Invitation from Oswestry Chamber of Commerce

Message from Alberto Porras.

Invitation from the Oswestry Chamber of Commerce to members of Oswestry and Borderlands Tourism.

Oswestry Chamber of Commerce is the leading organization promoting business in Oswestry and the surrounding district, having a clear and respected voice with such bodies as Shropshire Council, Oswestry Town Council and the Oswestry Town Joint Economic Board. It is a member lead organisation and the key to having it address the concerns and promote the interests of any particular business sector, such as Tourism and Leisure, is for businesses working in those sectors to join the Chamber and help shape its policies, activities and priorities. The Chamber is also an ideal place to network with other businesses, learn from their experiences and to keep your finger on the pulse of a host of issues and opportunities which might impact upon your business.

The Chamber invites any businesses working in tourism and leisure to attend the next Chamber meeting as a guest to observe, hopefully to participate and to find out about how joining the Chamber could help promote the interests of your business.  

The next Chamber meeting will be held on Wednesday 6^th November at 7pm at the Winnstay Hotel in Oswestry. If you would like to attend as a guest please contact me, Alberto Porras, at alberto@woolstonhouse.com in order to arrange your visit.

 In addition, if you wish, you could drop into the Winnstay Hotel on October 9^th between 4pm and 8pm where the Chamber will be holding an open event – The Oswestry Connection – to discuss the Chamber’s activities with some of its members.

Can anyone help please

Messages from Yoland.

Today Roger and I returned from holiday to find a parcel left outside our house addressed to M. Wartts, Brownhill House, Brownhill, Shrewsbury SY4 1LR.

No-one by that name lives or has, or is booked, to stay here.

It is quite a large parcel from Plantiflor.  I have looked up this company, they are in Spalding, Lincs and supply bulbs and plants.  The parcel could have been here for nearly 2 weeks so if it contains plants they will be the worse for wear. 

Do you know a friend or neighbour called M. Wartts, if so, please ask them to contact me ASAP.

We were visiting our daughter Miranda and family in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Some of you will remember her - yes, they are all fine and their cafe bar, Cosmo and the new Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant is proving a great success.  If you want to know more about Miranda`s hectic life, find her on face book

I also found a very basic hand written leaflet put through the cat door while we were away:-

MOBILE

ALL ASPECTS

BARBERING

TELEPHONE

If anyone can give me more information or better still, some feedback on this mysterious nameless person, I would be most grateful.
