OUR FORMER MANAGER The Steering Group was extremely saddened to hear from Tricia Lipton at the end of September that she wanted an exit strategy because the job was not what she thought it would be. As the Group put it in a letter to all volunteers, "We had hoped that she would be our manager for much longer but we need to respect her decision and we wish her well in whatever the next chapter will be. We are very grateful for all she has contributed to the opening stage of the Shop and need to develop on from this." How many days shall we be open? Remember! The shop and other parts will only be open for the times for which we have volunteers. Many have kindly said that they are willing to help, but only a few have signed up for a particular time slot. If you are willing to offer a few hours whether occasionally or on a regular basis, please phone Alison Last on 747 828, who is currently co-ordinating the rota. She will tell you all you need to know. Please help her to fill up her rota. It would be sad to have to close up for a couple of hours for lack of a phone call. Alternatively call the shop on 748 748.  The new Shop sign and logo on the wall facing the Wakerley Road. There is another one facing King's Lane.
