After the great success of last year's sale of quality ladies clothes it was decided to have another, this time to be held in our house in Banchory. For weeks before hand the ladies collected clothes, shoes and jewellery from friends and acquaintances so that once again there was a huge range for sale.

In the week leading up to the sale our house was turned into the Banchory branch of Harvey Nicks with the ladies working hard to organise everything.

The local scouts lent us rails,as did friends, to hang the clothes and ASDA gave a large number of hangers. Every room on the ground floor was utilised while two bedrooms upstairs were set aside as fitting  rooms.

On the day of the sale a large number of people attended from 10.30 am to 5.00 in the afternoon. I was delegated to 'refreshments' dispensing tea and coffee and cakes in the kitchen while the ladies acted as sales assistants or sold raffle tickets.

Once again the event was a great success, raising £3000 with some donations still trickling in. Surplus stock was donated to the Red Cross, Voice charity shop in Banchory and to the Rotary. A huge thank you is due to all the ladies who worked unstintingly for the children of Uganda and to all those who generously donated prizes for the raffle.
