Ikea used to do a big roll of paper cheaply if you have one nearby - in with the kids stuff

If it's for a club, does your local authority have a scrapstore type place?
Otherwise, wilkos, local £ shop, or reams of A4 printer paper from tesco etc.

I got a huge roll of paper on ebay very cheaply. Thought the postage would be awful but it was sent very cheaply via courier.

Viking sell allsorts of stuff.
There are difference grades of lining wallpaper, it does rip easily and doesn't fold crisply if you are hoping to make models etc.

Years ago I got an end of roll of unused paper from a printers for free. It was for a playscheme though so the printers were happy to donate it.

Schools often use Sugar Paper. When I did playgroup, we used to get it in A2 size from Hampshire County Supplies (schools supplier).

Artful Dodgers can supply sugar paper, £8.04+vat for 250 sheets assorted colours. But postage is quite high - though cheaper than an E-bay seller, I located while searching!
