Meet the Team – Lynda

Lynda Saunders is one of our shop managers.   She shares the job with Lyn Bennett-Nutt.   Lynda was brought up in Swindon and now lives in Winterbourne Monkton.   She started volunteering in the shop shortly after she moved here and then became relief manager before being appointed manager about 3 years ago.   Lynda enjoys meeting the customers and getting to know locals.   Her favourite products are Vicarage Lane Cakes and flapjacks; her husband likes the Ramsbury Beers.   Lynda spends a lot of her spare time with her 3 grandchildren (she looks far too young to be a granny!).   She also enjoys travelling, going to the theatre and all Winterbourne Monkton’s social activities such as the Wine Club and the Village club.

 

Thank You to The National Trust

News, Sponsors

Thank you to the National Trust for providing us with Hope Cottage and for maintaining the property for us so well.   The National Trust provides us with the building at a very low rent in recognition of the valuable service we provide to the local community.   We are very grateful for this support, because without such a lovely building in the heart of the village we would not be able to function.

Volunteer News

IMG0118AJosh is one of our youngest volunteers.   He started volunteering at the shop two years ago before he went to university.   He enjoyed working in the shop so much that he has come back again this summer to help in his holidays.

Josh is studying Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire and has just finished his first year.   His ambition is to be a programmer as he loves solving problems.

Josh’s favourite product is Olive bread which he likes as it is difficult to find in other shops.

Josh enjoys volunteering because of the fantastic managers we have in the shop.   He also loves talking to the customers and especially all our visitors from far and wide.
