If you have some "stuff" to sell book a table inside the hall for $5, or sell your "stuff" from the car boot or trailer for $5 per vehicle.

If you only have a couple of items for sale, the hall committee will sell them for you at 10 per cent commission - all care, no responsibility! You will need to deliver items to hall and pick them up if not sold.

This could be a perfect time to have a good clean up and make some spending money for Christmas. The hall would accept donations of items in a clean and saleable condition that we could get dollars for such as books, kitchen wares, DVDs, CDs, ornaments, jewellery, craft, plants, produce, tools, or anything we could sell.

Phone Margaret for further information or bookings on 65567146.
