New Stock in the Shop



This is an interesting article and adds support to a suggestion made by our web designer, Steve Hooker, that we put our temple shop online.

It's cheaper to run and makes more money than a physical store. At least that's what we're led to believe by reading this article.

Off to work, the eBay way [The Age Technology Headlines]
