Hot off the back of our van, these fabulous fans are now up for grabs! The biggest ones are 1.45m diameter, and whilst you could fold them away… it would be a whole lot lot easier, not to. trust me on this one before you make your vehicle choice!

They start at £3 and max out at £5.

Let your dramarama departments know, they’d be fan tastic for a big stage set!

The Council are looking for volunteers to join their team of enthusiastic Master Composters, to promote home composting to the residents of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

This could be by assisting on a stand at a local event or show, giving a talk, writing magazine articles or providing composting demonstrations.

Full training will be given and volunteers are expected to contribute a minimum of 30 hours per year.  Travel expenses are paid and Master Composters enjoy free membership of Garden Organic.

At the risk of boring you, we’re still getting loads of fab new stuff in. Same old marvellousness, day in day out, hope you don’t find it too tedious!

Glorious Gloucester scrapstore, escaped the snow yesterday and visited us with a van full of goodies for swapping. Our chaps have also been out and about blaggin it and baggin it and bringin it back for you. So have a good squiz of the list, there are some real corkers this week.

These are a few of my favourite things…

• Snooker loopy nut are we! We have snooker table baize on the roll and it’s only £1 metre. There is more than enough to do a few tables.
• Sporty week we’s havin! We also have tennis ball fabric on the roll. Yep we do! It’s the fluro lemmony green stuff and very tough!
• Nylon/plastic tubing – About 10mm bore, various lengths.
• Corex type stuff. It’s black, plasticky and very much like corex and comes in pieces roughly 40cm x 90cm. Will stick a picci on our blog when I get the chance.
• Gorgeous upholstery fabrics are us this week! On the roll, cheap as chips and classy as!
• Paint by numbers may not be your bag but the canvasses may be. We have sooo many PBN kits now that we’re putting them out as part of your trolley. The canvasses can be painted over so easily. Need I say more?
• I will say more! Acryllic paints are all now in the main scrapstore! We need the space, so want to get them shifting. I could’ve said it’s cause we’re such a generous lot couldn’t I?
• Geotextile in big sheets aka weed suppressant!
• Bright coloured paper – smells lush! Cause it’s from Lush!
• Loads of bikes.
• Icecream tubs with lids.

Looking forward to your next visit already!
