Drover's Holidays and the Cheese Market

Back in November, Drover's Holidays moved out of the little shop by the Blue Boar. I assumed that they'd move back in when spring came, but I passed by today and found that the shop is now occupied by a new pet shop. Drover's Holidays is still trading, however, and have some new flyers out advertising the holidays they offer.

Meanwhile, it seems that something is finally going to happen about the Cheese Market. The building is listed. It was built in around 1835, and the town council have met in the upper room, as well as the followers of the preacher who later had the chapel now known as Globe Gallery built for him. More recently, the Camera Club met there, though they've now moved to Open Door. The building is seriously in need of maintainence - and now there's going to be a meeting in Shepherd's on Thursday evening at 8pm to talk about what to do about it.

It's going to be a busy evening for me - Stitch and Bitch are meeting earlier in the evening at the Swan to decide what to do with all the membership dues we collected last year. A coach trip (or at least, a mini-bus trip) to the Collinetts shop in Newport has been suggested.
