This was the first of two GG Bexley sessions at the Community Hospice warehouse sorting donations this weekend.
When we arrived James from the warehouse team had lots of bags of donations ready for us to tackle.
We did well - got through two cages of clothes, and found many surprises. Highlights were the silver pair of shiny budgie smugglers🤣, a very unusual large soft toy badger with a smart coat 🦡, and a long animal tail-like thing which might have been a key ring (it was left in the office for investigation!)
One man had donated a full set of motorcycle leathers 🏍, and we had Rotary Club regalia as well.
Winter coats abounded - must be spring!
Afterwards it was a nice walk back home in the sun for me.
If you need a 1940s dress or a 1950s drinks bar, then No 16 is the place to go. Opened in 2013 the shop brings together antique and retro furniture, homeware and clothing under one roof. The site also houses the main warehouse for sorting donations.
