A deluge at 10.15 on Bank Holiday Monday cleared the Car Boot Sale staged by 37 members of Marlborough Rotary Club within 30 minutes, but the event on the Water Meadows at MarlboroughCollege was far from a washout.
From 8am until the time of the mass exodus the proceeds from sales, donations and refreshments totalled £654, which the Rotary Club will distribute among selected local charities.
The next Rotary car boot sale is on May 27, 2013
