Supporting our village and local community
Willow Farm Gourmet is hosting an evening of wine and cheese tasting on Tuesday 20 November from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at Farmborough Community Shop.
Free entry! Come along, sample and buy some local award-winning produce including wines, liqueurs and gin made by the Tiny Welly Boot Vineyard and goats cheese from Sleight Farm. Plus late-night shopping at the shop too – great ideas for Christmas gifts.
We are pleased to give official notice of the 2018 Annual General Meeting of Farmborough Community Shop.
The minutes of the 2018 AGM are available to view and/or download and will also be available on the day alongside the annual report and accounts for 2017. All members are welcome to join us for the meeting, which should last no more than one hour.
Members are requested to let us know by Monday 5 November whether they will be able to attend.
Committee, volunteers, and local figures celebrate the opening of the shop
The Management Committee would like to thank everyone who came to Farmborough Community Shop’s Grand Opening and Garden Party on Sunday 15 July. We had a great time and hope you did too!
Special thanks must go to all the volunteers who turned up to help on the day, Patience Barnes and the school children who officially opened the shop and in particular Nola Francis for acting as our resident ‘royal’ at the opening ceremony, as well as the shop’s ambassador Anthony Head who took some time out of his busy schedule to attend the event and browse the shop.

It was a memorable occasion and as Mark Swabey, our chairman, noted in his speech, “We look forward to the shop supporting the community, as the community supports the shop, so that everyone enjoys shopping here, the social interactions, and the satisfaction of making our village work as a vibrant community.”
