View Full Version : Ollies Fund - Car Boot Sale



Nelly

As part of the drive to raise cash for Ollie's fund. I intend to do a car boot sale at Castle Combe during the summer. The PR director at the track has given me permission to put a couple of bikes next to our table(s) to draw attention to it.
Now i have a few things that i can move on and hopefully raise a few pounds, but i need more! If you have been rummaging around lately and are on the verge of throwing out stuff that you no longer need, wait!!!!
If you would like to donate it to the car boot sale i will gladly take it off your hands. I will come and collect anything that you might feel you would like to offload or i will be at the H&C most Wednesdays and i'll take it off your hands there. Remember, your junk maybe someone else's treasure. Just send me a PM with a list of stuff you may have and your address and i'll come round and collect.
Also...if you would like to put your bike next to the table or help out on the day, drop me a line.
Thanks guys

I haven't got a list as such but would gladly pass some stuff over to you, this isn't bike or auto specific - any general stuff is fine too?

If you want to warn me if you are in Swindon in 4 wheels perhaps I can put some stuff together?

Nelly

Car boot sale is this Sunday morning. James has said he will help out for sure. Anybody else fancy getting up at stupid o'clock to get to the Circuit by 7.30?
We are allowed 2 bikes on the pitch which is at camp corner end. Who wants to bring a bike?
I have loads of stuff already to sell and i'd like to thank the following for the donations.
Bubblylittleme, Loops, Jacde, NickL, Wes, Jane, Les, Beemer and Bonnielass. If i have forgotton anyone, please forgive me. Big thanks also to Smellygerm for his van at the weekend. (promise i wont break it :))
Still looking for a couple of folding tables for the gig. If anyone would be willing to lend me one, please drop me a line.

Thank you to James, Tina, Lou Rosie and Kev for coming out on a sunday at stupid o'clock to help out. Especially to Lou, James & Tina for persisting as it was persisting. I honestly thought that it was going to be an utter disaster as the heavens opened and thunder and lightning roared around the area. Thank you for your encouragement.

We have just got back and emptied what was left of the stock back into my garage. Unfortunately some of it was absolutely ruined by the rain and will be heading straight for the bin. Such a shame after so many people donated. :(

But a fair chunk raised. :)
