            <link>http://www.swishing.org/events/297</link>
            <description><![CDATA[August 10, 2010 Strongroom, 120-124 Curtain Road, London Becca and I have too many clothes. We\'d imagine that a lot of you do to. So we\'ve decided it\'s time for a Shoreditch summer swap-fest at the Strongroom!

http://www.strongroom.com/#/bar/4524841291

As are the rules of the Swish, we ask you to bring along some good quality (ie no holes or stains) items of clothing, shoes or accessories to swap with one another.

Guys, we would LOVE you to take part in this as well but if you\'re short on spare clothes (weirdly blokes don\'t seem to have the excess-clothing gene) you can bring along books, DVDs or music which you\'d like to give to a new home.

Becca and I are doing this to raise funds for online young people\'s support charity YouthNet.  So to do this we\'re asking nicely for a donation of Â£5 to come and take part in the swap. Bearing in mind you\'ll probably come away with 4 or 5 new items of clothing or books etc, we think this is very fair :) 

Homemade cakes will be available to buy and we have the lovely DJ Annagrammatical to provide us with some super swapping tunes.

Do come - the more the merrier!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[July 24, 2010 Hyde Park, London What: The Hyde Park Clothes and Book Swap Picnic

When: Saturday, July 24, 2010 3:00 PM

Where: Hyde Park (Speaker\'s Corner)
Close to the Speaker\'s Corner entrance Marble Arch tube
London

Apologies for the late notice about this meetup.

We are hosting a picnic in Hyde Park, by Speaker\'s Corner where members can get to meet each other and swap articles of clothing and books. This is a great chance for us to socialise, exchange frugal living tips and get that new shirt or dress or fine read, while allowing others to take advantage of those articles we have no need for. Let\'s bring food and drink as well to share.

I will set up the picnic area by the Speaker\'s Corner entrance to Hyde Park (closest tube station Marble Arch). Come and enjoy the weather in true frugal fashion!

This is expected to be the LARGEST clothes swap that has ever taken place in Wales with 200 tickets available.

Preparations will kick off at 12pm where people are encouraged to come along and drop off their unwanted items in exchange for tokens.  All items will be sorted and racked accordinaly, then at 6pm, doors will re-open and the swapping will begin.  Any items left at the end of the evening will be donated to cancer charity, Tenvous to sell in their stores. 

The Environment Centre and the City & County of Swansea have been running a series of successful swapping events over the last two years and their popularity has grown and spread across the city. This event will give a greater number of people the opportunity to swap their unwanted items of clothing, shoes and accessories for something that they will really treasure and more people means more to choose from! Swapping instead of shopping is a fun, ethical and sociable way of saving precious resources from landfill and saving you loads of money whilst giving you a new wardrobe.

Entertainment will be provided by Swansea-based Women in Jazz and the Museumâs cafÃ© will be open for you to refresh either before or after your swapping spree.  In addition all attendees will receive a free goody bag full of eco friendly and ethical delights. 


The Rules 

1.	Buy your ticket in advance 
Tickets are Â£7.50 per person and are available from www.greatswanseaclothesswap.co.uk or the Environment Centre, Pier Street, Swansea.

2.	Drop off (12-5pm, Saturday 24 July) 
Bring at least three unwanted, clean and wearable items from your wardrobe that you would be proud to pass on - these can include accessories and shoes, but no underwear, swimwear or earrings.

3.	Swapping (6-8pm, Saturday 24 July)

            <link>http://www.swishing.org/events/282</link>
            <description><![CDATA[June 30, 2010 Anexo The balcony bar at Anexo in Turnmill Street, London (nearest tube, Faringdon) will play host to the first of what we expect to be a series of cheap but most definitely chic pop-up events especially for girls on the 30th June at 7pm.  The Cherry Picked Pop Up Pamper Parlour will preen and pamper girls into princesses.

Girls with tired wardrobes and exhausted purses can come along to the Cherry Picked clothes swap corner for a revamp.  Or, they can update their look by getting on the âpamper production lineâ for a mini-makeover. For only Â£50.00 theyâll have their make-up applied professionally, hair styled by London Fashion Weekâs Sonya Howie and an outfit put together by Cherry Picked.  Theyâll also take away photographs to record their new look.  

Guests can also go shopping for treasures in the mini-market where theyâll find jewellery, accessories and clothes from independent retailers, or purchase a beauty treatment such as a mini reflexology session.

Exclusive tunes from DJ KiRA will keep everyone chilled at this hot event and with tickets priced at only Â£11 including a glass of bubbly and a cupcake (courtesy of Coryâs Mumâs Cupcakes) any glam-loving lady would be nuts to miss it.  So come on, pop along and get pampered!

For tickets, go to http://www.eventsbot.com/events/eb831958006 or email cherrypickedstyling@yahoo.co.uk.

Go to www.cherrypickedstyling.com for info.

The first 20 people to buy tickets will receive a free goody bag too.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[June 29, 2010 Western Leisure Centre, Cowbridge Road West, Cardiff. It\'s arrived, the feel-good way to get a brand new look for summer!

With all proceeds going to the charity Women for Women (www.women-for-women.org), now is the time to get rummaging in those wardrobes to find good quality, good condition items that you no longer \'must have\' and bring them along!

The rules are simple, each person must bring as many (but at least 5) items of clean, good condition clothing and accessories that they no longer want or love.  All the items are displayed so you can try before you (don\'t) buy!  Items will then be re-arranged while you have a chat over a drink and cake, then it\'s back in to claim the items you have to have.

Entry is Â£5 (refreshments included) and there will be a raffle on the night with lots of girly prizes including a Saks gift voucher, \'Girls Night In\' Hamper and a bottle of pink bubbly!

Please arrive with your clothes at 6, ready for a 6.45 start.

Look forward to seeing you all there for a fun night.
