Story

New Year, new puzzles.  We have got some great ones in the Exchange now, and many thanks to all our regular Exchangers as well as the steady stream of new participants.  

The Bishop's Stortford Jigsaw Exchange is being held on the first Saturday of every month from 1pm-3:30.   The next three will be on the 5th February, 5th March and 2nd April 2022.

It works like this:

  • Bring some puzzles if you have them (large and small puzzles welcome but not children’s puzzles please).
  • Take some puzzles.
  • Put some money in the bucket or e-bucket for Isabel Hospice.

It is held on my driveway (weather permitting) or under the shelter of my garage door.  13 Regency Close, CM23 2NP – the first house on the right as you enter the close.  I have shelves full of puzzles to get us started but obviously the stock changes throughout the event, so there is no need to get there early.  We have raised nearly £5,000 for the hospice (we get a lot of cash in the bucket as well as the e-donations through JustGiving), thank you so much to everyone who has been super-generous with your donations.

Hopefully we are in the final stages of Covid restrictions, but many people who enjoy doing jigsaws also have to take care of their health.  So please be super-polite when you are here, follow whichever rules apply on the day and give your fellow Exchangers plenty of space. I'll stay open later if necessary, there is no rush.
