OTHER NEWS ITEMS
Village Larder - in the old phone box is back up and running. So it's worth taking a regular look in the phone box for any fruit / veg / non-perishable items, and you only have to pay what you think the item is worth, or what you can afford. Any money raised is then donated to a local food bank, so not only are you getting fresh produce, you're doing your 'bit' to help those less
fortunate.
Unfortunately the book exchange on Wednesday mornings is no longer going to be able to carry on running.
However, the Village Hall is open every Sunday morning at 10.30 for a free coffee, so if you still want to get some reading material / exchange books, feel free to pop along then. Everyone is welcome!
