Hi to all our lovely, loyal and patient customers! After a waste of seven months we have decided to no longer pursue the RAFA club. WE could not reach an agreement with the owners with reference to the conditions of the lease. You may have noticed that the building is in a poor state of repair. That was going to be down to us to put right. It is not uncommon in a commercial lease that the tenant keeps the building and surrounds insured and in good condition. However, it has to be a workable condition in the first place. There are holes in the roof, rot in the joists and a lot of damp.. There have been repairs done by previous members and friends which have only exacerbated existing problems. We have spent money on solicitors, surveyors and more..... but have decided that it can only get worse as we uncover more problems. The RAFA head office refused to take any responsibility for the building, wouldn't bring it up to watertight and secure, so we have told them that we will have to pull out.
We look forward to welcoming you soon................somewhere!

Just to let you know.......something is finally happening with the lease! Paper is moving around in the solicitors office, so hopefully we can get something to sign early next week? Keep watching!!!!

Well, the wine tasting went very well yesterday afternoon. We have some old favourites and some very interesting new little numbers for you all to try! A very gorgeous one that stood out was a Sunburnt Chardonnay from Oz! It was all helped down with some lovely cheeses, olives and jamon that we sampled.... All in the name of research darlings!
