PICNIC & MUSIC AT THE MANOR

A great event to raise funds for the community shop and the Teen Challenge charity took place on Sunday 18^th August. In the lovely setting on Minstead Manor, thanks to Len & Heather Brown for allowing the use of their beautiful garden, a wide range of music was played for our entertainment.

Many thanks to all the musicians who donated their talents on the day. They were mostly from the Social Club Open Mic evenings, as well as local contributions from BOBS and others. With a guest appearance from Goodnight Night Sweethearts singing Andrews Sisters songs from WWII.

The weather was kind to us and everybody who was there enjoyed it immensely. Tickets sales raised £510 giving a net profit of £280 to be shared by the Community Shop and Teen Challenge

Many thanks to Jo Vardy for coming up with the idea and organising musicians, sound system and vital signposting to the Manor on the day.

Thank you to all those who came; many suggesting it should become an annual Minstead event.

The Pop-up Café has been in action again this weekend – see above – so many thanks to all who contributed!

MINSTEAD COMMUNITY SHOP SHARES ISSUE

As already announced, the Minstead Community Shop (MCS Ltd) is issuing shares to raise money to open the Community Shop. The Committee of MCS Ltd has set a date of 30^th September to reach its target of £25,000 from share sales. Meeting the target by that date will allow us to start refurbishing the room in the Trusty Servant as soon as the lease is agreed, which we expect to be in early October. The sooner we start refurbishing; the sooner the shop will be open.

Please join the Minstead Community Shop Society by buying shares as this is the only way to make the community shop a reality.

There are a number of documents on the shop webpage on the Minstead website (www:/minstead.org.uk/village-community-shop-project/) for you to look at. This also shows the latest weekly totaliser so you can see how we are getting on.

If you pay for your share by direct payment into the shop’s bank account don’t forget to send the application form to the address at the end or email it to the address below. We need to register you as a member.

If you have any queries not answered by these documents please contact the committee through our email: minsteadcommunityshop@gmail.com.

MERCHANT NAVY DAY 3^RD SEPTEMBER

Merchant Navy Day is an opportunity to honour the brave men and women who kept our ‘island nation’ afloat during both World Wars, and to celebrate our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers who are responsible for 95% of the UK’s imports, including half the food we eat, plenty of the fuel we burn and virtually all the products and goods we take for granted!
