DAST still have quite a
few of Our Asbestos Heritage booklets to distribute. These contain information for those
interested in collecting vintage items, renovating period properties or working
in the heritage/museum sector. The booklets share personal experiences that
indicate where asbestos might be found and what kind of items to be careful of.
Here’s a couple of examples of the inside pages:
Do you know of anyone who
might be able to distribute some of these booklets? An example might be a friend
or relative who works in a museum or an antiques shop, who could put a few on
the front counter.
In an effort to distribute
some of these ourselves, DAST have decided to take a stall on Chesterfield Flea
Market. On Thursday November 1st the market is holding a 1940s
themed event, which we think will attract many people who are interested in mid
20th century items and properties, when use of asbestos was at its
peak. We intend to take a stall on that day and to give out the books to those
visiting our stall.
But we also need something
to sell. We need attractive, second hand items that will being people to our
stall and also raise a bit of money to cover the cost of hiring it. We have
decided to sell old costume jewellery – and this is where you come in! Do you
have any old necklaces, bracelets, brooches or earrings that you can donate to
us?
If so, please bring them
along to a future meeting or post them to:
Sarah Walters, DAST, 34
Glumangate, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S40 1TX
Anything that doesn’t sell
on the market will be put on ebay.
Thanks in advance!
