At risk of sounding like a church WI meeting but I don't know what else to call it, I'm floating the idea of a Bring and Buy sale to raise funds for TSR. This would be either a one off or an annual event.
My initial thoughts are to spend a designated week setting up stall and then opening the doors, so to speak, one Sunday morning.
Ah! A Car Boot Sale.
Members would donate items and indicate a price, including postage and fees during the week - so hopefully, we'd finish up with a bunch of photos of items for sale. Members could browse these items in preparation for the doors/car boots opening.
We'd open for business at a set time and members would buy on a first come, first served basis - the first post offering the full asking price wins the item.
So the whole thing depends on generosity. Paul could donate his Weck Surgical, for instance.
Is this idea worth pursuing? I'll count answer in the vein of No, Yes - donating and Yes - buyer.
I think we would have to agree to abide by BST Rules and hopefully not need them.
