Held on Sunday 30 June at the Northam Town Hall it was an opportunity to have a browse, pick up some free or low cost items, catch up with friends and if you were selling - what a day!!! There were kids selling their toys for extra pocket money and all the sellers were very happy with what they managed to sell or freecycle. It was well supported by the community, thankyou to everyone who attended and yes, there will be ano#ther later this year. We’ve a few other community projects on the radar. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.. Were you there? What did you think??
