I mentioned something similar in Reading on the original Oak thread - I don't see any reason why not (providing there's enough people with a spare grand kicking around).
I'd definitely think about chipping in if something got going. It feels like a tall order, but if Mersham can do it on a population of 1,000 (it's a village outside Ashford), then there's no reason why we couldn't.
Obviously the KM story doesn't have the full details about how they're doing it (and I suspect has made a mistake when it says the maximum investment is £1,000 - minimum maybe?). Worth speaking to the Mersham people to see how they're avoiding the pitfalls.
The Anti's doing restaurant food now - same guy (Tom) who does the restaurant in Hardys Free House in Greenwich (and used to run the Escape cafe in west Greenwich in the 90s).
[cite]Posted By: T.C.E[/cite]I'm interested especially if there's a trout stream running the garden of The Oak , And of course Mcs is the new Landlord.
i think the previous landlord, ray used to have a golf net up in the garden.
Well i would, as landlord, be keeping that golf net up, as i could do with the practice!! And we could have our 4th CL golf society in the oak garden, closer to the 19th hole eh dudes!

Yes he did.

I know the pub in mersham and it is a lovely little village with a beautiful village pub and nowhere else to drink. Plus all of those who chipped in are regulars anyway and not just once a fortnight during the season regulars. Unless those chipping in are local and can bring family and friends into the pub it is unlikely to work. But good luck anyway if you do go ahead with it and my pre match drink is a given.

i think the idea coudl be filled with problems too many chiefs etc.

Would there be a dress code and lock in's?
You could rename the pub " Oli oaks"
Seriously.
How many people would put up for this ?
Need any carpets...........?
Could be persuaded to invest a fairly large sum.
One or two? or eight or nine?
Would need some convincing to put Olly in charge though ;-) ;-)
