Preloved Market 28 September at Hall

On 28 September, the Gently Loved Market will hold a sale of preloved baby gear in the Massey Birdwood Settlers Hall.

They are calling on people to register if they want to run a stall on the day.

The writer of this story is now a grandparent; however, is well aware that as a parent and a grandparent, you often have lots of baby gear, clothing, toys, equipment and other accessories, and so on that serve their purpose through the formative years, in some cases for a few children, and now having been passed down the generations is ready to help another family.

In some cases, buying new is expensive when you consider that babies outgrow things in weeks, months, and within a year. Therefore, buying second-hand is possibly a good option for all those Mums and Dads looking forward to their first child. So could be worthwhile visiting the hall on the 28 September to check out what is on offer. The market will run from 10 AM to 1 pm. You can book a stall at gentlylovedmarkets@gmail.com.

The Massey Birdwood Settlers Association is looking for regular users to hire our hall; check our website, www.masseybirdwoodsettlers.org, or email John Riddell at masseybirdwood@gmail.com.

Other activities held in the hall for young people include the Redhills Community Kindergarten, Baby Sensory Classes, and St John Massey Youth Group. You can check out these groups and organizations on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/masseybirdwoodhall.
