Dear all,

Thank you so much for attending the November 19th meeting and for your interest in the proposed Borgue Community Benefit Society, with the initial project being a community buyout of the Borgue Hotel. It was fantastic to see so many people come together with such enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment to the future of Borgue.

Your presence and support mark an important first step in what we hope will be a transformative journey for Borgue. As outlined, we have formed a small committee and are exploring funding options including grants, a community share offer, and crowdfunding. The idea of a community-owned pub is no longer just a dream—it’s a proven model across Scotland and the rest of the UK, and we believe Borgue has the heart and determination to make it happen.

We’ll be sharing updates soon on how to get involved further, including joining the proposed Community Benefit Society and contributing ideas, skills, or support. For now, thank you again for showing up and helping us get this off the ground.

Warm regards,

Angela Metcalfe (borguecommunitybenefitsociety@gmail.com)
