ILSINGTON VILLAGE SHOP AGM 17 JULY
It’s that time of year again!
You are cordially invited to the Ilsington Village Shop AGM
At: Ilsington Village Hall Meeting Room
On: Wednesday 17 July
Doors open 7pm for 7.30pm start
EVERYONE WELCOME!
Come along and help us celebrate the Shop’s 12th birthday with drinks and cake as well as finding out how the Shop has been doing over the last year.
Sadly, we are losing one of our longstanding Committee members this year so if there is anyone out there who would like to be a little more involved with our amazing little shop, joining our friendly Shop Committee is the ideal way to do so! Please feel free to have a chat with Amy or Fiona if you would like more information.
Springtime Volunteer Get Together
Amy, Fiona and the Shop Committee organised a wonderful Spring Volunteer Social Event on Friday 19 April. A great chance to get together for a catch up, meet new volunteers and enjoy some delicious food and drink. It was also a lovely opportunity to thank all our Volunteers in person, as well as their partners and families, of course!
Happy Christmas Everyone!
Amy and Fiona, our lovely Christmas elves, would like to take a moment to wish all of our customers, volunteers, shop committee members and our suppliers a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
Christmas Raffle Winner!
Congratulations to Mark who was the lucky winner of a gorgeous Village Shop Hamper in our Christmas raffle.
Widecombe Charity Christmas Tree Competition
We’ve entered a decorated Christmas tree in the Widecombe Christmas Tree Festival. This year the theme is animals.
Go and have a look now until Sun 17th December in Widecombe church!
Entry is free and donations are going to the charity Aspirations.
And guess what? We won a rosette!
Tennis Club Tournament Donation
Our grateful thanks to the members of the Ilsington and Bickington Tennis Club who ran a tennis club tournament this year which raised £207 for the Village Shop. We have put the donation towards a new printer.
Many thanks to all the tennis players for supporting us.
Late Night Shopping Event
Our Beautiful Christmas Tree
You know that Christmas is on its way when the shop has a beautiful Christmas tree outside.
Our thanks to Alan Hobbs and Alan Coles for being Santa’s helpers this year.
Save The Date! Dec 1 Late Night Shopping 3.30 – 7pm
This year we are joining with the Ilsington Village Hall for our late night shopping and pre-Christmas Get Together!
Put the date in your diary! Please note that the choir is singing at 5.30pm and that the Christmas Wreath Making Class is now from 3pm to 5pm.
See you all on the 1st December!
Happy Halloween!
Some of you may have noticed something spooky at the Village Shop today – and we don’t mean our shop manager dressed as a splendid witch!
Check out Fiona’s amazing carved pumpkin with very sharp teeth! And while you are here, remember to stock up on lots of treats for all the Halloween visits this evening.
Everyone at the Shop wishes you a Spooktacular Halloween!
