STAFF and volunteers at the Week St Mary Community Shop and Post Office celebrated one year of successful trading on Saturday.

The cake, made by Hillside Bakery and decorated by Lorraine Sachs, was cut by Citizen of the Year, Joyce Orchard and Harvest Queen Jade Luxton.

Mrs Orchard congratulated the staff, volunteers, committee and community on the success of the shop and Post Office in its first year.

The community took control of the shop and Post Office following the retirement of the previous proprietor.

A tremendous effort by the community resulted in the successful takeover and they were pleased to gather to mark the first birthday.
