Due to some unexpected circumstances around my health the twice monthly Book Sales in Congresbury War Memorial Hall will not resume until March 14^th and March 28th 2026.  In future the Book Sale will run between 10.00am and 12 noon.  Reasons will be explained to my regular customers in due course but are necessary as we start the 28^th year of the sales.

There will be reductions in price, which will benefit all buyers, as the items will be sold on a “Buy One Get One Free” basis on all stock. Similar reductions will also apply to Jigsaw Puzzles. Hopefully villagers will take advantage of all stock reductions.

The size of the village has been gradually rising. Many people may not realise that the hall is a registered charity.  They might like to take a look at what the hall has to offer, including Bingo, Badminton, Snooker, Rifle and Pistol Shooting and many others, when there is a Book Sale on.  

This is an open invitation to all to check us out.  Look forward to meeting you

Irving Prowse – Chairman
