Please help support the hospitality industry with a Vat cut!
As the 3rd biggest employer in the uk with direct jobs of over 3 million and indirect supply chain of 3 million its very important.
Having supplied the hospitality trade for 35 years we have never seen it as tough – food inflation, utility increases, NI increase are having a massive impact at all levels.
This is the industry where most of us had our first job, and learned the ethos of work, we need this industry to survive.
A VAT reduction is the obvious answer and dare I say one in line with Europe – Ever wondered why your meal or accommodation in France or Germany seems better value?
10% Vat on hospitality in France, 7% in Germany – If we dropped to 10% in the uk in may just be the lifeline to save the industry that we need to survive!
If you care about your local pub, your favourite restaurant, your friends or family employed in the industry, or your chesse shop, butcher, farmer and of course wine merchant I urge you to sign the petition.
If hospitality goes, we go with it.

COME AND JOIN US THIS SUNDAY | ⚽️🐗🏆👏

​We host Oddies WMC this weekend at home in our penultimate game of the season - and a day where we say farewell to a local grassroots football legend!

After 50 years as "the man in the middle," Jim Wilson is officially retiring!

Jim’s career began on March 23rd, 1976 (Carperby Rovers v Middleham Town).

Now, 3,460 games later, his incredible journey comes full circle as he blows the final whistle right here at Middleham. 👏
​
Come cheer on the lads as they are presented with the silverware to mark a historic double-winning season - and let's get a massive crowd down to show Jim some appreciation for half a century of dedication to the sport.

🥓 ​We’ll have bacon sandwiches, snacks, and drinks available.
