The previous Old Forge community buyout threads have both been archived.

So here's a new one to let anyone who might be interested know that they've finally got around to launching their crowdfunding effort:

I was semi-seriously trying to persuade my other half to sell up and buy the place. I can't believe it's not been sold to an individual yet, it's such a unique proposition and there are plenty of folk who could afford to buy it outright, give up work and earn an income to boot.

In reply to Siward:

I suspect that anyone who imagined buying and running the place would involve anything remotely like giving up work (especially one who is not already a publican and restaurateur) would be in for quite a shock.  The main worry in the community was that it might have been bought by someone with very deep pockets who had no intention of keeping it open, and subsequently turned into a holiday home.

The crowdfunder has been open for just over 2 hours now (with 30 days to go), and they're already a bit over half way to their target.

I've just bought the most expensive T shirt in my life. I look forward to visiting.
