The first clothes swap of autumn meant lots of summer shirts and dresses being swapped for warmer clothing. The three of us got our steps in putting out the new stock and keeping the place tidy. After an hour and a half, the numbers died down and we were able to depart with a job well done.

The queue was as long as ever for the first summer clothes swap! We helped the other volunteers put out the clothes and generally keep an eye on proceedings, while picking up a couple of nice pieces for ourselves at the same time. A lovely morning at this great community event!

Just two of us helping the usual volunteers at the clothes swap this month. Jenna asked us to look after the café so we got to work washing up, making teas and dishing out biscuits to the throng of clothes swappers. Leanne was placed in charge of the music and collated an eclectic playlist of songs about clothing, some more appropriate than others for the vibe of the room.

Two goodgymers helped at community clothes swap. We liberated dresses, shorts and lots of other clothes from previous owners and created some new clothes joy :).

into March already and another Acomb Clothes Swap. To spice things up this month, we were asked to cover the hot drinks as well as putting out clothes so both me and Penny spent some time in the kitchen preparing coffees, teas and squash.

It was Max's first time at the clothes swap but he was in his element. With a relatively small turnout of customers, putting out clothes assumed a competitive edge as we all tried to get the clothes as soon as they were on the hangers. It meant we also had plenty of time to catch up and drink tea and biscuits 😁

After an hour and a half with the customers dropping off we went our separate ways. Penny and Leanne even got to take home a few finds to refresh their spring wardrobes.

Back at the clothes swap once again for more sorting, stock rotation and generally keeping the venue looking good. Our team of three was able to keep things running smoothly as a steady stream of swappers came through the doors and exchanged their clothes.
