VILLAGE SHOP AND TEAROOM
As most will know we say farewell to Jan and Nick Parker at the end of the month. Jan and her team of helpers have run the Shop and Tearoom for the last few years with a unique combination of friendliness and professionalism while Nick has been a great support behind the scenes. Come rain or shine, they have provided the Minstead community with an outstanding, welcoming and reliable service; and the fact that their tables and chairs are almost always occupied by happy and contented customers is a testament to the Shop’s growing popularity throughout the New Forest. Jan and Nick will be greatly missed by all and we wish them all good fortune for the future.
The new owners, Heidi and Andy Simpson, are looking forward to taking over and are busy learning the ropes. We shall hear more from them soon but they have asked us to inform everyone that they have taken the difficult decision to
close the shop from Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd August to give them and their two small children time to settle in.
Newspapers will be cancelled for those three days so it may be wise to retrieve your coupons this week.
The Shop will re-open at 8.30am on Thursday 4th August.
VILLAGE FETE
As previously announced, this year’s Village Fete will be held on the Green from 12 noon to 5pm on Saturday 13th August.
There will be a great range of stalls and lots of fun for all the family.
Scrumptious teas and a rest area will be available.
The summer beer and cider festival will also be held that weekend in the Trusty.
All proceeds will go to the Minstead Defibrillator Fund and the Church.
Any assistance setting up stalls, helping during the day and dismantling will be most welcome! In particular we are looking for a willing volunteer to run the tombola stall. Please let Steve Cattell know what you are able to do at steve_cattell@hotmail.com, tel 8081 3574.
If you have any books for the book stall please give these Steve (2 Congleton Close).
All contributions for the tombola should be dropped off with Alan Ferguson at Hurdles (if out please leave in blue box in garage!).
WoW (Women on Wednesday at Minstead)
August’s meeting on Weds 10th is for members only and will take the form of an early evening walk on Canada Common (optional), followed by a pub supper at the Rockingham Arms, Wellow (from 8pm).
