AFTER six years of creating and maintaining the very special service to the community that is the Stawley Shop and Tearoom, Sally and Martin Perry will be retiring as tenants on Sunday April 24.

Stawley Community Association said that while it will be very sad to see them go, it fully understands that they need a life outside the shop, and wish them the very best for a relaxing and enjoyable retirement.

The SCA is extremely pleased to announce that the new tenant for the shop and tearoom is Katie Ashworth who will take over the tenancy.

Katie is very keen to continue to offer the community service that Sally and Martin have brought to the shop, but she does have new ideas of her own which we look forward to experiencing.

Katie will be in the shop to learn the ropes from Monday April 4, so please drop in to meet her and say hello.
