Bountiful books, home-made cakes, and plentiful DVDs, all at Anglican Book Fair

It’s the one big event of the year for serious readers throughout Blayney Shire and the wider district — the annual Anglican Church Book Fair.

Running for the next two Fridays and Saturdays, (April 21–22 and April 28–29), this year it features about 10,000 original titles ranging from Agatha Christie to Peter Fitzsimons, Dickens to Dostoevsky, and everything in between.

“We’re starting each day at 9am in the Church Hall on Adelaide Street and, this year, we have a lot by Australian authors,” Organiser Elizabeth Russ said.

“We’ve also got a very big run of books on military matters, and a good general range of authors, fiction and nonfiction,” she added.

With most people now watching their favourite shows and films on streaming services, there’s also been a rush on that old family favourite, the boxed TV or movie series gift set. “This year, we also have plenty of DVDs, hundreds of them, so if you like the old-style home cinema experience, dropdown,” she said.

“There will also be a trading table with homemade cakes, home-grown plants, jams and biscuits, and plenty more,” she added.

Volunteers are also being sought for this major annual fundraiser that supports the many good deeds of the local Anglican Parish that is based out of Christ Church, Blayney. “Yes, please, anyone who can volunteer for even a couple of hours, is most welcome,” Elizabeth said.
