OXFAM SHOP PENARTH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Regular readers of What\u2019s On will know that I have been volunteering with the Oxfam shop in Penarth for the last 13 years. My responsibility along with two other colleagues is the music section which includes vinyl records, sheet music, small musical instruments (working or broken), pre-recorded cassettes, gig posters, programmes, fanzines and tickets, CDs and old music magazines. Even shellac 78\u2019s (that break easily) if anyone remembers those!<\/p>\n Vinyl records have become increasingly popular in recent years and the shop sells records of all genres-pop, rock, folk, jazz, easy listening, punk and classical. Vinyl is welcomed in all formats – LPs, singles and 12 inch.<\/p>\n The shop with its impressive music section has built up an excellent reputation for selling good quality second hand records and other music related items at fair prices. In the last financial year approximately \u00a317,000 was taken in the music section which goes towards Oxfam\u2019s work across the world.<\/p>\n My colleagues and I research all the donations to ensure that any donations that are received achieve the best possible price.,<\/p>\n Caroline Mumford the shop manager, said \u201cEveryone at the shop has been very grateful to those Wenvoe residents who have made music donations over the last few years. We could not offer our loyal customers such a choice of records and make so much money without your help. Unfortunately at the moment our saleable donations have run really low. So we are appealing to anyone who has music related items that they no longer use to consider donating them to Oxfam here in Penarth\u201d.<\/p>\n If you are a music fan please pop into the shop when you are in Penarth and have a browse around. You never know what you might find!<\/p>\n I live in Wenvoe so I can pick up any donations you may have from your house. Alternatively if you prefer you can contact the shop at 8 Windsor Road, Penarth to arrange a pick up. The shop number is 029 20706358. My number is 07895 157629.<\/p>\n Thank you<\/p>\n Nigel Billingham<\/p>\n OXFAM SHOP PENARTH Regular readers of What\u2019s On will know that I have been volunteering with the Oxfam shop in Penarth for the last 13 years.
