Garage Safari - 7th October
2007 How was it for you? I refer of course to the Garage Safari and Charities' Table
Top Sale. We had a great day, the sun shone, browsers came and went and some
bougnt and of course the garage got sorted out. We discovered the colour of the
walls and that Uncle Bill, missing since 1958, must have gone off to the Congo
and had not gone to look for the nail tin in the garage, as Aunt Bertha had
always claimed!
We would like to thank the map sponsors free distribution proved
very successful. By the end of the day most legitimate participants had sold at
least some of their nick-knacks and the Village Hall had to send out for more
supplies as the hungry browsers descended like locusts. Hmm, those Bacon
Butties!
The only sour note to the day, from the organisers' point of view, was
the person who opened her garage and rode on the back of the advertising but
refused -quite abusively, to pay on the day.
Next year we are planning to hold
two more safaris and for each we also want to incorporate a Table Top Sale in
the Village Hall along with their catering miracles. For those who like plenty
of notice we are planning one for early April and the other for early October.
There will be some tables in the Hall for private individuals in addition to the
Charity Tables. If you have any ideas of how we can improve the advertising,
organisation or anything else please drop a note in at the address at the end of
this piece*. For instance, would you prefer a Saturday or Sunday safari?
