Nestling in the lovely Wiltshire Pewsey Downs is the The Barge Inn Honey Street.
An internationally reknowned historic canalside public house and camping site.it is called the 'official site for the discerning Crop Circle Investigator'.
The hamlet that is called Honey Street is a product of the Kennet and Avon Canal. The pub has been and is an intregal part of the community whether locals, canal communities or the international crop circle communities.

 

The pub is up for sale and like many pubs in the Unitied Kingdom is at risk of closure. The Barge Inn Community Project is all about saving, retaining and developing the Barge Inn as a community enterprise.

Individuals and organisations can each buy up to £20,000 of shares. The minimum investment is £20, which will buy one share. Every investor has to become a member of the new managing organisation (there are few restrictions on who can join) and the organisation will be run on a one-member, one-vote basis.

On receipt of your cheque, paypal payment  and request for shares, your money will be placed in a deposit account and a receipt sent to you. At the appropriate time PACT on behalf of the project  will invest the money directly in the Barge Inn Community Project  it will not be spent on anything else without your permission. The constitution of the new Barge Inn Community Project  and organisation will be formed at a special general meeting should the required funds be raised. If for some reason the project does not proceed, you will be offered your money back in full no later than December 2009

What this all about
 

In September 2008 a community working group was formed to consider the development of a range of social and community business enterprises centred around the opportunity of the purchase of the lease of the Barge Inn Honey Street Nr Pewsey Wiltshire

 

This followed a well attended public meeting when it was agreed to progress the idea of forming a social enterprise that could own and manage the lease of the public house as well as develop other local initiatives on the adjoining land.

 

Since that date the steering group has been active in testing the feasibility of the idea.  A Feasibility Study has been produced and a way forward agreed.

 

Advise and administration is being undertaken by The Pewsey Area Community Trust  (PACT)who are the community owned Development Trust for the area. Eventually - subject to sufficent funding being raised ( in excess of £190,000)and the sale negotiated-  the project will form its own legal and appropriate social enterprise organisation.
