Are you a Brightonian? Are you a parishioner of St Mary Magdalen Church? Are you neither Catholic, nor interested in any way in the Church, preferring to think of it as an outdated institution that exists only to irritate you and brainwash others, but need a clear out of your stuff?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes then you, yes you, could really be of assistance to the Building Restoration Fund of St Mary Magdalen's Church, assisting in the renovation of a beautiful Grade II listed building in the heart of Brighton. If you've got a load of stuff you now consider not particularly useful, don't throw it away! Give it to us!
St Mary Magdalen Church will be hosting a Car Boot Sale on Saturday 29th August where stuff will be sold. Proceeds will go towards the Building Fund to return the Church to its former glory.
CDs, books, DVDs, jewellery, crockery...anything, really, that you don't want anymore, drop St Mary Magdalen's a line and a special envoy from St Mary Magdalen's will come and pick up your unwanted stuff and shake you firmly by the hand, while asking Heaven to shower good things upon you and all your loved ones. You could also receive a small piece of vintage 60s lino from the Church stuck on a piece of card, as a keepsake and memento. Yes, it's true! You could own a piece of a Grade II listed Church! Your donations would be much appreciated.
Alternatively, if you have a car and would like to sell your goods and make some cash for yourself on the day, setting up starts at 8am and spaces cost £15 per car/£30 per larger car or minivan. For info: stmarymagoffice@googlemail.com

Have you thought about sticking one of your lino squares on ebay and trying to whip up some publicity among the bloggers?

Good idea...will mention it to Father.
Great comment regarding ebay! I remember reading that someone put a Tesco plastic bag up for sale on ebay - and sold it too! People will buy anything if it's made inviting enough.
I've got a piece of the Berlin wall on my fridge door brought back by a friend. Some enterprising chap obviously saw the potential when the wall came tumbling down and thought 'Ah yes fridge magnets!!'
