Hello all! Just to say thanks to those who dropped by last Saturday. We collected $150 at the last SWOP!, and will be combining it with the leftover $50 from the SWOP #5 (we were unable to give it to Food From the Heart). So that’s a total of $200 we will be giving to Mercy Relief in aid of the Myanmar and Sichuan disaster victims.

Look out for the next SWOP! in Nov/Dec this year. Till then, start saving those clothes!

Hello all,

Just a quick note to say that we’ll be having our last SWOP! on June 14th. Don’t worry, we’re not going away forever! Just that things have gotten too busy (the curse of working life) and we feel that having fewer SWOP events spaced out over the year would be better. After all, there’s only so many times you can recycle or throw away stuff in your wardrobe in a year!

You can expect to see the next SWOP! at the end of this year. In the meantime, come join us for our June SWOP, where once again we will be joining forces with the good folks at Flea.Fly.Flo.Fun. Please help us make it a big one! This time, cash donations collected will go towards Mercy Relief’s efforts in Myanmar and Sichuan. We will also see if we can donate the leftover clothes to the victims as well.

Tell your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues about our SWOP! - it’s a good opportunity to help those in urgent need! And as a bonus, you get to springclean your wardrobe too

You know the usual: bring at least 5 items and pay $5 to join. More info at the FAQ page. And here’s the details!

SWOP! at Flea.Fly.Flo.Fun

Date: Saturday, June 14th

P.S. Don’t forget to join our Facebook group . And you can also tell us if you’re coming by RSVP-ing at the Facebook event for SWOP #6. Space reservations are NOT necessary but it’d be nice to know

Hello all! Just a quick note to say thank you to all those who stopped by SWOP #5. We collected $100, which will be split between Food from the Heart and Mercy Relief .  Look out for SWOP #6 in a few months’ time, so start saving up your clothes, books, accessories and other items!

Is the rising cost of living getting to you? Want to stretch your dollar when it comes to getting new clothes?

Then come on down to SWOP this Saturday at Home Club! We’ll be cosying up with our kind hosts Flea.fly.flo.fun at their monthly flea market. And this time, all proceeds will go towards Mercy Relief and Food from the Heart.

Hello Swoppers! 

Sorry for the long hiatus, but work got the better of me. I’m pleased to announce however that the next Swop is coming up very soon - February 16th, to be exact. And, we’ll be holding it at Home Club as part of Flea.fly.flo.fun’s flea market.

Hi all,

Just a quick post to say that:

1. We are on Facebook, so join the group and show your love!

Search for ‘We Love to Swop!’ in the Groups section, or if you’re already logged in, click on this link. (this is a Global network one, so anyone can join)

2. People have been asking if they need to register for this event. The answer is no, you don’t have to, as this time we’ll have lots of space. So bring as many friends as you like!

3. We are still looking for volunteers, if you’d like to help out please let me know! You’ll be paid a token $5 and get first dibs on stuff during your shift.

4. Tunnel Party is still going on as far as I know, but we’ll only know for sure next Friday thereabouts. Don’t forget to check your e-mail on Saturday morning for a final confirmation!

Thanks!!

Other Notices/Info:

- Part of the Substation’s month-long festival SeptFest, the Tunnel Party will be a carnival-esque event with flea market stalls, yoga lessons and rock gigs. Check out the details at the Septfest website.

- WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! You will be put on half-hour shifts, and basically help me sort out the stuff. Please email me for details.

- If you’re a newbie to SWOP, please read the FAQ section.

- Spread the good news! Forward this email to all your friends, and post this on your blog or your favourite forum! The more people who come for SWOP, the better the pickings for everyone

Hello all, just a quick clarification. In case anyone’s wondering, there will be no SWOP at the next Flea Fly Flo Fun event happening in August.

But fret not, we will be collaborating with the organisers for the Substation’s SeptFest, so watch out for that! This time, Swop will be held outdoors in a big carnival setting (don’t worry, there will be contingency plans in case it rains). Volunteers will be needed so for those who contacted me about helping out, I’ll let you know what the plan is as soon as details are confirmed. Stay tuned!
