If you have old dothes for disposal, why not bring them there. Your contribution will help the parish and various charities. Currently people are leaving out bags of clothes at their houses to be collected by purely commercial operators & they rarely help significantly any worthy cause ~ despite what a few advertise! And other clothes banks in the village contribute only a very small amount to the charities they advertise. Please do not bring books, toys or any items other than clothes! Some historical facts put in relative terms. Dinosaurs were dominant three years ago, but by the following year they had become extinct. Three weeks ago, the first man emerged in Africa, using tools and walking upright. The last Ice Age ended two hours ago, the Industrial Revolution started two minutes ago and Four seconds ago man set foot on the moon.
