Skye-Rhiannon Veech and Ash Toynton with their thank you plaque from Lions.
THE LONG-AWAITED Wellington Lions Preloved Book Far grand opening took place last Saturday, July 18 at its new location in the heart of the CBD.
The Book Fair’s new address is 9-10 Nanima Crescent and all the important dignitaries were there for the occasion including Federal Member for Calare Andrew Gee, State member for Dubbo and Wellington Dugald Saunders, Mayor Josh Black with deputy mayor Phillip Toynton, plus many Wellingtonians and other from surrounds.
Now in a larger, more easily accessible location, more books, DVDs/CDs and games are now on sale for visitors buying their next great literary find.
During the ceremony, Wellington Lions were also presented with a new jockey wheel and a bucket of goodies for the club’s new food van, donated by Repco Dubbo.
Lions wish to extend a large heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who helped move the book fair to its new ocation.
Without their help, the re-opening would not be possible.
The moving of all the stock and setting up of the new shop was completed in just two weeks, due to those massive efforts.
Lions also wish to thank the owners of the historic Kimbell’s Kitchen building for their support and use of the shop uring the past 12 months.
The Wellington Lions Pre-Loved Book Fair is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, whenever the lights are on, across from the Commonwealth Bank.
Walk in to find your next great read.
