St Olav

Blogging time this week as been directed at establishing a new web site for our new bookstore.  The chain that ran a Christian bookstore in town had got into difficulties and was closed down by the charity commission in August.    Some people in the city formed a new trust to open and run an independent Christian Bookstore and resource centre, and I agreed to become a trustee.

The bookstore is in an old church building - the oldest building in the city - and has been let to us at a peppercorn rent by the diocese.  We've got a cross section of trustees from churches in the area, and are looking to provide a range of literature to suit a variety of styles.

Yesterday we opened and had a good day of sales - a promising start.  There is quite a bit of excitment that there is a shop back in town!

Now the 'website', which is another  blog, needs some redesigning to make it in to a proper website.  A new adventure for my (limited) technical skills...
