Onwards and upwards....

Visitors to the shop will have already seen a number of changes to the layout and presentation...

We've been busy! Or rather, our new shop managers have..
As they continue their excellent work, the committee is looking to the future (... Christmas! and beyond!) to see where we further improve this community hub. Take a look at the newsletter and perhaps consider what events you might like and contact janet and discuss.

The Committee is also looking at:

  • wheelchair access to the shop
  • A complete review of the property to address minor infrastructure issues
  • Further improvements in the kitchen
  • more offerings in the cafe.

So lots to look forward to...


Past Presentations

Would you like to manage our Twitter Account?

In addition to this website and our FaceBook account, we are considering the launch of a Twitter Account so that we may reach our community and wider audience - such as the many walking, cycling and ramblers associations that might wish to be aware of the shop activities. If you would like to manage this account, please let us know by emailing us here.

Thanks!
