Ian is the last man standing and we are sending him home to help Ellie who has made lovely cakes to sell in the coffee shop. Look on our gallery to see photos of all the shelves stacked.

Alison's left to get the coffee shop ready for Saturday's opening. Two others seem to be joining Diane in the funny poses competition or have they just heard that we have all the ingredients they need to make their Christmas Cake! 
Seven people are counting down the days until Saturday 1st November when Grampound will again have a village store and in addition a coffee shop to meet up with friends and family. As you will see Debbie is getting into the spirit of the occasion. If you feel left out then come along, we really need a few more volunteers please! Pop along as we set up or email shop@grampoundvillagestore.co.uk. Don't forget our special opening on 7th November. 
Meet Kevina Taylor who we have appointed as Manager, Kevina lives up the road at Probus and looks forward to meeting you all in November.
Everyone in Grampound, our shareholders and sponsors will receive an invitation to attend our special opening on Friday 7th November at 10.30 am which will include meeting some of our local suppliers and we are delighted that the children of our school will also be involved.
Some 18 months ago Fiona Jones wrote to Alex Polizzi to tell her of our project, we did not really expect a reply but to our delight Sue, Alex's PA wrote back and asked us to keep Alex up to date with progress. We have been in contact ever since and whilst long distance contact is difficult we received nothing but encouragement which kept us going and made us believe we could achieve a village store....and so we have! We are really looking forward to meeting Alex in person and of course all our lovely customers and supporters. So much is happening at the moment I'm not sure where to begin! So I'll tell you a little about some of the local producers we are signed up to use:
Kernow Sausages - sausages, hogs pudding and bacon from pigs in Cornwall St Ewe Eggs - medium, large and extra large eggs all laid a few miles up the road Rodda's - milk, clotted cream, double cream, creme fraiche, custard, yoghurts, butter and some cheeses all made with milk produced in Cornwall Newquay Fruit Sales - when in season vegetables etc grown locally Da Bara Bakery - the bread, croissants and pain au raisin are very popular at our Produce Market Martin's Bread - a popular, traditional Cornish bakery from St Austell who served the Hollies Skinner's - We have already ordered bottles of Betty Stog, Cornish Knocker and their new pale ale River Cottage EPA. Getting our priorities right! |
