Nearly New Sales - How To Help

EVERYONE is welcome to help, members or non-members.

Helpers are needed for:

Saturday between 3.00pm - 6.00pm for setting up and seller drop off

• 3.00pm - 3.30pm set up hall
• 3.30pm - 4.30pm seller drop off

Sunday between 10am and 4.00pm for sale and clear up

• 11.30pm  sale opens for general public
• 2pm       sale closes
• 2pm - 4.00pm clear up and seller pick up

The saturday starts with set-up duties. These include laying out the tables and clothes rails, then unpacking and displaying clothes, toys and equipment, putting up signs, sorting seller boxes and preparing pay tables. This all needs to be finished by 6.00pm.

The sale opens at 11.15pm (nct members) and 11.30pm for the general public. Duties include collecting at the door, manning pay tables (nct members required), keeping the hall tidy and helping buyers with carrying items to the pay area and general enquiries.

Sale finishes at 2pm and then the clear-up duties commence. These involve sorting unsold goods into piles for sellers to collect, tidying the hall area and removing tables. We especially need people to help during sale and clear-up shifts

If you fancy getting involved with the nct and volunteering, it is important to contact me before the sale leaving your phone number or email address, as soon as you know you can help. I can then pre-allocate tasks and better plan the day.

To volunteer please email: nns.basingstoke@yahoo.co.uk indicating the day and times you are available to help.
