Community Shop Update

Just a short note regarding some important changes at the community shop.

The shop will be open on a Sunday morning at the revised time of 10.30am until 12.30pm. It must be noted that the shop may not be open every Sunday.

It will be open when we have a committee member available, the reason as we have no member wishing to take on the management of the shop. Where possible we will aim to email informing in advance when the shop will be closed. If no one steps forward the shop will permanently close at the end of September 2026.

Now for some better news, those of you who placed an order for Potatoes etc. All orders have now been processed and are ready for collection this coming Sunday. 🥔🧅

Plot Inspections

A timely reminder that plot inspections will be starting again soon – in March we undertake a preliminary inspection checking for things such as:

Plot numbers being clearly visible and that paths are in good order.

Then in April plot inspections will begin in earnest.

🔥 March Bonfires 🔥
