Bolton Canopy - 12th March 2011
It was an early start for me on a Saturday Morning, having to be in Bolton at 8.30AM, to unload the boxes of stuff from the van, for our first white elephant canopy on a Saturday.
As you can see from our photographs we had plenty of book and clothes, as well as records and other assorted bric-a-brac.
As usual I was amazed at what people were buying, but I suspose what I might consider to be rubbish and not worth buying, is useful and has value for another person - it certainly seemed so on the day.
Yet again, we had fun trying to sell strange objects with little perceived value. The prize for best selling technique going to Lion Tony Murphy, who when asked the question 'Have you got anything religious?' in mid afternoon, tried to sell a very unflattering green coloured vase that looks like a radiator. Needless to say he was not successful.
My daughter bought some LP's (even though at that point we did not have a record player!), but the covers do look good on her wall. Thanks also to Lion Tom Slattery for buying her a hockey stick, which will come in useful as protection when she goes to college!
Thanks to all Lions and ladies who were there on the day.
