Could you take the stuff you have dealt with already to it Gz? That way you get a bit of money and a bit of room and perhaps the rest will be ready for the following year. Sounds a very long job.

It is a long job, I should have enough by January. Hopefully I can shift two complete bikes and most of the frames before then.
I'm on the organisers list..he just emailed me about the August one, but I should be in France then, and being outside in Manchester, weather and results can be variable
I foresee another call for a local van to visit the local tip at the end of the gardening season. I couldn't carry it all on the bus (well 2 buses now) and they don't allow foot traffic into the tip anyway.
There may be a few knackered household items but not as many as the last time. Shame the family moved - they used to include my crap along with theirs periodically.
Am about to dig into the wardrobe of now unworn items. Threw out two pairs of trousers this week and need to explore what has gathered (often unworn now due to change of lifestyle).
If you don't see me for some time I've got to the back and found the doorway to Narnia.
Well that was a depressing wardrobe clearing. The doorway to Narnia is not at the back and a very large bin bag of clothes not even fit for the charity shop removed. Nothing matches anything now mind.
I remember in the old days of blogging I followed an allotment holder who kept a very fashionable scarecrow who changed outfits depending on the charity shop reduced rail.
Didn't need to call a man with a van in the end. Neighbour took the knackered shredder to the tip along with her broken mirror. She and her sister are sure they can clean up the large heavy duty pan to keep for one of their family members who is always burning pans.
Have a few other unused catering items but not yet will the posh scales and the hand blender go elsewhere. The Win10 computer that failed has been taken away by the techie who supplied it. For scrapping most likely.
Well that bit of downsizing almost hurt. I've let go of the CD collection. It's years old and with the departure of the Win10 computer, nowhere to play the stuff. I looked at getting a decent CD player but "not at that price". Someone round the corner has taken them away. It happened fast. Probably a good thing or I would have changed my mind.

I'm downsizing my 3 seater leather sofa for a 2 seater sofabed. Unfortunately the old one hasn't left the premises and I get the next one on sunday 😄
Anyone want a 3 seater dark blue Milan made sofa? Has its labels, a couple of scuffs on the back and one small cut on the seat....
We still have a lot of vinyl records going way back. Also have a lot of CDs, and quite a lot of videos. We can play them but not as easily as we used to be able to.
Gz, that could be awkward. Sorry, don't need a sofa and you are a bit far away.
If you could see the shelves of CDs in one of the local charity shops you'd realise just how many of us have already done the clearing. Not sure they are a selling commodity.

Reducing mug stock.
Four going to #2 son who likes them, two others , ditto to #1 son
Box of cycling themed mugs going as prizes /gifts at the last Womens' Track Fund session at Glasgow velodrome
Two bags so far of various mugs and glassware for the op shops, plus two bags of books.
All this is time consuming and taking away from making....but on the other hand clutter also affects the ability to make....
