This year at Car Boots Cornwall 10 locations;

Here are the details of this season’s CAR BOOT SALES which will help sellers and buyers plan their year. We are under increasing pressure to pay our Landlords respectable rents for the use of their Lands for which they are more than entitled to expect. We pay our staff realistic wages in the region of £10.00 per hour and we now have the burden to pay for a dog warden. I regret that at some of our locations we have increased the admission charges to cover our increased operational costs;

MONDAYS;
The only Car boot Sales we run on MONDAYS are on Bank Holiday Mondays at FALMOUTH RUGBY CLUB at 10.00 am and at TRURO Cattle Market at 1.30 pm. We will not increase the admission price at Falmouth because the club is a Registered Charity and we need less staffing for Falmouth. The price will be increased to £1.00 per person from Whitsun Bank Holiday on 29th of MAY at TRURO Cattle Market.

TUESDAYS:
We will hold Car Boot Sales at Newquay Circus Fields at 12.00 noon when the LANDLORDS prepare the grounds in readiness for our already late season. Admission price will depend on on-going negotiations with the Landlords.

WEDNESDAYS;
We will NOT be at Perranporth this year! We WILL start a new Car Boot Sale at CRANTOCK to cover the main school holiday period. Times and dates to follow. Admission price 50 p

THURSDAYS!
After the loss of PAR MARKET and the limited space available to us at Newquay Circus Fields I have decided to move the THURSDAY Car Boot Sales to The OLD MITCHELL location ‘just over the road’ at 12.00 noon. This location is in pristine condition and ‘ready to go’ on the THURSDAY after Easter. The admission price will be 50 p but this will be reviewed following negotiations with the Landlord.

FRIDAYS!
This is our 28th Year at Falmouth Rugby Club at 12.30 pm. Limited space! Sorry ‘No large vans or Lorries’ please. Falmouth is the local Community Car Boot Sale. The Rugby club is a registered charity therefore the admission price will remain at 50 p. Students, are great spenders on the Car Boot stalls especially those stall selling second hand clothes. The Students from the local Universities will be admitted FREE after 1.00 pm on production of their student card.

FRIDAYS;
The ROYAL CORNWALL SHOW-GROUND. We are ‘ON THE MOVE’ agreement has been reached for CBC to change our Car Boot days to FRIDAYS for 8 dates that do not conflict with any of the RCS other events. Times and dates to follow however the first one will not be until late June. Admission price to be decided following negotiations with our Landlords.

SATURDAYS;
We are currently at MITCHELL Trethvas Farm on Saturdays at 12.00 noon. However the Landlords (who are nice people) decision to have a NO DOGS ALLOWED policy is creating a real problem and here is the problem; Holidaymakers who come to Cornwall bring with them their family dogs, they arrive for their holiday on Saturdays so ‘let’s go to the Car Boot’ When they arrive at Mitchell they see the NO DOGS ban they also see our corporate identity on the advertising boards and that’s it they assume that all of our locations have the same policy and we have lost them as customers for the duration of their holidays. One family were so upset they cancelled their holiday here in Cornwall and moved on to Devon for the fortnight.

HAYLE Rugby Club have not only reduced some of their prices have also changed their policy on ‘dogs allowed’ because it was affecting their business. They have now allowed Dogs into their Car Boot Sales but Dogs MUST be on a Lead. With the exception of Trethvas Farm I will change all of our locations to “DOGS ALLOWED” but they are NOT ALLOWED in the selling areas! Come on you dog owners ‘pick up the poo’ or you could be instantly BANNED FFS!

SUNDAYS!
PENRYN Rugby Club; NEW TIME 8.00 am Date to follow!
We are shortly coming to the end of our winter season at TRURO Cattle Market, however we are still at Truro for BANK HOLIDAY MONDAYS at 1.30 pm. The recent buildings within the WAITROSE Development has caused us many traffic problems and delays due to the new set of traffic lights for those exiting Waitrose Car Park which are immediately outside of the Cattle Market. This causes immense delays for our customers wishing to enter and exit the Cattle Market.
SUNDAYS
We will move our SUNDAY CAR BOOT SALES to St COLUMB MAJOR at 1.30 pm the end of April for the summer period and we will return to the Truro Cattle Market in September. This could be the new MABE but with a nicer Landlord who has prepared this location in readiness for our sales. The admission price will most definitely be £1.00 per adult person (Kids are FREE)
Enjoy your Car Boot Sales at our locations we have FULL PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE cover for all persons who visit our Car Boot Sales, we thank you for your loyalty to Car Boots Cornwall for over 28 years!

And finally,
SHOW US YOU’RE TATTS!
We have been asked by some of our Tattooed customers to run a competition with prizes for the best ‘Tattooed Male and Female in the South West’ This is the sort of competition I would have run at Butlins of Pontins. Why ever not, those interested let me know. Marge was the first applicant. You should see her TATTS dear of her!
Geoff.
