POP UP POST OFFICE AT THE READING ROOM

Every Monday morning 9am to 12 noon, Since September last year, which included the Lockdowns, the Pop up Post Office has provided the Grenoside Residents with a lifeline village service. Many Thanks to Carol, Sub Postmistress for the service over the period.

Despite being severely restricted by Covid – 19 over the past year the Trustees and a hard working band of Volunteers have been busy. A new kitchen sink has been fitted to comply with H & S regs. Failed window units replaced in the Georgian style windows. A large section of the Dry Stone wall rebuilt in the lower garden. Jean our neighbour next door in the School House continues to tend to our garden with new plants and bulbs planted for the spring and summer. Bedding plants ready when frosty morning have ended.

GRENOSIDE READING ROOM

42a School Lane, Grenoside, S35 8QU

The Monday Post Office at the Reading Room is now opening 9am to 12 noon. The Post Office is proving to be a great Community asset.

The Pop up Take Away Café on Monday’s has been cancelled whilst we are in the current Governments National Lockdown.

The Reading Room continues to be affected by Covid –19.

The closure has had an effect on the Charities (Grenoside Old School Charity) income. More importantly is the effect that the Pandemic has had on the Community groups and organisations who have regularly meet in the Reading Room.

The Grenoside Christmas Tree Trail in December 2020 was a huge success. The 170 Christmas Trees on the Village Trail brought joy and happiness to many.

Best Wishes and stay safe, from Alan Hooper and the Reading Room Trustees and volunteers.
