Gather - big launch now July 13

[gather]

Hi everyone,

As many of you will have seen in the General thread, Gather, a new zero waste shop / refillery and community space (think environment talks and sustainability workshops) is opening shortly at 121 Bellenden Road.

As a bit of context, we're an independent social enterprise, run by us, Laura and Tash, We're both local and we're really passionate about making this work for the community. We have been planning this for a very long time, and some of you will have filled in our survey many months ago, so thank you for bearing with us.

After a number of hiccups, we missed our target of opening in May, but do hope to open by the end of this month, and in the meantime you're really welcome to pop by to say hi when we're in there getting things ready, or to follow/read up on us at - links below.

We'll definitely continue to use the forum to get views on what more, better, and differently we can be doing. This is all new for both of us, but hopefully it won't show!

Thanks for all your support,

Laura and Tash

So is there a revised date for the opening?

Hi all,

With apologies for the delay in getting back on the revised timings, we are delighted to announce we will (finally) be opening on July 6 - hope to see as many of you as possible in the weeks and months ahead.

Thanks

Great I 'll be down.. I have been going to the wonderful 'BYO' on Evelina Rd for a while, so this is the way to go! Well done Tash and Laura, look forward to meeting you

[gather]

Thanks all, and yes Sue we're big fans of Laura over at BYO and have recommended her on the forum to others before too!

As you will have seen from the updated date, very sadly we have had to shift our big launch day back a week to July 13. We've had a couple of hiccups in the last few days that have made it impossible to open tomorrow. We're pretty gutted, but we are nearly there.

See everyone soon.

Tash and Laura

Your shop looks great, outside and inside!

Really looking forward to its opening.

Will you have herbs and spices?

[gather]

Hi Sue - yes, we have 50ish in stock. Hopefully see you tomorrow!

Excellent!

I will try to come down tomorrow!
