disappointed :american school boot sale

By lamea

we went to the bootsale at the american school as well as the one at the messiliah compound.

though there wasnt much variety but everyone was very pleasant and the cakes available were very tasty and reasonably priced. i particularly liked the chocolate yogurt cake as well as the coffee cake.

the american school bootsale had a lot to offer but the food items were not as good as the other garage sale i went  to. they also had an entry charge of 10riyals per head which i thought was outrageous especially considering a family of five. it was a boot sale not the Global Village dubai!!!!

ten per head maybe affordable for some of us but many are there just to save up by buying goods at a bargain, for them this is not reasonable.

my suggestion to the organisers is that next time they please inform us of the entry charge in the ad or post, so we wont be taken by surprise.

Oryx, i agree but it was too hot at 2pm!!! 4pm or 5pm would have been better.

Masila compound had books either about Islam or Alcholism or embroidery...strange!

And when the ASD say 2pm...could they please stick to 2pm...?

Thanks

They should tell about entry charges earlier.
