Autumn 2005 Directory (Twenty Fifth Edition).

THE LISTINGS

Don't forget that wants will be included for only one issue of the Directory (or newsletter). If you would like your want to be a permanent entry clearly mark it so and it will stay in the Directory until you delete it. Everything should go in the Time Limited Section unless an entry is a permanent service, or a regular supply of produce, or items you sell all the time. Please help by keeping your entries current and relevant. If you are not sure about anything give 017 a ring, who will be pleased to advise. All temporary wants are new!.

W = a want. Wp = a permanent want. W/O = a service wanted and offered.
