Shop News June 2023

Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Abbotts Ann Village Shop Association (AAVSA)
The AGM of AAVSA will be held on Tuesday 20th June 2023 at 7 p.m. In Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School (see formal notice within shop).

New Forest Ice Cream
We hope that those who attended The Coronation Big Family lunch on Sunday 7th May enjoyed their New Forest Ice Cream desert.  It was donated by your Village Shop!

Shop Broadband
The Shop has at last received its upgrade to full fibre Broadband.  Our thanks go to Maureen Flood for pushing it through and to Keith Saunders for all his help, especially on installation day.  Customers have been very patient throughout this period, for which we thank them, and thanks also to our volunteers who have endured many frustrating moments.  All should be well now with all card transactions being much speedier.

Flower Boxes
Once again we are indebted to Linda Burt, for the lovely display of Summer flowers in the boxes outside the Shop. Thank you Linda.

Pizza Night
I am sorry to have to inform you that May saw the last Friday Pizza night.  Unfortunately no one came forward to take it on and the number of orders had dropped off.  Thank you Julia for your efforts.

Susan Mckeever
Susan Mckeever has been a huge asset to our band of volunteers in the Shop for the 2 ½ years she and David lived in the village.  We bade farewell to her in the Shop on the 4th May just before they returned to Canada.  We wish you all the best Susan.

New Tables for Outside

I am delighted to say that we finally have a new set of outside tables.

These have been lovingly treated by Dee Howarth who willingly supplied the table cloths and flowers.

Even though they are wooden with chrome edging, Dee took time

to sand down and varnish the wood, enabling them to be more

robust for our great Brittish Weather.

They offer a more comfortable setting for any visitor, whether you

are a walker, cyclist or local resident.

Come and enjoy yourselves outside with a fantastic cup of coffee,

or in these sunnier times an ice lolly!

You will always be welcomed.
