any questions, you can contact us through our website.


Help us spread the word


If you use social media, please retweet and repost all the latest updates from the Ivy House to help us spread the news that the pub is coming back. Tell your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.


We have a a couple more ideas for events to be held before the end of May when the share issue closes so we hope to see you soon.


We will shortly be sending another mailing detailing everything that was discussed at last Sunday's meeting.


Any questions, please ask!


Thanks.


The Ivy House team

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
