5:00 pm: Fireworks' Night
We will be open from 5pm on Saturday 5 November to help you celebrate Bentley’s own Guy Fawkes Night. Bonfire and fireworks will take place on the village playing field.
Those lovely people at the East Anglian Daily Times have been supporting us again – this article in the on-line edition yesterday:
The amount has gone up a bit since yesterday, but we really need more people to chip in!
It would be so sad if we lost both the pub, AND the chance to put a shop back in to the village, for the want of some cash. The average house price in Bentley must be WELL above £200,000; with the statistic that a functioning pub in the village is worth an extra 10% on house prices, that should be an incentive that works for everyone!
Plus, don’t forget, if you’re a tax payer, Her Majesty’s Government will give you 30% of your investment back!
I know when I moved into the village, a big incentive was the attractive pub, and the little shop. Today, I might just drive on through – let’s bring our village back from the brink, and all gain in the process!
