Chearsley Shop – Grand Opening – Saturday June 21st
Do come along on Saturday June 21st to view your re-vamped village shop and to meet Janine Rees, who has spent the last few months busily planning and organising for this day. Come and see how things have changed, browse the shelves of the shop, have a glass of wine and piece of quiche or cream tea in the tea rooms “on the house” and meet up with neighbours old and new again.
The Grand Opening will be at 12 noon and the shop will be open for business until 4p.m. The shop will be open on the Sunday from 8 – 1p.m. and thereafter in the week from 7.00a.m. to 7.00p.m.
The tea rooms will be open for business shortly.
Chearsley W.I.
Chearsley W.I. has been very busy lately preparing their resolution for the W.I. AGM. On Tuesday, June 5th, five members travelled to Liverpool, where their President, Pauline Parkes, spoke, most professionally, in presenting their resolution, which called for a ban on the fishing practice known as “bottom trawling”, where it causes catastrophic loss of marine life.
Although it was defeated by 184 votes, the W.I. feel that their aim of raising awareness about the future of worldwide fish stocks and the need to show responsibility for them has been achieved.
