Working in the shop is a great way to meet people from across the parish, share
stories and news whilst customers make purchases. And now on Tuesdays feel a SANCTUARY FLOWER GUILD
part of the village hall coffee morning as customers take their turn to come in the
shop and maybe have a coffee whilst they wait.

We continue to be grateful to the village hall who allow us to use the building for Sept 19/26th Moira Mathers
queuing and sheltering. Our customers continue to show their gratitude for
everything they have with many donations to the food bank (please keep them
coming, we know there is a local need).
We are always on the look out for new volunteers, whether it’s a shift one morning
a fortnight in the shop, cleaning once a month or collecting the stock. It’s all done
by volunteers which is what makes the shop so special and rewarding. If you’d like
to be a part of this great community facility, please get in touch.
And don’t forget to submit your entries for the Village Shop calendar. We’d love to
have your photos or pictures of arts and crafts we can include in the 2021
calendar. Please email to Briantspuddle.shop@gmail.com or drop into the shop.

VILLAGE HALL NEWS

As I write this months article the main hall at the
village hall s being decorated. By the time you are
reading this all the inside areas of the village hall
will have been decorated and waits looking shiny
and new to welcome us back as lockdown
continues to ease.
Our village hall is now able to be declared “covid safe” and so from September
onwards it is available for hire subject to any new government guidelines and the
hirer complying with regulations required for its use. We look forward to seeing the
hall gradually return to some forms of normal use. At the same time by means of
the entrance doors and the lobbies the hall will continue to provide a means of
providing a one way system for the shop.

Please contact Angela Tozer, our booking
secretary, with any enquiries re hiring and using
the hall and one of us will gladly meet you there to
discuss what can be achieved.
A big thank you to everyone who has taken part in
this years 100+ club. It will undoubtedly be our
single largest fund raiser this year and good luck to
