12 December 2010

Here are a few updates, to let you know what's happening and the details of our Christmas/New Year operating hours.

CHRISTMAS HOURS
Our normal days of operating fall on public holidays and we know many of you go away as well, so FIG will be closed on Mondays 27th December and 3rd January. We shall be back to normal on Monday 10th January. If you will be wanting a FIG box or boxes on the 10th, please pay for them on the 20th December, or send an email no later than 3rd January, as we begin ordering from the farmers up to a week prior, remember!

Bulk orders over Christmas, New Year
We will be taking orders for bulk fruits on 13th December for collection on 20th December, and the next one will be 10th January, for collection 17th Jan.


FIG has another branch opening, at Wyong!
Ourimbah is continuing on as usual on Mondays and Wyong will operate on Tuesday afternoons, as identical to the Ourimbah operations as humanly possible!

FIG WYONG

An open day will be held at the Wyong Neighbourhood Centre from 3-5pm on Tuesday 14th December. On that day we will have some sample boxes and produce for those new to FIG and shall be taking orders for the first day of operation on Tuesday, 11th January. The address is Room 5, Old Primary School, Cnr Rankin Court and Alison Road, Wyong (up the hill from Wyong Village Central). We're pretty excited about this and thank Colette for getting this up and running. Our major farmer and super supporter, Michael Champion, hopes to pop his head in for a while as well this Tuesday.

Please forward the details along to anyone you know in the northern part of the coast who may be interested. If there are some of you coming to Ourimbah every week who would find Tuesdays at Wyong more convenient, please let us know either by email or in person at the co-op and if you would like to begin collecting FIG boxes on the 11th January.
