Some of you may have already discovered that at the shop we have been overcome with festive spirit and goodwill to all and are offering our customers a free hot drink while shopping throughout December and January. If you’re lucky you may even get a free biscuit to go with your drink!
We’d like to thank all our volunteers for their hard work over the past year and especially over Christmas. There are a huge number of ‘behind the scenes’ tasks, from ordering stock, fixing computers and collecting data, to organising the storeroom, sourcing new products and making the shop look good, as well as manning the till every day and we couldn’t do it without you all.
At this point Anne would like me to mention that we are always happy to welcome more volunteers, please ring her on 841345 if you would like to help, even just an hour a fortnight would make a difference.
We get many lovely compliments from visitors to the village and people just passing through, but we’re not going to rest on our laurels; we’ll keep on trying to make the shop the best it can be for everyone in the village.
We’d like to wish you all a very happy 2017.
Mary Whiting
