Shop Christmas at Derwen – in store or online
Derwen College, near Oswestry, is pulling out all the stops to bring festive cheer to shoppers whether from home or on a visit to the newly re-opened Garden Centre and Shop.
The specialist further education college, in Gobowen, has its own Garden Centre and gift shop, which will be reopening to the public on Monday, 30th November. The shop will be selling Christmas trees, seasonal plants, wreaths, decorations, unique gifts and hampers.
Derwen College has also launched a brand new online shop at www.shopatderwen.co.uk for shoppers who prefer to browse and buy online.
Hampers brimming with Made@Derwen fine fare, including the college's own jams and chutneys, as well as unique and thoughtfully sourced gifts from the shop, make the perfect Christmas present.
Shop supervisor Sharon Jones is happy to be able to offer customers a choice of shopping experiences.
"Shoppers are mindful of the need to shop local and support small businesses at this difficult time, and we've had lots of messages of support from the community" she said.
"Shopping at Derwen College gives the opportunity to buy festive garden and home décor and truly unique gifts. It also supports students with special educational needs and disabilities in their learning and work experience."
Themed hampers include ones for jam or chutney lovers, fans of spicy chillies, and others filled with home gifts such as scented candles.
Christmas trees available include non-drop Nordman Firs in blocks or potted Norway Spruces, priced from £25. Mistletoe will be available at £2 a bunch.
Shoppers can visit the Derwen College shopping website at www.shopatderwen.co.uk or call 01691 661234 ext 221 to discuss your order.

Some of you might have seen the piece on the front page of last Tuesday`s Shropshire Star, that £225,000 had been awarded for Ruyton XI Towns Road Safety Scheme.
As I had not heard anything about this, I asked Simon Gittins and David Spicer to give us more information. Apparently, after years of campaigning, this award has come out of the blue to the Parish Council.
Thank you Simon and David, I am sure we all look forward to hearing more about the traffic calming plans to make our village safer.
Message from Smon Gittins, Chairman, and David Spicer, Safer Roads & Vice Chairman, of the Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council
£225,000 funding for traffic calming in Ruyton XI Towns
Shropshire Council has approved a grant of £225,000 for a project to improve road safety in Ruyton XI Towns. The grant has been made available from the Community Infrastructure Levy Fund (CIL) which is levied by Shropshire Council on new developments in their area and used to benefit local communities.
After years of campaigning by RXIT Parish Council and work by the Safer Roads Group for effective measures to limit the speed and volume of traffic through the village, a project for Ruyton XI Towns was on a list of schemes that were a priority for Shropshire Council Highways. However, no funding was allocated.
The CIL Team and Highways and Transport Team have worked to draw up a list of sites across Shropshire to approve for CIL funding as part of a large project to assess highway sites and local needs.
The grant for Ruyton XI Towns is the largest amount awarded to a single project from the list of priorities that was assessed.
WSP, Shropshire Council's contracted Civil, Highways and Transport. Engineering Consultancy has been commissioned to consider options and design the work with an expectation that they will involve the Parish Council and local community.
The Parish Council is determined that this funding will be an opportunity to ensure not only that Ruyton XI Towns becomes a safer place but also that the changes will be an example of how improved road safety can also lead to an improved environment and enhanced attractiveness for the village. The local community will be informed, involved and consulted.

I have joined Oswestry Net, which is a similar mailing list to our own Ruyton and District mailing list, so am getting more information about what our nearest town is offering. Oswestry is quicker and easier to get to than Shrewsbury or Meole Brace, it has a wealth of small shops, artists and crafts people for us all to support - and it is cheaper to park than our County Town.
Message from Ingrid Knowles at Oswestry Net.
The Ruyton and District Mailing List welcomes all Christmas notices for circulation round over 200 email addresses in the area - they then go forward to Ruyton facebook.
