OFFICE AND VILLAGE SHOP

Sadly, the October article did not reach me, so it’s
now included here - Ed.
Running the Shop and Post Office is very much a
team effort. Many people donate their time and effort to keeping the wheels
turning – far too many people to mention individually but our thanks go to all of
them. We could always do with more help and our current needs include:
One or two people to join the team which
receives the Sainsbury’s delivery. We usually
have one delivery a week on a Thursday or
Friday at some time in the afternoon. Two
people meet the delivery and then one puts
the goods away whilst the other inputs the
stock data on the shop’s system. This all
generally takes about an hour and a half
depending on the size of the order and you
might be called on once every two weeks
depending on the availability of others in the
team.
Someone to collect the fruit and veg from Dorchester market on Wednesday
mornings. This would suit early risers as you need to be at the market about
8.00am in order to get the produce back to the shop and set out before the shop
opens at 9.00am. Again, you might be
asked to do this every other week.

One person to join the newspaper
collection team. This means being at Spar
in Puddletown about 8.30am and
delivering the papers to the shop before
it opens at 9.00am. You would have a
regular day each week.
If you think you could help with any of
these jobs please get in touch with us at
