Maggie the postmaster here. Today we managed to hand out 5 parcels delivered a few days ago to our customers. However, the freed up space in the storeroom was short lived as the postman brought another 6! If you receive notification from Royal Mail that your parcel has been delivered but you haven't received then it will be in the post office and you can collect it from the shop even when the post office part is closed. All you need is some form of ID and your signature when you come in to collect it. Thanks

Thank you to each and every customer who visits the shop and Post Office. Your loyalty and continued support has enabled the Storth Community Co-operative to award a total of £6300 in Grants this year.

This amazing total wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of every one of our volunteers too. Whoever serves you at the Post Office or shop counter is giving their time and efforts freely. Many others too, behind the scenes but carrying out essential tasks to keep the shop and Post Office operating smoothly.

So please, let’s keep working together to help our local community and encourage others to use this great resource too. We have something for everyone.

The Grants for 2026 have been awarded to:
Storth Community Transport £150
Storth Village Hall £1000
Storth Playing Fields Committee £1000
Storth School PTA £1000
St John’s Hospice £1500
Rosemere Cancer Foundation £1500
Storth Community Lunch Club £150

Thank you everyone who has made this possible 🙏

Did you, or someone you know, drop some passport photos in the shop today, Friday 16th October? These relate to a driving licence application. Please call into the shop to collect if they are yours. Thank you.

What sells out very quickly this time of year? The charity Christmas cards of course! From tomorrow they will be available in the shop, in aid of St John’s Hospice and Rosemere Cancer Foundation. We also have a selection of non-charity Christmas cards on the stationary shelves.

A new mug for Storth & Sandside with lovely winter photos from Wayne who has kindly given us permission to use these. A hug in a mug, as one of the volunteers has called them. Each mug contains a sachet of Cadbury’s drinking chocolate, two fine English breakfast tea bags and a chocolate biscuit. All nicely packed in a gift box ready to give to someone who will think about you every time they make a brew.

Maggie the postmaster here - Whilst we appreciate the book swop facility on the village green someone has taken a book and some vegetation by it and stuffed them into the post office letter box outside the shop. Whilst it may have been done as a joke it is a criminal offence to interfere with any Mail box and if the culprit is discovered then court proceedings and the removal of the post box may well follow. The police are aware so if you know who is doing this please get them to stop.
