Shop and Post Office

We are doing our utmost to keep the shelves full and doors open whilst meeting the Government Instruction to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Christmas is coming…

We currently have a range of small Christmas goodies on display in the Jubilee Room. Have a look before you come into the shop and hopefully you will find something that you’d like to buy!

We are pleased to announce that the shop can now accept payment by card (contactless or by using your PIN) and phone. This makes it even easier to come and spend your money!

Only one customer may now be in the shop at one time in order to observe social distancing. Please arrive by the front door of the hall using an elbow on the disabled button and follow the route below observing 2 metre (6 feet) distancing. There is now a light system with green for enter and red for wait which can be seen from the Jubilee room lobby door. When it is green go into the shop wearing a face covering and still observing 2 metre (6 feet) distancing.

After you have finished please leave by the normal passageway to the road. Sanitise or wash hands as soon as you can and before touching your face. It may seem a bit over the top to some but this is necessary so please do it.

We are currently offering a newspaper delivery service for those who are self-isolating, this is free of charge. Please contact us via briantspuddle.shop@gmail.com for more details and to put in your order.
