Changes to Winter Swapsies

Our Winter Swapsies event has been locked in for Saturday the 23rd of July from 9.30am - 1.30pm at the Bega Scouts Hall, Gipps st Bega! Make sure you write this date in your diaries as it is only 3 and a half weeks away!

We have made some changes to fine tune things and make the event run as smoothly as possible. Please read through these so you are aware of the differences from last time.

The entry fee is now $7.
Drop off location in Bega has moved to Tribal Interiors, which is just down from sportspower at 239 Carp st. Also there is no longer a Tilba drop off point. Abraxas Merimbula will still be collecting, as will Carly in Cobargo-please call to arrange a time- 64936822.
The amount of items exchangeable has been reduced to 15.
Pre-event drop offs and on the day screenings will both start at 9.30am, the advantage of pre event drop offs is that you will be on our "VIP" list and will go straight through to the "shop" and not have to wait in any queues!
The exchange will be seperated into two sections and you will only be able to swap adults clothing for adults clothing and kids for kids.
And....this time we are introducing an after event special where if you don't have anything to swap, you can come along at 12.30pm and sort through our leftovers and take as much as you like, with entry fee still being applicable.

If you are new to Swapsies or to refresh your memory, scroll down and read all the details of how the event works and if you have any queries or suggestions, please feel free to contact Sara or Carly-

We look forward to sharing another awesome, ethical, green and fun event with you!

Swapsies Returns!

After the great success of our first mass clothng exchange event in December 2010, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a " Winter Swapsies".
We are very excited as there has been such a lot of wonderful feedback about our first Swapsies and it seems there are a lot of people in and around the Bega Valley who are keen to support this concept.
Now we just need to spread the word.......the more people we get involved, the more clothes there will be to choose from, and the more exciting it will be for everyone!

So now is the time to go through that wardrobe and think "If i haven't worn this in over a year, chances are i'm not going to".... and swap it for something you will wear!

Date of event is to be advised, but at the moment we are thinking late July sometime, so watch this space!
