NEWS
Many of you will already know that our shop manager, James Carpenter, will be resigning from the end of September. The committee is therefore requesting the whole village pull together to secure a successful and thriving shop for the future as we endeavour to manage the shop ourselves in the short term. We are committed to bringing together the ideas, suggestions and skills of those in our community. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any committee member or leave a note in the shop diary behind the counter if you can help in any way.
NEW FRUIT AND VEG SUPPLIER
Payhembury Provisions are pleased to announce a new supplier for fruit and vegetables which should help ensure the freshest quality, locally grown where possible and competitive prices. Remember, too, that if you are a keen gardener we also operate a ‘crop for the shop’ system whereby you can donate any surplus crop to the shop which is then sold for a token amount per kilo.
VOLUNTEERS
THANK you to our dedicated team of volunteers who have helped fill the spaces in the rota over the holiday period. September is also a popular holiday month for those without school aged children so as always we welcome those who can do an extra session or start volunteering with us. Thank you also to the youngsters who help as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award or Community Volunteering Award. We value everyone’s help so please fit us into your weekly routine – an hour a week makes all the difference!
