While travelling around the Canberra suburbs I have noticed a few churches will be having their "coffee op-shops" or "second hand clothing op-shops" (their words, not mine).
St Ninian's on the corner Mouat and Brigalow Streets in Lyneham will be having a second hand clothing op-shop between 9am and midday on Saturday 6 March.

Also the Anglican Christ Church in Hawker, on the corner of Belconnen Way and Beetaloo street in Hawker will be having a Coffee Op-Shop on Saturday 6 March between 9am and 1pm.

Can any I-opers who go to these sales please find out for us, how often, and when, they have these sales.

Op-shop review - Pandoras O'Connor and Hawker Coffee Op-Shop.
Taph and I decided to visit a couple of smaller op-shops that live around Canberra.
Our first visit was a little while ago to Pandoras in O'Connor. 
This little op-shop operates from a Tin shed out the back of The Anglican Church of St Phillips in O'Connor. Prices are a reasonable, but range is limited due to the size, and opening hours of the shop (currently Friday and Saturday mornings only). However they have tea and coffee available for a gold coin donation. 
The Other visit was to the Coffee Op-Shop that operates at the Christ-Church at Hawker (another Anglican Church). 
This op-shop operates between 9am and 12, on some Saturdays where they convert the back of the church into an op shop. Once again, as this is a part time op shop, the range is limited and the prices are little on the high side.
Their books are a little pricey, with hard covers costing $3, but paperbacks are only a $1.

They also offer Tea, Coffee and cakes. We did not get a chance to try these, but the cakes they put out for another customer looked very tasty.
There was not much there we wanted however with did find 2 Ripping Yarns videos, two books and a "sporran" that ended up costing us around $9 all up.
