BMI Vintage & Collectables Shop

The shop

The shop concept was initiated in 2018 by some BMI female members who generously donated garments to assist the shop’s commencement.

The shop space was over-flowing with quality garments at the shop’s opening on the May 2019 Heritage weekend.

Since then, Geraldine Roberts has coordinated the receipt and pricing of garments and the staffing of the shop.

 

staffing

Over the years a number of people have assisted with looking after the shop, all involved have found it a steep learning curve and I’m very grateful for their assistanceAll personnel who staff the shop are volunteers.

All of the shop income is returned to the BMI and is a major fundraising activity.
