The committee supports and improves The Plough, with members focusing on areas where their skills or interests are most valuable. Some key roles include:
Chair and Vice Chair

Community & Members’ Representative
Secretary

Even if these specific roles aren’t your area of expertise, you can still offer valuable general support and help keep The Plough running smoothly.

Become a Member
If you’re not already a member, purchasing shares (starting at £50) allows you to stand for election and vote. It’s one vote per shareholder, not per share, and every vote counts in keeping The Plough at the heart of our community.
If joining the committee isn’t your style, there are still plenty of ways to get involved! Whether it’s volunteering or simply supporting the pub in other informal ways, we would love your contribution. Just ask at the pub or email us to explore these options further.
