Bargains bagged at boot sale...

4/6/2021

A grand total of £530 was raised for Maidenhead Rotary Club as visitors to Taplow car boot sale flocked to ‘bag a bargain’ over the bank holiday weekend.

Yvonne Johnson-Mullin, Cathie Lodge and club president Mary Spinks manned a stall selling donated pre-loved designer and vintage bags, scarves, belts and costume jewellery.​

Called Bag-a-Bargain, the project is the brainchild of Yvonne and was originally intended to take place just before Christmas in the Nicholsons Centre in Maidenhead.

But Covid-19 lockdowns thwarted the initiative until Yvonne hit upon the idea of setting out her stall at the outdoor Taplow car boot sale on Sunday and Monday.

She said: “We had two brilliant days. Mary and Cathie were superstars. The more seasoned traders were very welcoming and helpful too and some even donated things to sell at future events!”
​
The even better news is that the team still has plenty of stock left and now plans to set up shop again at a charity event at North Maidenhead Cricket Club on Saturday, July 10.
