GABBS Book Fair 1st / 2nd November 2025
It is nearly that time again.
The annual book fair at Barfoot and Thompson Stadium is on Saturday 1st November 9am through to 1am Sunday 2nd, then again Sunday from 7am till 3pm.
Most of the books are $3, with a "SPECIAL" area of the best books with prices as marked.
It is our 30th year so hoping it will be even better than usual!!!
We have even more books than last year, and are especially lucky to have a wonderful near new collection of militaria books kindly donated by a collector.
Lots of puzzles, CDs, DVDs, records, and games also available.
Due to the huge number of donated books received, we are closing the drop off for donations as from this Saturday 25th October to give our volunteers time to get ready for the big event.
Bring your own bags to grab some bargains from our huge range of both fiction and non-fiction.
Hope to see you there.
