Call inor phone 01886 822227But it seems that the servicebest appreciated by locals ishaving a shop on their doorstep,saving them the 10 mileround trip to Bromyard. Especiallywhen prices in the villageare much the same as inthe Coop. So, at a time whenshops everywhere are struggling,sales for the VillageShop are more than 10%higher than the same periodlast year. A good omen for thenew shop that we hope toopen in the village by nextwinter, purpose-built withmore space, more local foods,more space to browse. Plusnew services possibly includingmobile phone top-ups andparcel mailing.We‘ll also be looking for morevolunteers to help run theShop and more local people tobecome shareholders.Martin YarnitOpening HoursMonday- Friday 8.45-5.30Late night opening Wednesdaytill 7Saturday 9-3Sunday 10-1
of Greater Whitbourne Page 5Your Magazine Needs You!From the Editor. In the Spring, the magazine will be moving to a smaller A5 format tohelp minimise printing costs. This would be an ideal opportunity to redesign some aspectsof the magazine to help make it more attractive to you and other readers. Itwould also be great to try and increase the content of the magazine in terms of:the number and range of articles (both light-hearted and serious)the introduction of regular features (e.g. crosswords, gardening tips, favouriterecipes, local history, jokes, etc.)more news and views from different parts of the Parish (Sapey Snippets, TedstoneTitbits, Wolferlow Ways, Edvin Loach Latest ....)All offers of help, however small, would be greatly appreciated. For example:Can you help in the magazine redesign (offer ideas, review designs and layoutsetc)?If you live in Upper Sapey, Edvin Loach, Tedstone Delamere, Tedstone Wafre orWolferlow, would you be willing to be your village‘s ‗contact‘ with responsibilityfor gathering and forwarding local news and views to the editor?Would you be interested in being part of an informal editorial team, meeting twothreetimes per year to help plan and generate ideas for forthcoming issues?Do you have ideas for articles – either regular or one-off features?Would you be willing to contribute an article or series of articles?If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Mark Powell (the editor) on01886 821121 or by email parish.magazine@yahoo.co.uk. I look forward to hearingfrom you.
