Linda Downing, chairman of Buckland Monachorum Friends of Children?s Hospice, said: ?People have given us such smashing items, there really will be many, many bargains! ?We are really pulling out all the stops now to help build the second hospice.? Linda said there would be a huge variety of items on sale including china, glass, toys, pictures, videos, CDs, kitchenware, linens, and for the first time, the group is holding a jewellery stall.
