The Black Cap Foundation continues pressing the case to re-open The Black Cap for the LGBT+ Community, and local newspapers have stayed interested with coverage by Camden New Journal and Morning Advertiser and a snippet in the Ham and High in their closed pubs series in the last three weeks. The articles set out well the position of Campaigners, and are written in a confident tone, and we even have a perfect mystery Heritage lister awaiting sharp-witted readers to solve. Over to you on that! Campaigners' new plan to save ‘vital’ gay pub - 14th Feb 2017 Campaign group The Black Cap Foundation will issue a revised business plan to reopen the iconic gay pub the Black Cap in Camden. http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Legal/Property-law/Campaigners-new-plan-to-save-Camden-gay-pub Mystery Black Cap pub admirer applies for building to be listed - 8th Feb 2017 http://camdennewjournal.com/article/mystery-black-cap-pub-admirer-applies-for-building-to-be-listed?sp=1&sq=Black%2520Cap%2520Pub Fresh bid to re-open famous Black Cap bar is unveiled - 20th Jan 2017 http://camdennewjournal.com/article/fresh-bid-to-re-open-famous-black-cap-bar-is-unveiled?sp=1&sq=Black%2520Cap%2520Pub Michelle Collins hits the mark perfectly with her quote “It was always busy and I just don’t understand how a pub company couldn’t simply keep it open and make money from it. It strikes me that they perhaps do not realise they are just guardians of a place for a short time. That it’s not theirs to close.” The Business Plan mentioned should be available by Monday, we are finalising the forecasts at the moment. We have a further meeting with the Council and Mr Cox planned for 6th March, and we'll give another update shortly after. And thank you for all you do. Your support in such big numbers give us a huge voice to speak with, and Alex, Aoife, Ben, Nigel, Zack and I, and our numerous Saturday Vigilers (a few pictured along with Joiners Arms folk who came along for last Saturday's Valentines Vigil). We really couldn't do this without knowing you are there. :-) Chris Clark Program Director Black Cap Foundation PS: See the Facebook Groups Page for lots more colourful photos of the event: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareblackcap/
