THE “Red Rock Rummage: Fashion Meets Fundraising” event has been launched to raise money for new chairs for the community hall.
Bookings for stalls close on 11 December and the Rummage takes place on Sunday 11 January.
“Our goal is to purchase 80 new chairs so we can properly fit out our hall,” said Red Rock Multi Use Centre (MUC) Treasurer/Booking Officer Debra Guy.
“We’ve kept the best of the old chairs, but many of them have reached the end of their life.”
The committee has been working hard to modernise the space and make it more useful for the community.
“We already host yoga, tai chi and breath-work classes, along with birthdays, weddings and other celebrations and we’ve got exciting plans for more activities in 2026.
“But we simply can’t run them without comfortable and safe seating.”
The MUC is a self-funded community hall, supported by grants to help improve facilities.
“We were fortunate to receive a $1000 grant from the City of Coffs Harbour which is a great start to our chair fund.”
As the first Red Rock Rummage, the organisers are keen for the community to get behind it.
“We’re welcoming stallholders with quality pre-loved or vintage clothing and accessories, women’s, men’s and kids’.
“Anything with a second life in it is perfect for the rummage, whether that’s fashion, shoes, bags or unique finds from the back of the wardrobe.”
Testing the water for future twists on the theme, the committee sees future fundraisers in a dedicated trash-and-treasure, a handmade goods day, or a market focused on tools, gardening equipment or fishing gear, Ms Guy said.
Stallholders and visitors can expect a friendly, fun and community-driven atmosphere.
Alongside the stalls, the Brown Brothers Wines company will have a pop-up stall showcasing their new zero-alcohol range for tastings.
Entry tickets include tea, coffee and fresh scones.
“We’re building a great raffle lineup too.
“We’ve got some super prizes already, so it’ll feel like a proper community day out – relaxed, social and full of great finds.”
