We’re delighted to confirm that Petr Cech will be back between the pipes for the Huskies this season.

After posting an outstanding .9254 save percentage last year and producing a heroic cup final performance that saw him battle through overtime and eight rounds of penalty shots, Petr proved exactly why he’s such a valuable part of this team.

But his impact goes beyond the crease. As one of the greatest goalkeepers ever to play professional sport, Petr brings a level of professionalism, preparation and leadership that benefits the entire team. His experience and approach to the game continue to set the standard and provide invaluable support to his teammates.

A Huskies netminder once again, welcome back Petr.

The hospitality sector has come together to launch – a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we’re working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as and , hospitality communities like , and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.

Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.

This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.

Like, sign the petition and share this post – we need your support to reach a million signatures.
