Northern Club to host weekly car boot sales
HUNDREDS of bargain hunters enjoyed a sunny Sunday as the Northern Club hosted their first summer car boot sale.
The sports club, based at Moor Park, have scheduled a series of 14 consecutive weekly sales throughout the summer as they look to raise funds.
Last year the club’s cricketers enjoyed great success reaching four finals – including an appearance on Sky TV.
Cricketer Anthony Coyne, who has been the driving force behind the event, said he had been trying to organise the car boot sales for a number of years.
Mr Coyne said: “Sunday was a steady start for something we hope could grow and grow over the next few months and years.
“I’ve been thinking about doing it for a couple of years now as we have a fantastic facility at the back of the club which none of the cricket teams use on Sunday.
“It’s got access for cars and there is nothing else like it in Crosby so it seemed a good idea.”
For each event gates open at 9am for sellers, and to all visitors from 10am.
Catering and toilet facilities will be provided. The sales finish at 2pm.
Admission is free for visitors wishing to buy. Pitch fees for sellers are £10 for cars and £15 for vans (no HGVs).

ITV’S STORAGE HOARDERS IS BACK AND LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH BELONGINGS IN SELF STORAGE –
LIKE YOU!
Twofour Broadcast (Cornwall with Caroline Quentin, The Hotel Inspector) are producing series 2 of Storage Hoarders , presented by Aggie MacKenzie, for ITV.
Series 1 aired throughout December 2012 and January and peaked at 1.5 million viewers making it one of ITV’s best-performing daytime shows.
The show features self-storage customers who have accumulated a bit of a hoard under lock and key and would like help to de clutter their storage units as well as identify some interesting belongings and hidden treasures for auction.
Is your partner, family or friends nagging you to look at your storage situation?
Would you like some help to de-clutter and sort your stored belongings?
Could you “Skip it”, “Sell it”, “Give to Charity” or “Keep it”?
We’re looking for:
- Individuals/couples/families with items in storage that are no longer needed
- People who store belongings that are not welcome in the house
- Long-standing collectors with no space left in their home
- Those who have inherited items over the years
- Or people who just can’t let go of their stuff because it has sentimental value but currently have no place in the home
If this sounds like you or you know someone who fits the bill, please contact the Storage Hoarders team directly - they might be able to turn some of your possessions into hard cash!
Email via storageshow@twofour.co.uk or telephone 01752 727 675 (calls will be charged at your normal network rate)
CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 31/05/13
