We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who came along to our inaugural #foodiefundraiser tasting evening last week - for helping us raise over £1000 for The RNLI!The evening was a tremendous success, and as we still have some donations coming in, it looks like the final amount raised will be nearer £1,100.
The food and wine suppliers were delighted with the interest and feedback they were getting for the produce they sampled, and from our perspective, the evening really did open people's eyes to the range of produce we stock in the shop.
There were lots of comments like 'I didn’t know you stocked that' and 'gosh, your malt whisky prices are really competitive' and that’s exactly what we hoped for – people coming in and browsing round the shop with fresh eyes.
For those who want to donate further to the RNLI, you will be happy to know that our goodwill didn't stop at our #foodiefundraiser. Over the next few weeks, customers can continue to show their support by purchasing wines from a specially labelled range, with 50p for each bottle sold going to the RNLI.
Once again, thank you so much to everyone who came along on Thursday evening, it is hugely appreciated.
We would also like to thank those who were not able to attend but made a donation, the Inverurie fundraising branch of the RNLI and of course our fabulous suppliers; Claire Rennie from Berry Scrumptious, Alan, Alan and Fiona from Downies Fish, Gordon and Shona Presly from Presly Butchers, Nicky Groat from Devenick Dairy, Dianne Smith from JG Ross and Pulsetta, and John Chalmers from Enotria Wines.
