New In Stock
1. Ethel’s pies, as tried and tested at last years Fete, are now in stock. We have a good selection for you to choose from – Chicken and Ham, Steak and Kidney, Beef
in Guinness and Pork and Mushroom. They can be cooked from frozen and I have it on good authority that they are excellent.

2. Along with a variety of ‘Home made’ cakes, delivered on Tuesdays, Lavender Blue now provide a selection of Quiches (order now ready for the Coronation Picnic).

3. Have you noticed that the morning bakers are now baking Beef Pasties (£2) and sausage Rolls (2 for £1). These early morning volunteers are saints. Many thanks all.

4. Goodworth English Sparkling Classic Blend BRUT is proving to be very popular. It would make an excellent Easter gift, or why not just treat yourself.

HELP WANTED
We need a volunteer cleaner, just a couple of hours a week, and a Marketing and Media volunteer. If you can help with either please speak with Julia.

Disasters Emergency Committee -Turkey-Syria Earthquake appeal
Supporting the relief effort in Turkey and Syria

Devastating earthquakes have killed thousands of people in Turkey and Syria. Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed leaving survivors facing freezing conditions. Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) charities and their local partners are among the first responders, working with locally-led relief efforts. Immediate priorities are medical treatment for the injured, shelter for those who have lost their homes, heaters for spaces and winter kits with blankets, and warm clothes, and ensuring people have food and clean water.

Post Office branches can accept donations for the DEC by cash or card.
