SHARES at a glance

You are investing in Westhall Community Pub Limited (‘WCP’) through the purchase of Community Shares.
WCP, a Community Benefit Society, has been established to purchase (completed in 2022) and keep open The Racehorse Inn (Westhall) for the benefit of the community.
Shares issued are Community Shares and are interest-bearing and withdrawable under certain conditions.
Shares will have a nominal value of £25 each and the minimum investment is 1 share (£25) with a maximum of 800 shares (£20,000).
Shares can be purchased by individuals, companies and other corporate organisations.
Membership will be one member, one vote – regardless of amount invested and buying a share makes you a member of the Society and gives you the right to vote at the AGM on important decisions regarding the pub.
Projected return: Annual interest payments – these are made at the discretion of the management committee and Government legislation states interest cannot exceed the higher of 5% or 2% above the Bank of England Base Rate.
