Unfortunately we are unable to receive goods before the event so please bring them on the day of sale, – the earlier the better! Donations can be received from 10:00 am on the Saturday.
To reiterate, everything donated needs to be in good, saleable condition – and as I wrote above, clothes need to be clean! If you have any queries, please contact Michael Lambe at: m.0.luain.23[at]gmail.com

Oh, and by the way – it’s going to be FUN! Don’t forget to invite your friends!
DIRECTIONS:
From Demachiyanagi Station head east. You will pass Heming Sports Club on your right and on your left, there is a broad area of azalea hedge. Turn left at the hedge! Go straight up until you see a small tobacco shop directly in front of you. Take the road to the left of the shop and go up again. You will pass a temple on your right and then another temple on your left. Just a few steps further on your right is the Iki-iki Shimin Katsudou Center. There is a kindergarten on the ground floor. Go up to the second floor and we are at the far end of the building in Room 3. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Hello! I live in Kyoto and I would like to know how I can participate in this sale. I have a few things on the list I could sell. Could you tell me what I need to do to have a spot there? Thanks!
Hi there, Angela! Just come along on the day and we’ll sell them for you! If you want to sell them yourself, then we can give you some space too.
OK great! I’ll just show up then. Thanks!
