Small Business Saturday

I'm sorry to hear that the Forge Gallery on the Craft Centre will be closing at Christmas.
Also closing is Hey Hair, as the bay window which was damaged by a car crashing into it last year has still not been repaired. According to the B&R there have been problems with the insurance claims. The hairdressers from Hey Hair will be going mobile in the New Year.

Meanwhile Haystacks in Backfold has also featured in the B&R, this time as a success story! They were celebrating the resurgence of interest in vinyl records. They have just moved to new, larger premises, all of 12 yards from their old shop. The shop also features in a new music video. Les Penning and Lou (oops, should be Robert!) Reed have made a lovely little film to go with a new recording of In Dulci Jubilo, which is set in Hay. It can be found on YouTube.
There are also builders working in the shop which used to be Boz Books. For the Winter Festival, the new owners put an art display in the window, and now they're re-shaping the shop to their own requirements. It will be interesting to see what they do with the place.
