Woking Scouts Hold Jumble Sale
May 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Woking 1st Scouts group have announced their annual jumble sale for 2009. The event will take place on the 3rd of June in Woking’s Christ Church. Punters can expect to be greeted with the largest selection of other people’s rubbish ever, with extra stalls being put up in the previously unused rear courtyard.
Scout Leader Ray Chambers has organised the event with help from local volunteers:
“We’re looking forward to making a record profit for ourselves this year. The formula is tried and tested – ask our Scouts to bring in their parent’s rubbish which we then sell on to the stupidest people we can find.”
A wide range of complete tosh will be available, with Ray’s highlights so far including a broken torch and half empty baked beans can. Although not confirmed, it is hoped the event will also feature a shell suit jacket manufactured in the mid 90’s.
Bargain-hunter Chris Jameson will be waiting for doors to open Saturday morning:
“I’ve withdrawn £5 from the bank, so I’m hoping to come back full to bursting with completely useless household waste. If I’m lucky I might even find an even stupider person later in the day to buy it off me.”
We asked Chris if he will be searching for anything special:
“Not really. I prefer rubbish without any sort of animal waste on it, but it all depends on the price.”
You can join in the festivities this Saturday in Woking with doors opening at 10 o clock.
