Details and Rules for "Swapsies for kids!"

Hello and welcome to our latest event...Swapsies- For kids under 12! This event is exclusive to children 12 years and under, and will work similarly to 'a mass clothing exchange', so if you are familiar with these events, then you will know what to expect! We have made a few changes to the proceedings to accommodate it being a kids event and one of the major differences will be no pre-event drop offs. Instead, we have organized the day so that all patrons arrive from 10am and have their items screened while enjoying morning tea and a Magic Show at 11am, finishing before 12pm for the swap!
You can also read our previous post titled " Another Swapsies" for extra details about how a mass clothing exchange works if you are not familiar with the procedure. This will give you an idea of what to expect and what is expected of you!
There will also be a poster at the event explaining rules for the day e.g. if two people want the same item and cannot come to an agreement, a Swapsies official will toss a coin to settle the dispute! etc...


 What to Swap:
* Items that are likely to be valued by someone else
* Items that are free from any damage
* Items that you have outgrown or no longer use. Kids- make sure you are ready to let it go!
* Items must be suitable for children under 12
* Items must be clean and in good working order

How to Swap:
* You may exchange up to 10 items of each books, toys and clothing
* We will screen items upon arrival to maintain quality, so be prepared to have some items rejected if we feel they do not fit the criteria outlined in "what to swap"
* Once your items have been screened, you will be issued with a ticket showing how many items of each category you may choose to take home with you!
* After you have checked in and you have your pass, you will be able to help yourself to some morning tea and find a place to sit for the Magic Show! And when the Magic Show is over and all items have been put out on display, you will be able to enter the Swapsies marketplace to "shop" for your goods!

We look forward to seeing you there!...
