Simon (again as an individual) is organising another Moreland BUG social ride.

Op Shop Ride – Sat 9 Feb 2013.

Start: 10AM Brotherhood St Laurence Op Shop Brunswick (If the 10AM start is a little early for you, join us en-route. I expect to spend around half an hour at each shop)

End: 4PM Al-Alamy Cafe Waterfield Street Coburg.

Visiting:

1. Brotherhood St Laurence – 109 Brunswick Rd Brunswick (Open till 4)
2. Christ Church Brunswick – 8 Glenlyon Rd (open till 1)
3. St Johns Op Shop – Daly St Brunswick (near cnr Victoria St), behind St Johns Church (Open till 1pm)
4. Don Bosco’s – 368 Sydney Rd (Between Albion and Moreland)
5. Salvos Brunswick – 740 Sydney Rd (Between Albion and Moreland) (Open till 5) and if we have time we can pop into two more op-shops near Al-Alamy.

If you are thinking about going on the Batmania superhero ride (Sat 02/03/2013) this is a great opportunity shop for costume inspiration.

To make op shopping a bit more fun we’ll do a show and tell at the end of the ride.

Will you be the rider with …

• The Craziest costume.
• Best find for under $5.00
• Coolest thing you can hold in the palm of your hand.
• Best bad taste / Kitsch item.
• Most stylish ‘DIY Diva” award (i.e. what crafty outfit will you make with your op-shop finds?)
• “Project Inspiration” award (i.e. what mad project will you make with your op-shop finds)
