Players Please writes:
On Sunday October 3, neighbours will have a chance to delight others with the things they no longer need and celebrate the change of the seasons with Halloween costume competition and many other games and prizes.
Just set up a stall outside your front door and you’re good to go! Don’t have anything to sell – don’t worry! Just go for a stroll in the neighbourhood to join in on the fun.Participants are asked to consider donating part of it to support the Players Please D8 Residents Association. All funds will be used for the judicial review regarding the proposed over-development of the former Player Wills factory and Bailey Gibson sites.
Register your stall here

In fairness.
