This week at the co-op

The FIG Annual General Meeting is on tonight and all members are invited for that and also the general meeting which will follow.

Emails containing details have been sent to members.

This week also marks the end of our annual subscription period for the 2013-14 year. Members not renewing their membership by Monday 30th September will cease to be a FIG member, shall be removed from the email list and unable to order food boxes or buy from the extras table. Please contact us on info@fig.org.au if you are having difficulties paying your fees and we can arrange for you to begin paying them off.

The beautiful Kirkconnell pears have come to an end and the Pink Lady apples will soon, too. Tuckerflora Swiss Brown mushrooms have come back into production and we will also begin to get their avocados in from next week. We've been enjoying local blood oranges and Biodynamic mandarins as well as lemons galore. The navel oranges have been superb.

There's talk on the FIG Facebook page of a FIG Green Smoothie Challenge for members, starting in October. More information will be mailed out to members shortly.

Another Public holiday is looming up, so instead of opening on Monday 7th October, the co-op will operate in Tuesday 8th. Same times, same venue, different day.

See you at the co-op!
