The Swan AGMs

The Swan Clewer Community Interest Company owns and runs The Swan in Clewer, Windsor. It has over 200 investors of all shapes and sizes, and two major share holders through Windsor & Eton Brewery and The Green Room School. The Swan is unique - it is a pub, it is a community hub, and it is a school. No other place is like it in the UK.

Each year we hold an AGM in the summer out in The Courtyard to let in as many investors as possible. Our AGMs have the school, the pub and the community present an update. There is also an opportunity for questions. Documents, videos, minutes et al can be found via this page.

The AGM was held on Sunday 8th September. Unlike previous years, it was not broadcast and no photos were taken. A hardcopy of the minutes is available which has been sent to The Bevy. Will scan this and add it in soon.

Slides

The Main Slides for 2024 can be viewed and downloaded as required. They give an excellent overview of the last year which has seen high energy costs and inflation.

For further information please contact Martin by email via company.secretary@theswanwindsor.co.uk He will try his best to help you out in a reasonable time (please note that this is a voluntary position so he has his day job too).

All at The Swan would like to thank Richard Douglas, the outgoing Company Secretary, for all his work including the formation of the CIC. We have had ups, and some downs, but our wee community pub with its school keeps going despite covid, utility increases, government changes, et al. Huge thanks. And welcome to Martin Payne, another local lad, who is taking up the mantle. Thank you for your service as they say.

Our third AGM was delayed until a rather cold but sunny Sunday in early October. There was a good turn out of interested investors who listened to presentations regarding the finances, the restoration, our school and from the Friends of The Swan. There was a short Q&A session too. Here are all the materials so you can be part of that day.

Here are the After Notes (minutes) produced by the Richard Douglas - Company Secretary of the Swan Clewer CIC - for your perusal and to give you all the information.

Our second birthday past a few weeks ago but due to Covid restrictions, it made running the AGM extremely difficult. We therefore delayed it until we could do it in a safe and legal way. The day was called 'Freedom Day' when the last of the restrictions were lifted, we called it our 'The Swan AGM'. Our evening was opened by Soul Duo who provided some excellent music as people arrived. They are our first band in over a year due to covid restrictions.

Slides

This year the slides were a bit more concise along with the overall presentation. It was slick and belied the amount of preparation it took by all the presenters and those who supported them.

Photos

We also took some photos of the AGM, showing the attendees et al that couldn't show on the actual Facebook video (our focus was the presenters). Apologies if we missed you, perhaps next time?

We have been quite open with the AGM holding it in The Courtyard of the pub with the event being streamed live via Facebook. Information here is to help people understand about the CIC, and clearly demonstrate that ANY and ALL profits are re-invested back into the pub to allow further refurbishment activities.

Slides

The slides presented on the day were quite long and detailed. We have condensed these down to something a little more readable and manageable.

Video

As this was the first AGM and with over 200 stakeholders, we were unsure how many to cater for in The Courtyard. So a wee bit of modern technology and it was streamed live. You can see the video here.
