Extra Opening Hours
12th June, 2008
Our Village shop will be opening on Wednesday afternoons during July and August between 2pm and 4pm.
We are also getting support from the Co Op a lady will be in the shop on Tuesday Morning called Alma.
This will help us to keep the shop open the extra hours during the summer.

Product of the month
Halcyon Honey, Charlbury
According to Jeff Burroughs of Halcyon Honey, the right kind of honey can help tackle allergies.
With allergy season fast approaching now is the perfect time to buy your stocks of this local delicacy.
It’s well worth trying since it possesses a heady fragrance and a subtle taste that largescale
supermarket honeys simply don’t have. Created by local bees from local flowers, heathers
and blossoms, Halcyon Honey should be on every kitchen shelf!

Bread
Since our Supplier in Witney, Palace Cuisine, was Flooded in July, we have been trying different options with the weekly bread and none of them have been up to the High Standard set by the Palace. However, we are working with Hawkins Bakery in Carterton as a trial for the month of February and are keen to hear your views. They will deliver on a Thursday and a Saturday and we will take a selection of bread, rolls, savouries and buns. The bread they stock bakes locally with flour from Wantage Flour Mill and they have been around since 1985 in Carterton. Come in and have a look at the full product list as we'll be happy to take feedback and place orders for one-off or regular requests.

Help Our Village Shop
There are a number of ways to support the Village Shop
Shopping
The most obvious is to shop with us. We stock a wide range of goods; many things come fresh from local suppliers. see the shopping basket for a few of the excellent choices.
Volunteering
If you have some time on your hands (even if it is only an hour or two) you can volunteer to help in the Shop. Speak to any of the shop staff for more information.
Fund Raising
We sometimes have fundraising events. Details will be posted here and in the shop. You can come along and support us or offer to help at the event.
Spreading the Word
Nothing is better for a business than a personal recommendation. Tell you friends and relatives about the shop and (if they are also local) encourage them to come along. We are sure that they will enjoy the experience and be made very welcome by our friendly team.
Donating
You can offer a donation to the Shop's funds. Sometimes vital equipment breaks down or simply wears out. We need to service all our equipment and sometimes replace it. Any help toward this end would be most gratefully received.
Become a Shareholder
For the small sum of £10, you can become a shareholder in our Village Shop.
Being a shareholder gives you the right to help decide the Shop's future and to have a say in how it is run.
Each person can buy a single share in the shop. Those under 18 can give a £10 loan which will be converted into a share on their 18th birthday. Please ask any member of the Shop's staff for more details.
Where is our Village Shop?
The Village shop is situated in the Village Centre
next to the Swimming Pool.
