Annual General Meeting – 2026

Monday 23 November 2026, 6.30pm
Mechanics Institute, Kirkby Malzeard

It’s that time of year again and plans are well advanced for our next AGM on November 23. This is your opportunity to find out where we are with the campaign and ask any questions.

This includes proposals to revise and update our Business Plan, as well as plans for the next Henry Jenkins Festival following the great success of the first HJ festival in August. It’s also a chance to get together with friends…and to tempt you, we’re offering a free pint of real ale or a glass of wine to everyone!

As before, a light buffet supper will be provided by Tim the butcher (including veggie option).

We’re pleased to confirm that Greg Mulholland, Campaign for Pubs Campaign Director, will be among speakers (other poss speakers TBC).

Greg, who’s been a stalwart supporter of our campaign, founded the All Party Save the Pub group in Parliament and pushed for inclusion of pubs in national planning guidelines.

He will be able to bring us up-to-date on the latest Government plans to empower community groups like ours – plans that are good as far as they go, but still fall short of what’s needed to stop viable pubs being asset-stripped by developers.
Thank you to all our members for your continuing support.

As always, drop us a line if you have any questions:
