OUR BELIEFS

OUR FIVE CORE BELIEFS

Car Boot Sales should be happy and friendly places.
We have run car boot sales, for 17 years. It is important to us that our customers should have an enjoyable morning in the countryside. We try our utmost to welcome everyone and make the Baldock Boot Sale a 'happy sale.' Many of our customers use the site as a meeting place and over the years many friendships have been formed.
Buyers Should NOT have to pay for parking or entry.
Unlike every other boot sale we DO NOT CHARGE BUYERS. We believe that if we take money out of their pockets to park or enter then there will be less for them to spend with our sellers. After all I can go to Tesco in Baldock and am not charged to park or shop so why should my customers?
Dogs should be able to shop with their owners!
We welcome shoppers with dogs, although we insist that dogs are kept on leads at all times, their mess is cleared up and taken away and no dogs are left inside cars on hot days. Do bring your dog!
We care about our surroundings.
We live in the countryside and love it. We like those who love it too! Please don't drop any litter, it spoils the day and someone else has to pick it up before we leave.
The Environment.
We care about those animals and birds whose home you visit. Through careful management of the site both during the season and afterwards we have ensured a suitable habitat for birds and animals including Skylarks, Goldfinches, Sparrows, Lapwings, Brown Hares, Muntjacks and Roe Deer.

We also believe:

Taxation is too high (especially fuel).
Politicians are over-paid and not worthy of our vote.
Political Correctness should be assigned to the wheely-bin of life!
Bank Holidays and Summers should be sunny and dry every year.
This country has gone down the plug-hole but we wouldn't want to live elsewhere.
Interest rates should be the lowest in the world.
The Olympics are a wonderful showcase we just can't afford.
Chocolate is food of the Gods!

We hope you will enjoy visiting our Boot Sale and that you'll visit us often
