Silverdale Coop Fair trade wine evening a success

The Silverdale Gaskell Hall wine tasting evening last week was a great success by all accounts. The Cooperative let the attendees of the fairtrade event sample 6 types of wine - 3 white, 1 rose and two red wines, whilst explaining the origins and histories of the wines.

The event started with a brief introduction to the Co-op fairtrade team and what the evening would entail, wine tasting, feedback, history of the Co-op Fairtrade brand, DVD and quiz. It was then time to sample the 6 wines - A Pinot Grigio, Sauvion Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot Rose, Chillean Carmenere and an Argentinian Malbec. A short DVD presentation was shown halfway through the presentation, to space out the wine tasting. Throughout the whole tasting the fairtrade team were encouraging feedback on the wines - colour, aroma, taste, consistency etc.

After the tasting followed a short quiz and a thank you. A great night was had by all who attended.

A new lease of life for the Silverdale Co-op 'The Cooperative Silverdale'

The Silverdale Co-op has at last been finally revitalised, meaning a complete refit with a modern design and extended opening hours, a first for Silverdale, Lancashire.

Last year talks broke down due to indecisiveness from 'The Cooperative' on whether to go with the complete refurb, this threatened the whole project, however it was decided Winter 2009 that the Silverdale Co-op refurb should go ahead, this meant the people of Silverdale had to make do with a temporary version while renovations went ahead, this lasted just over 3 months.

The refurbished store re-opened on February 25th looking like a completely different shop, the new Co-Op now has Opening hours from 8am till 10pm, 7 days a week.

As you would expect the new shop has a whole new range of services including instore bakery, longer opening hours and larger ranges of fresh and frozen food, alcoholic drinks, tobacco and deli.
