Introducing — Club Night Pilot Project
Table for ski/snowshoe related clothing or gear to give away/ trade/ or sell
Feel welcome to bring up to 3 snow related items you wish to give away, sell, trade. Your name and phone number will be tagged on the item to facilitate sales/trades—the deal is you MUST take home your own gear at the end of the night if it does not sell, trade, or get picked up. Please do not leave it for someone else to deal with.
This is a pilot idea—help make it a success!
We are open to ideas about creating an online buy and sell forum. Anyone with knowledge or expertise please connect with Anne through web@theskiers.ca, Attn: Anne
Come to the Club meeting, meet up with fellow members… share stories, ask questions, and enjoy!
