As we will shortly be moving house (and country), I'm in the throws of a
massive clearout. I can't just take all the gardening magazines etc to the
dump ... so ... if anyone would like them, and could collect them (Tadworth,
Surrey) - they're free to a good home :-) There are also loads of food and
craft magazines too if anyone is interested.

Lesley, can I ask you what sort of craft magazines there are? I might be
interested depending on what they are, you see, so if you could enlighten
me
I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.

didn't think of that - i did try Nescot - but they will only accept complete
runs, and to be honest, I don't have the time to check if there do happen to
be any complete runs (although I do think I buy 'everything in sight'

Some issues are December 2002 - so we may run into a huge snag with them
being too recent - but I could just send the +3yr olds to the hospital (in
fact I reckon I'll do that with the general purpose magazines that don't
have themes.)

Thanks for the idea - its much better than just throwing them out, which I
don't feel comfortable with at all.

I'm sure the local GP or Hospital would welcome any free magazines for
their
patients to read.

They might not accept them if they are too recent ;-}

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD :
When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're
down there.

I think I've just found out why hospitals never have recent reading
material. Just rung our local NHS hospital. There is nowhere (and noone)
who would be happy to accept magazines. I am welcome to take them to the
hospital and distribute them amoungst the various waiting rooms myself!! If
I could deliver them to a central place, I would, but to walk through a
hospital that I don't know, looking for waiting rooms to put magazines in is
not something that I have time available to do.

LOL! Once I came across an FHM in a clinic, not very appropriate given the
different age groups of visitors.

But hospitals are *full* of 'strangers' - it's what they're there for!

Unfortunately that's a problem, if there's a hospital friends group or
something like that maybe they can help in ditributing.
I don't think it matters if the reading material is specialist or
general.... patients waiting for their appoinments in outpatients are not
too worried so long as the read is interesting enough to make the wait fly
by,

Charity shops may like to take them, or the local doctors surgery, they
won't mind how old or new they are, most of them are 'borrowed' anyway.

I dump unwanted mags at the local library where people can take as
many as they want for 10p in one of the charity boxes there; GP's
waiting room, hospital outpatient clinics, and on long-route rural
buses.
