Exchange old games

null null

09:30AM, Monday 08 December 2025

A CHRISTMAS toy and games exchange event will take place in Goring village hall tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am to 12.30pm.

A family can bring up to six good-quality, safe toys, games and a bike suitable for children up to 12 years old.

They can be dropped off in the Bellême room from 9.15am to 9.45am.

The free service is part of the Goring Gap Environmental Organisation’s efforts to reduce waste and increase recycling.

Data from Earth Day 2024 suggests that more than 8.5 million toys end up in landfill each year.
