3rd car boot sale

Chirk Car boot sale ( 19.1 miles distant)

Sunday 28/09/2014

Seller fee: £7 (The organization of the event allowed me to have a free stall as we were there for fundraising)

Money raised: £86

Getting up time at 4:45 am

Setting up time: 6:15

Leaving time: 13:30

We arrived and got a good spot near the entrance of the car boot sale, so there was lots of passers by. When we arrived it was dark but there were already customers walking around the stalls with torches. We set up two tables and quickly got out all our items as it became light.

The car boot there is very big with so many stalls which also attracts lots of buyers.

My husband was with me today as Grandma was looking after the boys. We took it in turns serving people. It was great fun.

There were lots of stalls selling similar items which seemed to reduce the amount we sold but we were lucky in that we did not have to pay for the pitch. One thing was good, one lady came and offered me a free stall in a Baby fair in Wrexham, that was great.

Again we were one of the last people to leave the sale as I am always hopeful that someone will still buy at the end and I can collect some more money for the charity.
