John Magno has been praised for his idea on making the new
Victorian public holiday, Grand Final Friday, a special trading day with
extended hours. It would appear that there is insufficient time to get the
logistics right for this year but 2016 will be in our sights.
In the meantime John has some thoughts on events in A shed
following the vacating of the Fruit & Vegetable traders on the north side
of the aisle. We understand that the new open space is to be available soon and
John considers that it would be an ideal spot for food festival type operations
and in fact preferable to Queen St. Rather than clutter up Queen St. and draw
crowds out of the sheds we could draw crowds in to the sheds and enhance the
experience for the Victoria St. shops at the same time. John’s idea appears to
have merit.

What do other people think of this? "
