Nearly New Sales

We are excited to have a new volunteer Nearly New Sale Coordinator joining us. As some of our old-timers are stepping down, we need new volunteers in order to keep running these events. If you could help with the summer sale, please get in touch at [email protected]. Any help is gratefully received and does not require much time commitment. Don't forget, volunteers get first dibs on the goodies at the pre-sale!

Due to an abundance of tabletop sale providers in the local area, the branch will now be focusing our efforts solely on ‘ticketed’ sales, in which sellers label up their items with a description and price and, on the sale day, branch volunteers sort items into various categories (eg. toys, equipment, clothes, etc.) This

Thank you to all the sellers, buyers and volunteers who made our November Nearly New Sale a success. Our next sale will be held in June 2018, again at St John’s Church, Eden Park. Back-pats especially to Shenay, Tracy, Lindsey and Julie!

means buyers can head straight to the sections they are interested in, while sellers don’t require a table full of goods to sell, or even to attend on the day. A small registration fee is charged but otherwise sellers only pay commission on the items they sell.

As always, big thanks to Big Yellow Storage Beckenham for supporting the branch - without their help we could not hold any events. You can get 10% off their storage by quoting ‘NCT’. Thanks also to Starbucks West Wickham (who hold NCT Parent Friendly status) for supplying the coffee which is much appreciated.
