sure it is affordable for anyone wanting to hire the hall for an event to be able to

event in our village hall soon.

day by day, week by week, year by year have kept it going.
We continue to be well supported both by volunteers and customers. Without
those who order, collect, take in stock and work behind the counter or those who
come in and buy the community shop would not be possible. Visitors often
comment on the vast selection we have in the shop, the fresh fruit and veg, the
