In the past many customers asked if we could sell newspapers. The two main issues are a) can we meet the wholesaler's minumum target level and b) can we find enough volunteers to do the morning and evening admin / paperwork?

We are now trialling the sale of newspapers but as of the end of April were falling slightly short of target sales and need some extra volunteers to spread the load! We now also open on Sundays and Bank Holidays between 9am and 11am so you don't miss your paper on those days.

So, dear customers, do encourage friends and neighbours to buy their papers from us and/or if you feel you could help some mornings or evenings on the admin side do get in contact please!
