On Easter Monday morning she has the chance to fill a trolley with up to £250 worth of groceries at the Warwick Saltersford branch of the national chain.

Rotary President, Bernard Beadle, said: “This was the eighth such event arranged by the Club and we are pleased that after expenses have been paid in excess of £1,200 will be used to support local charities. Since the Grocery Grab began approaching £ 14,000 has been raised and for this we have to thank Sainsbury‘s for their assistance and the general public for their continued support and generosity.”

On the right, above, Colin and Derek have just taken over from Peter and Zig, but even as Zig is finishing he manages one last sale.  In the right hand picture below Colin’s banter succeeds in causing the customer entering  to buy tickets.
