The Clatfords Village Store

The immediate Past Mayor of Test Valley, Councillor Mrs Pat West officially re-opened the refurbished shop on Saturday morning, 2 nd October, at 11.00 am . Our Member of Parliament, Sir George Young was also in attendance with Jane Storer kindly welcoming the new arrangement.

Sarah Dowding, Lara Madge and Amanda Roberts-Davies will be Shop Managers. They bring a wealth of retail experience and expertise and will breathe fresh life and new impetus into the running of the shop. They already have detailed plans to revitalise the range of goods offered, including an enhanced range of local produce and delicatessen items.

The new managers are keen to introduce new items for sale and encourage their customers to come and trry them. They also hope to be able to offer free tastings for some of these new products.

The Clatfords Shop Association are continuing to encourage those without a share to buy one. A high level of continuing local financial support remains essential as the grants available from Test Valley Borough Council are calculated on a multiple of the money raised from local residents and from the Parish Councils. Their intention is to build an extension onto the shop: this is considered vital for long term viability. Share and Loan application forms are available from Mrs Jo Winchcombe (Chairman) Tel: 01264 350464, David Drew (Publicity Officer) Tel: 01264 357024, and all committee members.

This is now your shop so do please go along and support it.
