Rummage Appeal

From the Group Chairman

Hello good Parents,

*****PLEASE ACTION THIS*****

Now, trusting that you had an enjoyable Summer Break and that you and your children will soon be
starting to think about Christmas, we now present the perfect opportunity for you to dispose of all the
old and no longer used or required items of clothing, toys or general sundries.

We speak, of course, of our ever-popular and ‘coming up soon’ GRAND RUMMAGE SALE! This
is the perfect opportunity to have an early ‘Spring Clean’ and sort out all the items you have at home
or in the garage, shed or attic THAT YOU NO ALSO LONGER WANT TO USE. and then just think
of the amount of extra room you will have!

As you would have read in your Red Border, from the last SALE which was very well attended, we
achieved a total of £580 - which was put to VERY good use for the benefit of all the children in the
Group.

So, please start now and see just what you can start sending down NOW to the HQ.
Some ‘content’ has already arrived but we do need a lot more - particularly clothing and linens etc -
so by bringing some of the items listed here down to the Hall each week, you will help to increase the
quantity of

Men’s, ladies and children’s clothing and shoes
Handbags of all shapes and sizes
Linen, curtains, fabrics and the like
Toys, games, books, records, CD’s, DVD’s
General bric-a-brac including china, glass, jewellery, garden tools, lamps, wooden bits
(but NOT furniture!), pots and pans, plates, old radios, portable TVs, kettles, teas-maids, cases, vases,
etc., etc.

Please start bringing any of these items NOW for storage in the Annexe prior to sorting and displaying
on Thursday 11th November and then sold from 10.30 am on Saturday 13th November.

This is your ideal opportunity for a good ‘clear-out’, giving you at home the benefit of more space
and the Scout Group the benefit of essential extra funding - in 12 years over £7000 has been raised!

I promise you, any contribution you make is valuable and most worthwhile
.
Ian Banks, Group Chairman.

P.S. If you able or would enjoy to help with the sorting and/or selling, please do give
