AUCTION FUN - ONE MAN's TRASH IS ANOTHER's TREASURE!

Woolgoolga Rotary Auction of used household goods takes place the 1st Saturday of every month except January.  Location is the Rotary shed behind the CWA, next to the RSL club in Beach St (parking available behind the RSL club).  Smaller items are on sale in the shed from 10.30am and larger items are on display.  The auction of those larger items begins at 1pm sharp. In case of heavy rain the auction is postponed until the following Saturday (phone 0401 022 951 to check/confirm if travelling to attend). 

To donate goods for auction just drop them off to the shed verandah (call Dick on 6654 1828 or David on 6654 7700 to let them know first so they can arrange to store the goods inside the shed). PLEASE - no clothes, chemicals or housepaint, broken or non-working items - this is not a rubbish service and Rotary should not have to pay tip fees to dispose of your rubbish.  If you need larger items of furniture collected, phone and arrange a time with Dick or David.  Most importantly - come along and buy - funds raised go to worthy causes, mostly within our own community and we are helping to recycle useful goods - a win-win for the community.

NEWS FLASH:  THE MAY AUCTION WILL BE HELD ON Saturday 12 MAY and not the usual first Saturday of the month.
