Spring Makeover for Wendover’s • Telephone calls will still be received using the regular landline number 01296 624270. Florence Shop The Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity Wendover Shop team are extremely excited that their Shop is going to get a full refurbishment and brand new look this spring. Wendover is Florence’s flagship shop, but the Charity feels it needs an upgrade after 28 years of shopping, as well as there being some essential maintenance required. The Shop, which is located opposite the Manor Waste on Wendover High Street, will be closed from Wednesday 26th February to the beginning of April while the work is carried out. “We hope that all our Volunteers, customers and donors will be pleased with the result,” says Shop Manager Sue Lee. The other Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity Shops will be open as usual – find out more at fnhospice.org.uk/shop-with-us. Wendover News will operate domestically from that time. Anyone needing to meet a member of staff will have to make a formal arrangement using one of these methods of communication: • Email service, via editor@wendovernews. co.uk, will not change.
01296 624270
• Post will be redirected.
The Village Gate
Wendover News has had the information below from the Central Southern Regional Director of CAMRA, Carl Griffin: “I think that the only way to proceed is for the local community in Wendover to form a group to campaign for the pub’s reopening, with contingency for potentially stepping up to purchase the pub if it is put up for sale or redevelopment, and the support of Aylesbury Vale & Wycombe CAMRA.”
editor@wendovernews.co.uk Florence Nightingale Hospice Shop 19 High Street, Wendover HP22 6DX Wendover News, established 1989, is delivered through the door to many local households. If you do not receive one at home and would like to volunteer to deliver for us to your road, please contact the office (see above). Wendover News would like to thank all its willing volunteers.
If you or a group you know would be interested in running the Village Gate as a community pub, please get in touch with Wendover News by email, and we will forward your plans on to CAMRA. Thanks.
