Feckenham village shop

Congratulations to one of our regular stockists, Kieron caught the news on the way to work and then Cath sent out the following press release so it seems only fair that we should do our bit to spread the word..."Feckenham village shop has just had its first birthday and what a year it has been for the once sleepy village. The community owned shop has a strong base of 90-village residents who run the shop and every single one of them is a volunteer! The shop won the Countryside Alliance Regional award and was put forward along with 12 finalists for the British National Countryside Alliance award. (3,000 initial entries) Off went 6 of the team to represent a cross section of the shop on Wednesday 3rd February 2009 to the House of Lords for the final announcement of the British Champion 2009.
The rest of the village waited on tender hooks until finally the phone call was made. WE WON!Feckenham Village Shop is very proud and honoured to announce that we have become the 2009 British Champion for Village Shops class from the Countryside Alliance awards"
