2008 GIANT BOOK FAIR The Giant Book Fair is a project of the Rotary Club of Galston. It is one of the major fund raising activities for the club, with the funds raised being used to support many worthy causes and local community needs.In 2008 the Book Fair raised over $26,000 for community and Rotary projects such as the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Galston High School and the Rotary Mental Health Research Foundation.The organisers of the Giant Book Fair would like to thank the public for their generous donations this year.This year’s Book Fair was be held at the Dural Memorial Hall, 604 Old Northern Road Dural (near Vinneys Lane / Redfield College) on Saturday 26th July and Sunday 27th July, 8:30am to 5pm. A clearance sale started at 3pm on the Sunday.Once again it was a huge event with many thousands of books including special ones. As usual there was The Collectors’ Corner as well as a pre-1950s section, with books going back to the 1800s, both of which are always busy places to browse for that special bargain. Altogether there are over 50 easy to find categories of books, including the children’s room, all at bargain prices. For information on books please call Shirley on 9653 3062. In addition to books there are lots of quality games and jigsaws and hundreds of records, videos and DVDs. The Rotary Club of Galston once again wishes to thank the community for donations of books, records, CDs, videos, DVDs, games, jigsaws, and instructional magazines.For further information, email bookfair@galstonrotary.org.au, or contact Harley Newham on 9656 1401 (a/h) or Bob Spence 9656 1611 (b/h) / 9656 1633 (a/h).
