Our Kings Road store was re-opened this morning (8th Aug) by our Society President, Pauline Dodd, volunteers from the Melbourne Children's Fun Week and Sara's face painting and balloon modelling.
The store looks great and members will receive DOUBLE POINTS all day today!
Each year we are pleased support Sister Moira & Sister Margaret (two local nuns) with refreshments for the children's activity week that they organise in Melbourne every summer.
The event is taking place at Parkwood Academy this week, and we are looking forward to having a group of them come to relaunch our Kings Road store tomorrow at 10AM.
Special thanks to our local supplier, Rossi Ice-cream & Britvic have also kindly donated refreshments for the children to keep them cool in the heatwave. We hope everyone has a great time!
We have various fundraising initiatives going on throughout the year for our Charity of the Year, the Alzheimer's Society.
The next challenge will be for the girls from the Membership & Marketing Team (Georgina Leather, Emily Smith, Yasmin Young and Claudia Eleady-Cole) to 'Abseil the Orbit'.
They will be abseiling 262ft down the ArcelorMittal Orbit at the Olympic Park in Stratford on Friday 21st September 2018.
Some of them are scared of heights!!!

Oldest Co-op Gets A Face-lift
A convenience store in Duke Street, Chelmsford, popular with commuters heading to and from the nearby train and bus stations, has been re-opened with a dramatic new look following major refit work.
As part of our commitment to the environment and the local community, we will be holding a series of 'Big Co-op Clean Up' events across our trading area. We are providing all litter picking equipment, but would love for some local volunteers to come along. Whether you are an individual looking to do a good deed, have a group looking to do some community work or a local business wanting to send a representative, please get in touch if you'd like to help out.
The locations, dates and times of our clean ups are listed here:
