Here's a new idea for the Giddings website. A village LENDING scheme.

Michael Trolove has put forward the suggestion for a village lending scheme.

Everyone's got books, CD's, DVD's, videos, that they have read or watched once or twice. Why not lend it out to someone else in exchange for that item that you've umm'd and ahh'd about buying knowing you'll watch or read it once then put it away on the shelf.

Ideas for items to LEND/BORROW include:
• Latest paperbacks/hardbacks, CD's, DVD's, videos, books on tape
• Travel guides ie Rough/Michelin guides sort of thing you may buy for a holiday yet some one else could benefit from a borrow.
• Missed a programme on TV? Maybe someone recorded it and wouldn't mind lending the tape for a few days.

How does it work?
Simply send your borrow/lend list to the website (PREFERABLY by email to krystyna@intamail.com). We'll put the info on the page ASAP. If you see something you would like to borrow simply contact that person DIRECTLY.

In order to make the scheme work there are a few suggested rules:
1. If you want to put a title on the website that you want to borrow then you have to put forward something you are willing to lend.
2. Lenders/borrowers must be 18 or over and live within the Giddings.
3. Suggested timescale: 1 month

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A NOTICE BOARD ONLY. To arrange a BORROW please contact the person directly by phone or email.

 

Got something to sell? Something you desperately want or can't find?

Send us your details, with optional photo of the sale item, and we'll post it up for a couple of months free of charge. Non-commercial goods only please.

Advertisers: If you would like to advertise on the site please contact Krystyna now!
