Condolences to Susan and Victoria. Happy Birthday in October to: Viv Connor, Hannah B-A, David Jane , Randle Williams, Eve B, Poppy G, Lauren B, Claire Humby, Dickie Goddard, Christine Jane, Ben F, Amanda Townsend (a big 0, I believe), Ben, Kerra Langley, Shirley Lee, Chris Hunt, Ann Vaulter, Emily L, Shania W, Bim Mai, Jimmy Hammill, Dave Gascoigne (a big one!), Pat Palmer, Bryony Halliday, Riley G, John Trewin, Hannah Johnson, Jamie T, Kevin Bosustow, Joal R Best wishes to Danny Meek, Sharky, Taff, Maureen Girling and Jean Smith, all of whom have been poorly lately, and Denise Wilson who broke her ankle during a holiday in Spain. Please join me in giving a warm welcome to David and Margaret Hawkins who have moved to Mundays Field. They hail from Somerset and have been visiting the area for many years. Some years ago, they acquired Ella’s Field near Bodrigy. A big welcome also goes to Claire Bollard, the new owner of Ruan Minor Post Office and Store. Claire took over early in September and many of you have probably met her by now. Claire trained as an accountant and has spent the last two years looking for a sub-post office in Cornwall. Before that she worked for a gold mining company in Denver, USA, a job which involved extensive travel overseas with the company’s exploration team. At heart though, Claire says she’s not cut out for the corporate world. “I like being part of a community, I want to get involved in local activi- ties,” she said. She’s been assured that the Post Office side of the business is safe from any more cuts, although the look of the Post Office counter may change over time as the business is modern- ised. Claire wants to hear from customers what they’d like to see stocked in the shop, so why not drop round for a chat. Peter Sumner and Jane Vowles, who previously owned the Post Office and Store, haven’t moved far and will be staying in Ruan Minor. We wish them a long and Cont.
