I apologise for any inconvenience this is causing due to low or depleted stocks. One thing I can say is that we have been asked to empty this building and it will be separated into 15 sections. So I’m sure you will appreciate my dilemma. “To stock or not to stock?” Without a doubt, we will re-stock fully once we have re-located.

Enjoy your week.

The Management Committee is looking for a new secretary.  If anyone would like to take on this job, we would be grateful and you would have the opportunity to make a difference with a like-minded group of members.
Please think about it and let Babs at the Co-op know if you are interested or have questions.   More information about the position.

Otherwise we are still waiting to hear from ANUExchange as to where and when we will be moving but don’t worry, you will be the first to know!
