Last year I facilitated the disposal of probably hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of surplus school equipment to local community groups which had been brought to Halesworth and was then either given away or sold off at a fraction of its cost.
I have just been informed there is to be a surplus sale arising from the Sudbury and Great Cornard middle schools that are closing this summer.
If you are a Suffolk-based community organisation and are interested in obtaining furniture, tools, equipment, etc. please get in touch with Gavin Turner to make arrangements to view or get his list of what's available as soon as possible but no later than Friday 21st June 2013.
