“A free stall is being offered to anyone who for the first time would want to clear out their shed/garage of old motorcycle, car or tractor parts. This offer is only open to those who have not previously entered an Autojumble and strictly no ‘boot sale’ goods.

“In past years we have had some great stalls entered by enthusiasts doing shed clearances”.
