The good news is alison’s bookshop will continue to trade under the new ownership of Catherine Robertson.
Our plan is that the shop is closed for just 2 days on May 25th & 26th for a change-over stocktake to take place then Catherine’s first day will be Wednesday May 27th.
Ian will be on site supporting Catherine as she learns the systems we use daily and to assist her in anyway he can. He might not always be visible in the shop but will be on the premises working away on “Administration” matters!! .i.e. “Sortng out the Office!”

Later there will be some reconfiguration of the layout and shelving within the shop to make better use of the musicroom area.
