Please consider helping out at the shop on a trading day or with receiving the delivery (usually Thursday mid-afternoon).
The Saturday shift is split into 9am-12 (set-up) and 12-3pm (clearing away).
Helen M is the new Rota Officer (from 9/11/09) and she hopes she doesn't have to send out so many emails as Kate did earlier.
Her email is h_milne14@yahoo.co.uk , and you can get in touch if you want details of how to help out on a shift, what the physical work involved is, and to put yourself down for a particular trading date.
Her job would be much less onerous if you could sign yourself up to the online rota, which has now moved to DOODLE
A page appears with the next 2 session's tasks laid out; add your name and phone number at the bottom, and check those tasks you can sign up for.
Click on "Save" to save your choices. I think you have to sign up for Doodle for it to work.
There are many other ways to help at the co-op, without having to leave your computer or house! Read the newsletter to find out how.
