Compton Dando Oil Group – CDOG Co-ordinated oil purchasing

'for local people'

From work on the Five Villages Parish Plan and the good example of Chewton Keynsham we are setting up an oil buying group in Compton Dando

Our aims are:

  • To help reduce traffic on our roads with pre-organised community delivery days
  • To increase our buying power through bulk purchasing.

We aim to buy oil 3 times a year. The way the system will work is that you give an estimate of how much you need to fill your tank, or a fixed quantity that you wish to buy. We add all the figures together, and then negotiate the best price we can get from a range of local suppliers and place the order. 

As the price is fixed each day, it is not possible to give you advanced information of the price, but it will be the best that we can get.  No commissions or expenses are charged: the same price will be paid by all .  

Every member gets their own bill when their oil is delivered. The only rule of the group is that we all make prompt payment as this helps in obtaining a competitive price.

If you wish to join, please download the form here

So all you men out there get out your recipe books! All ladies who have been sent this email, would you please alert your partners, and any male friends in the villages whom you think may be interested in competing.
