Let's Get Minted on Vinted

Some of you may have spotted a new laundry bin in the ladies’ locker room. This fantastic initiative comes from Eleanor Stewart, who’s kindly putting her Vinted experience to good use!

You’ll find a poster with more details attached below. In short – we’re asking everyone to have a look through their wardrobes for any unwanted or unworn clothing. We’re accepting ladies, gents, and children’s items, and if something still has the tag on – even better!

All proceeds from the sale of donated clothing will go directly to the on-course toilet fund.

A huge thanks to Eleanor for taking the lead on this!
