Mark Ellis, the charity’s Head of Retail, says: “We’re really grateful to people who bring their preloved donations to us to sell in our shops because they enable us to raise vital funds to support local people affected by cancer. As we prepare to open our sixth shop, we’re looking for lots more donations – particularly good quality clothing, to sell. If you’re not sure what you can give, just think, ‘would I buy this from a charity shop?’ Is it sellable, safe, clean, complete and in good condition? If it is, we’d be delighted to receive it!” The charity’s shops receive many fantastic donations, Romsey & District Railway Modellers Society Annual Exhibition Sunday 3rd March when the parking is free. Romsey & District Railway Modellers Society are again holding their annual exhibition in the Crosfield Hall Romsey during the first weekend of March. There will be twelve layouts featuring all different scales and gauges. One of the highlights of this year’s exhibition is the twenty foot layout depicting Romsey railway station. This layout is unusually constructed from Lego and will certainly be of great interest to the younger visitors. The exhibition last March was a great success enabling the society to make donations totalling £1500 to local charities. The Romsey NHS First Responders are again providing first aid cover but will also be demonstrating CPR during the exhibition. Refreshments will be provided by a local cafe again and are of a high standard. The exhibition opens at 10.30am on Saturday 2nd March and 10am on One of the Romsey & District Railway Modellers Society layouts
