We’re looking forward to being back in action in the coming weeks.
We are no longer affiliated with Newport County Trust but we are still a pub for the fans by the fans.
We will be Newport’s first not for profit pub. Run by eight fans. Any profit made in year one will go back into making the pub better for the second year and so on.
The reception so far has been good - we will need your support to make it work.
See you soon

Thought the name might be trademarked?

So nothing going to the Club or trust then

Good luck to them I say. Hell of a commitment for 8 fans to take on though. Hope they have some experience. Would like to see some club affiliation though.

No affiliation to the club...... so using the name only to get people through the door.

Apparently the club will be putting out a statement this week regarding this, but from past experience I won't hold my breath.

I think that the not for profit basis makes a lot of sense, it's difficult to start a pub business, and make a profit. It's taken County a long time to be making a profit, albeit small, having had such a difficult starting point.
County ran the King and the Ivy Bush without making much of a profit, due to the proximity of rival pubs.

Weird Dad, near the ground, is a similar not for profit business. Hopefully Baramber will also be a success story, I wish them all the very best.

Look forward to using it on match-days.

So it's a not-for-profit business, with any profits reinvested in the premises.

Not sure what qualifies as a 'not for profit' business venture. It surely can't be just a phrase which can be used without having some legal definition.

Welsh Water are a not for profit business, IE they don't have shareholders expecting a dividend payment. Doesn't stop them employing contractors who would have shareholders. So any profit that is made largely gets invested back into infrastructure - replaceing network pipes - or the business generally.
I guess in the case of Baramber, it will be run with volunteers until it can function profitably.

How does a not-for-profit business work?

A not-for-profit organisation doesn't operate for the profit, personal gain or other benefit of its members either during its operation or if it winds up (closes down). Rather, any profit made is used to further the aims of the organisation (or if the organisation is a registered charity, its 'charitable purposes').23 Mar 2022

Yes it can.

Some terms are legally protected but you'd be amazed just what you can get away with. By way of example if you claim to be a barrister, and you have not been called to the bar by one of the four Inns of Court, you commit a criminal offence. However you can call yourself a lawyer without any qualification and that's perfectly permissible.
