The end of season is a happy time for a few people but sadly it means months of unhappiness and loneliness for some of our staunchest supporters who faithfully turn up to our sales just to be amongst other people and enjoy their company. We know of so many customers’ buyers and sellers who feel that the Car Boot Sales are such a very important part of their lives, they get rid of their loneliness feelings as soon as they arrive to their ‘family’ community car booty.

We have been told by people suffering from severe depressions and lack of confidence within the community but that they feel in a ‘safe place’ at their Car Boots ‘whereas nowhere is really that safe nowadays’
When you consider about being part of the COMMUNITY you will find there are no similar activities that can compare with the atmosphere at ALL Car Boot Sales throughout Cornwall. Nothing compares! The Councils offers absolutely nothing that they can claim will unite people more than all the Car Boot Sales so why don’t we ask them to consider giving us grants to build an all-weather indoor building for up to 200 sellers twice weekly Car Boot Sales and other COMMUNITY events.

The Council should also take into consideration the massive recycling our customers do at our sales which is of great value to the local Environment.
So this winter we will operate as many sales as possible and hope that the Council may in time approve a COMMUNITY HALL for the people! We did have one once called The City Hall which then became The Hall for Cornwall which is more like for the posh Theatregoers where it costs an average of £25.00 for a ticket for a two hour show! It costs 50 p to come to my Car Boot Sales what a bargain!

And then you get two days like Tuesday and Thursday and you think, sod it!
