Pumpkin Paradise

We spent the weekend in Pumpkin paradise! The quantity and diversity of Richard Ramsden's pumpkins and squash amazed us and had to be seen to be believed. We sold £230 worth over the weekend, making a further contribution to the shop fund. We all learnt a great deal more about these wonderful vegetables and really look forward to the exciting locally grown produce that Richard and others will be able to provide for the shop.
We also drew the October 200 Club numbers. The 1st prize was won by number 101 (unsold), 2nd prize by number 22 (Mrs Palmer) and the 3rd prize by number 135 (unsold).
We eagerly anticipate the start of the building work which should be underway by the end of November. We are now confident of being open for business by the middle of March 2009.
