304.0. "Freezer loan for a day, please." by CHEST::WHITTINGTON (Crescent relocatee to Solent....) Thu May 24 1990 14:03

    Our local school is having thier summer fair on 16th June and with the
    current weather, it looks like being a nice warm day. We would like to
    sell ice creams as they are likely to be very popular, but we are
    having difficulty getting hold of a freezer or two.
    
    Can anyone help by lending us a chest freezer for the day?
    
    We would be most grateful. I am sure we could organise transport
    somehow. The biggest challenge seems to be in finding the freezer in
    the first place.

    Our local School Summer Fair has borrowed a chest freezer from Iceland
    in Farnborough.  We have to collect and return it and it must be
    returned within 2 days.  This is a "freebie", but maybe influenced by
    the fact the one of the organising committee works for said company.
    
    We used to get Ice Cream, Hamburgers, Sausages, etc. from Bejam (now
    Iceland) on a "Sale or Return" basis, but this has recently been
    stopped, but might be worth enquiring.
    
    Good luck for the 16th (our's is on the 23rd).
