[Hazelhurst-Shareholders] IMPORTANT Changes at Hazelhurst and call for general meeting on 14 April

[Hazelhurst CSA Vegbox]

  Dear members, customers and shareholders We promised you a six months
update following the AGM in October 2015. Times are changing for
Hazelhurst although the original ideas of connecting the community to
local organic food production is ever more important. In this context,
Hazelhurst Co-op has a lot of potential and we have been looking at new
directions it could move in. Nick, our grower for various good reasons
has decided that it is much better for him to run his own vegbag scheme.
He has really appreciated the start that Hazelhurst gave him as a new
arrival to Sheffield and he is really keen to continue the traditions of
community involvement. Nick has made an offer to Hazelhurst Coop to buy
our list of customers and so continue the vegbag scheme with its land
and community links. Kim, our part-time worker has just got a new and
exciting job with the Royal Horticultural Society and will leave in the
next couple of weeks. We are having leaving drinks at the Brothers Arms
in Heeley on Friday 15th April from 5.30 pm. PLEASE JOIN US THERE. At
the committee level there is very little resource and no new energy on
the horizon. We remain in a viable financial position. Nick will be
doing the packing and delivery of Vegbags on a very temporary basis so
that decisions can be made in a timely fashion. However, we do need to
make a short term operational decision fast. We have some proposals and
details of these will follow shortly and be discussed at a meeting on
Thursday 14th April at 6.30 - 8.30 at 104 Albert Road, S8 9RA. If you
can't attend but wish to contribute please phone us for a chat or email
We need to agree a short term plan and a sensible process for the longer
term. Details of our current thinking will follow. Joan 07505 129329
Yvonne 07879 697569 Renate 07943 297959 please let me know if you are
coming for numbers thanks
