Book sale hoping to go ahead in April

Message from Sue Glibbery at Poorpaws
Hallo Faithful Booklovers !

I'm getting in touch to tell you that, barring any new confinements, your favourite Book Sale will be taking place the weekend of 10th/11th April.

As usual it will be at the Salle des Fetes of St; Pantaleon, (Lot), starting at 10am and finishing at 14.30.  I am busy sorting through hundreds of books and can promise you that we have some really fabulous books in great condition !  Do I say that every time ?  Yeah, probably, but I promise you it is true.  As last time, anti covid regulations will govern, masks MUST be worn, there will be a one way system in the hall and hand sanitizers will be plentiful.  We are restricted to the number of people allowed inside - hopefully more than last time - but, as last time, and weather permitting, there will be tables to browse outside.  Please use the village car park which is a two minute walk away and well signposted. Prices have not changed, all books are at one euro, as are dvds, with boxed sets being 50 cents per disc.  Cds, 50 cents.

We CANNOT accept books on the day, so please get in touch with me if you have books to donate. We have sufficient cookery and coffee table books for this sale.  I know you won't mind me saying that books must be in a good saleable condition.

Our fabulous cake team has their mixing bowls at the ready and we are hoping to put them back in the main hall this time so you can better see the delicious choices on offer.  We will not be able to offer lunches but can highly recommend Nina's tasty samosas if you fancy something savoury.

I really do hope that you all feel safe enough to come - hopefully many of us will be vaccinated by then !  We really appreciate your support, at the moment bills are being paid  out of personal savings, which is fine, my choice to keep the unadopted dogs, so I assume, but 600 euros vet fees over the last couple of months is a bit of a choker apart from other expenses.

We do our best to make it a pleasurable outing for all you avid readers and, judging from feedback, we succeed, so your Book Team looks forward to welcoming you all again in April.

Love,
Sue x
