Saturday Bookstall in aid of Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers at the Copleston Centre on 13th January from 10.30 to 12.30
The first bookstall of 2018 is on tomorrow!
As always there will be a great selection of books, cds and DVDs, as well as delicious homemade cakes, Fairtrade coffee and good company.
The money raised can help people who have lost their home and country, and often friends and family as well.
The supporters are very generous and it is good to be involved in something positive which helps others, so why not pop along?
You might find that elisive, ideal early stock filler as Christmas gets closer and closer.
Doors open at 10.30 am & the event continues until 12.30 pm.

Due to the impending “Storm Brian” due tomorrow, the SE5 Forum stall at The Farmer’s Market on Camberwell Green will not be present.
If “Storm Brian” decides to take a different route, then the team will evaluate in the morning, so watch this space….!
