34th annual Blackheath & Greenwich Amnesty book sale
Saturday 21st June 2008
9am until 5pm
Church of the Ascension
Dartmouth Row
Blackheath SE10 8BF
20,000 new and used books at bargain prices. Last year we raised a record-breaking £9,500 for Amnesty International UK. Can we beat our personal best this year?
This sale is dependent entirely on the hard work of a small team of volunteers and generous donations of books. Work starts around about Monday 19th May and continues up until the day of the sale.
If you would like to help with preparing for the sale, or would like to donate books, please leave a comment using the form below.
You can also find us on Upcoming and Facebook. Flyers can be downloaded from flickr.
PS. No <abbr> tags were harmed during the making of this blog post.
We live at 16 Belmont Hill, Lewisham.
Could you contact me soon on the above email address.
Can we leave the books at the Church of the Ascension on Sunday?

Thanks Jenny, I’ve left a message with your housemate.
Books can be dropped off at a garage in Dartmouth Row, just down the road from the Church and opposite the corner with Morden Hill. We will be there on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons from now until 21st June. Approximate times for dropping books off are 7pm – 8:30pm (weekdays) and 2pm – 3:30pm (weekends and Bank Holiday Monday).
In preparing my Will and donating my book collection to you(by the way I’ve no intention of popping off yet!) can I please know your official address so I can include it. I took lots of books to “the garage” neighbour yesterday.
Hi there – I’ve got some books for you – where exactly is the garage? I’ll happily drop them off.
No problem – found it…
Sandra: thanks for your books!
Maggie: you can donate your books to Amnesty International Blackheath & Greenwich, but I’m afraid we don’t have an official address. Our contact address will be whoever is acting as secretary at the time – currently me but the address changes as people move.
What’s the date of your November 2008 sale please?
Hi Steve,
The next sale will be Saturday 15th November 2008.
I am wondering when you start collecting for November 15th? I have a lot of books to donate and would be glad of some advice …. I can pop into the garage when I know there is someone there? Thanks. G.
Hi Georgiana,
I’m afraid the November sale is aimed at clearing the thousands of books left over from the June sale. We won’t be collecting at the garage until next May, when we start preparing for the 2009 sale.
Could you kindly let me know the date of the Amnesty book sale in 2009? Many thanks.
Hi I was just wondering how I would go about joining the Greenwich Amnesty international group?I would love to be able to get involved in some way.
Thanks
Hey,
I am interested also in getting involved with the Amnesty Interntional group Greenwich so it would be much appreciated if someone could get back to me.
Hi I live locally and have a number of books that you are welcome to for your sale later in the year. if you are interested please can you tell me where i can drop them off. Many thanks Rosie Ames

Hi. Not sure if you can help me or not…..
I’m looking for someone named Neil Conduit….who I believe may be part of your organisation. If it’s the right Neil he would be around 47 years of age….and he has travelled a lot, particularly around South East asia, and has spent a lot of time in Yemen. I have lost contact with him over the years but spent several months travelling with him in Indonesia about 16 years ago. Could you please pass this message on if you think this might be the same Neil? I’d love to hear from him.
Thanks,
Louise George.
Hi Louise,
This Neil Conduit, I assume: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eatyourgreens/1394227602/in/set-72157602047764369/
I’ll pass your message on.

Hi, I am a trainee journalist based in London – I’m really interested in the issues you guys campaign for and would love to talk to someone about possibly writing a small article about it? I’d be grateful if someone could email me asap.
Kind Regards
Gemma
