Birmingham Suit Amnesty 2008 - The Date is set for 10th October 2008

Just a quick heads up that the date has been set for the 2008 suit amnesty - and that is the 10th October 2008!

The Town Hall in Birmingham has kindly offered the use of their main hall for the day to act as the main collection point for the suits. If last year is anything to go by we will need the entire space in the hall to collect the 1000+ suits kindly donated by business people from across the city.

It is expected that the same 37 companies who participated last year and more will get involved in the 2008 Suit Amnesty.

The Birmingham Suit Amnesty Committee met on Friday 5th September to set the wheels in motion for this years event and we'll be providing more details over the coming week, so watch this space.
