​

25th June 2018

We have now agreed with the owner a process for gaining access to The Three Tuns. This will enable us to undertake a survey to determine the cost of reopening the pub. The results of the survey will provide the information we need to be able to proceed with the purchase.

​

21st April 2018

The owner has not accepted the community’s offer to buy the pub. Under ACV legislation she is now able to sell it as a pub on the open market. The owner has denied us access to undertake surveys, without which we would not be able to consider raising our bid. Nonetheless, our offer remains on the table.

​

31st January 2018 

Having raised over £200,000 from individual pledges and £100,000 in grants and loans from the Plunkett Foundation, Guilden Morden Community Pub Limited submitted a bid for £300,000 subject to surveys prior to the moratorium coming to an end. We have proved that the Three Tuns has a viable future as a pub. 

​

14 January 2018

Thank you to the 220 people who have pledged to save The Three Tuns. We will now be able to submit our bid later this month.  Saving The Three Tuns is a community effort.  A quarter of households in Guilden Morden have pledged to invest, with individual commitments ranging from £250 to £10,000. 

 

2 December 2017

We had a very successful stall at St Mary's Christmas Fayre on Saturday 2 December with special beers for sale.

​

7 November 2017

The Village Meeting was a success - standing room only.  The full deck of presentation slides is available here.

​

Another meeting will be held on Tuesday 7 November in the Chapel Schoolroom at 7.30pm your chance to ask questions plus hear about other community pubs and their successes.

 

4 October 2017 

The Open Meeting held on 4 October attracted over 60 visitors. The community met members of the Three Tuns Community Group and were able to share their views and ask questions as well as pledge support - both investment and practical help . 

​

See above for how to pledge YOUR support.

​

20 August 2017

The owner of The Three Tuns finally notified South Cambridgeshire District Council

of her 'intention to sell' the pub. Under legislation governing Assets of Community

Value there is a six-month moratorium until February 2018 during which the owner

is not allowed to sell to anyone other than the local community.

​

The Three Tuns Community Group  set up a

Community Benefit Society - Guilden Morden Community Pub Ltd. We will be seeking

financial pledges from investors plus views from everyone in the village via a survey in The Gamut and there will be an Open Meeting on 4 October, 4pm to 9pm 

at the Congregational Chapel School Room so come along share your views and

ask questions.

30th January 2017

Since our update in November, we’ve broadened the membership of the

Three Tuns Community Group (TTCG) from 4 to 10 people to reflect a wider and younger section of the village with more diverse professional skills and experience. We especially welcome two members who moved into the

village with their families after the pub closed but nevertheless appreciate the

enormous community benefit reopening The Three Tuns would bring.

The pub is our village’s only Asset of Community Value (or ACV) and its demise

in the words of the Planning Inspectorate would be

‘an unacceptable loss of a valuable community facility’.
