Hello and welcome to the July edition of Local Choice and, dare I say it, the start of the school holidays for those of you with kids!! But don’t get too stressed, because in this issue we give you lots of ideas on how to keep the little ones occupied and quiet, during those long six weeks.
And, if you do find time to relax and need some holiday reading, then pack your copy of Local Choice and take it away with you.
Kind regards, Mark Prada (Editor)

GOLD & SILVER ROADSHOW
FOR 1 DAY ONLY
MON 28TH JULY from 10.30am to 4.00pm
JEWELLERY AND COIN ROADSHOW
A very lucky couple called at one of our recent roadshow events with a couple of old gold chains and a silver charm bracelet and a bag of old silver British coins. We paid them over £1600.00 just for the coins alone. They turned out to be pre 1947 silver coins that were normal currency a few years ago and are now highly collected. We asked them for their permission to pass on this story to help other people realise what they may be sitting on and they were only too pleased to allow us to let everyone know that they might be sitting on a goldmine and not even know it! Like most people, who can only dream of winning the pools or the lottery, a lot of normal households have a hidden treasure of old gold jewellery, silver jewellery, teapots, trophies, trays and old objects d’art. Why not get a free valuation from our expert at our roadshow at: THE ABBEY HOUSE HOTEL, ABBEY RD, BARROWINFURNESS LA13 0PA.
There is no queuing and our expert will give you a one on one appraisal of the value of your treasured possessions in a private area, where there are no prying eyes, watching the process evolve. If you like the valuation our expert will make you the same offer in cash which you can accept or decline at no cost to yourself. The whole process of valuation is free of charge and very private, so you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
