Every year the event has grown in popularity and this year’s event is creating keen interest. With the friendly atmosphere prevailing this is the ideal opportunity for anyone wishing to try car booting for the first time. Also it is the chance for local organisations to raise some funds. Many sellers will be returning for their lOth successive year.

As usual there will be a Coffee Morning in the adjoining hall with no admission charge for either event. So whether you are looking for a bargain; browsing around or fancy some nice home baked goodies please support this event.

It is hoped other sale organisers will not clash with this date.
