•Hand over your items to the swaps desk on arrival in return for your swaps card on which we will give you one credit for each item you bring.
•Swapping will commence at 8pm. Each attendee will be given a Refashionable cotton tote bag to stash their goodies in. There are also toilets available for trying on clothes.
•Items will be ticked off your swap card before you leave. You will be allowed to take the same amount of items you bring (so make sure not to misplace your swap card)
