JayC Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi All. I have a number of hard backed novels which I would like to donate to a local hospital or charity, the books are in excellent condition and would look good on any book shelf. I am happy to deliver if its needed. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayC Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I have just spoken to St Roccos , they are struggling with space so can only take the books in dribs and drabs so the search continues, so anymore suggestions please.

Dizzy Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Flippin heck....how many have you got You could always put them on the 'Warrington Freecycle' site. You 'offer' them (for free of course as it's all about recycling and finding new homes for stuff rather than going to landfill etc) and could even say 'for local charity'..... people who want them email you through the site and you chose who to give them too. It's a great site and great for getting rid of anything even bulky stuff.......and even better things usually go within a day You have to register as a member though and all the members are in Warrington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Dismayed. There are around 90 books , the lady said she could handle a few at a time, so I will look at the recycle site you mentioned, but I would prefer them to go to a charity. Does anyone know if the hospital league of friends still exists, maybe they would take them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 you could to a book sale at the Warrington Town charity game on October 5th at the ground and split the proceeds with the two local charities and the club! We could ask other fans to donate good quality books and make a real good fund-raiser out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 John - I have sent you an email via the forum button - just checking you have received it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi Gary. I got your email. I can do the 5th so will arrange to get there for 1(ish) as for the books , nothing of any value just some great novels which I reckon should go for a couple of quid each, the Tommy Smith Biography should fetch a few bob with Eagle , Wolfie, Busby and Keith R going head to head in a bidding war.
