Peter Bottomley and the team at MAAW will be among three local op shops throwing owning their doors as part of the Spring Fling Op Shop Night.

To celebrate the arrival of spring three Castlemaine op shops will be joining forces to hold an incredible ‘Spring Fling’ half price sale this Friday evening, September 5!
The Salvation Army Thrift Shop, Mount Alexander Animal Welfare Opportunity Shop, and Windarring Recycled Store will all have a huge range of items available for purchase with a 50 per cent discount!
MAAW Op Shop coordinator Peter Bottomley said they have some great quality merchandise in store and the sale nights are always very well patronised.
“It’s a lot of fun, a great way to support the stores, grab an extra special bargain, and celebrate the arrival of the new season!” he said.
The sale will kick off at 3pm at Windarring, 317 Barker Street Castlemaine and conclude at 6pm. The Salvation Army Thrift Shop at 46 Forest Street, sale will run between 4pm to 7pm, and the Mount Alexander Animal Welfare Opportunity Shop at 12 Johnstone Street, will have sale items available between 4pm to 7pm.
So ‘Spring’ into your favourite Oppy, great a bargain and do your part to reduce, reuse and recycle and save items from landfill!
