Used Christmas Cards

What do you do with yours?

If you throw them out then please don't!

I would like to recycle them to raise funds for Tulips so please hang on to them and if you are near Chateau Lambousa on Saturday mornings please drop them off at our stall which is just outside the rear entrance near the indoor cafe.

Alternatively if you cannot get to Chat Lamb, I will try and arrange a few drop off points and will post further details on here.

Many thanks everyone.

Marion,

Great idea, even if I am not there Barb will take them in for me (I am sure even though I have not asked her yet!)

I am seeing Barb today so will ask if it can be officially stated that cards can be left there. Maybe you could get a similar arrangement at Soyz?????? anyway, folk, I will find out. I am sure \barb will say Yes, because she is like me who has a signature tune that goes 'I'm just a girl who can't say no - I'm in a terrible fix...' (do you know that one!

Anyone visiting or passing the Pine Bay Car Boot Sale on Sunday mornings can drop off old used cards with Barb and Mo, thank you.

Yes Marion, good idea!

I was going to suggest Soyz too - at least somewhere East of Girne in the Catalkoy/Karaman/Ozankoy region.

St. As were still selling "reused" cards this year, so presumably still collecting. They also ask for used stamps - but only foreign or pictorial ones, not the plain Royal Mail ones.

You are all welcome to drop them at the car boot, and if you are not a usual boottie, you may decide it is worth a weekly visit, the sun always shines on the car boot in Alsancak, so come on help these hard working girls of good deeds and drop your cards down to us on Sunday!
